This optional release of Lotus introduces a major refactor around how a Lotus node interacts with code from the specs-actors repo. We now use interfaces to read the state of actors, which is required to be able to reason about different versions of actors code at the same time.
Additionally, this release introduces various improvements to the sync process, as well as changes to better the overall UX experience.
