🌟 Highlights

- Fixed an issue causing excessive
unknown actor codelogs
Improved performance for retrievals over graphsync
We have simplified how unpaid retrievals over graphsync work. This results in significantly less calls to the Lotus API, and legacy code paths, which should result in increased download speeds and overall retrieval performance. All paid deals, or custom voucher types, will fallback to the old retrieval path. We'll be posting more information about our performance testing as part of the official release.
