Major New Features
- Add support for cross-program invocations that allow on-chain programs to issue synchronous processed instructions to other programs.
- Add support for program signing with program derived addresses
- Optimistic confirmation (Network will behave as if we have one block confirmations as long as no more than 4.66% of the validators are acting maliciously. Applications can assume that 2/3+ votes observed in gossip confirm a block or that at least 4.66% of the network is violating the protocol. More details here: https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/master/docs/src/proposals/optimistic-confirmation-and-slashing.md)
