In Hedera Services 0.14.0, we have implemented account auto-renewal according to the specifications of HIP-16. This feature will not be enabled until a later date, after ensuring universal awareness of its impact in the user community.
This release also includes notable infrastructure work to enable use of the Platform reconnect feature. Reconnect allows a node that has fallen behind in consensus gossip to catch back up dynamically.
A minor improvement to the Hedera API is that the GetVersionInfo query now includes the optional pre-release version and build metadata fields from the Semantic Versioning spec (if applicable). In another change to HAPI, to simplify life for system admins who are updating a system account's key, we now waive the signing requirement for the account's new key.
