What's Changed
Transaction Broadcasting V2
@danield9tqh in #1803 rewrote our transaction broadcasting by adding support for broadcasting transactions by hash in addition to broadcasting full transactions. Transactions are relatively large, so we expect this to generally reduce bandwidth usage. After the same work is done for block broadcasting, it'll allow us to no longer continuously fetch the list of peers from all connected nodes.
chain:prune command
@NullSoldier in #1948 added a chain:prune command to delete forks from the chain and compact the database. It doesn't yet reduce the size of the database as much as we'd like, so we're planning to make further improvements here.
Rust box/unbox message
@mat-if in #1872 moved message encryption from the JavaScript worker pool to Rust. We expect this to reduce the frequency of WebRTC signaling timeouts when a node's worker pool is under load, and will monitor to make sure it doesn't significantly increase load on the main thread.
