Highlights
This version of the Block-Node includes several bug fixes on the Helidon gRPC server that solver reliability issues on long term streaming, Includes compression for the local persistence of the blocks, adds a partial verification feature, that re-calculates the hash of the block and compares it with the hash provided to partially verify the integrity of the block
Additionally added several improvements in observability, since logs are being formatted and exported to Loki (when using the helm chart) for a centralized and indexable searches on logs.
Has several enhancements and fixes on the simulator, such as a memory issues solved, publish of simulator image to the container registry, addition of a metrics dashboard to the provisioned grafana included on the docker-compose dev env and helm charts.
Lastly several version upgrades across all the project, most notably from gradle source build to use org.hiero plugins.
