This release marks Penumbra's 8th testnet, Philophrosyne. Since the previous testnet, Herse, a number of small improvements have been made:
- Removed legacy Postgres code, completing the transition to Rocksdb
- Updated documentation
- Renamed light/thin wallets and started implementation of new wallet client protocol
- Refactored ShieldedcPool::write_block
- Fix various bugs in Tendermint voting power handling
- Improved performance of minted notes by using their NCT position as blinding factor
