Release v1.7.1 changes
- Crates versions bumped to "v1.7.1”, runtime spec version bumped to 1710 (#4487);
- Weights of extrinsic and WASM calls WERE NOT updated.
Update requirements
Important
Upcoming release will deprecate previous approach of reading state inside programs using fn state() and applicable RPC calls read_state/read_state_using_wasm as well as gmeta crate, in favor of sails-like approach of calculate_reply_for_handle and required dispatch (read, immutable) functions inside fn handle. Make sure to migrate your programs to the new approach. Previously uploaded programs will work for some amount of releases.
Warning
It's still not recommended to use windows-based nodes for blocks validation.
