This will affect how the new extensions_type attributes are reported for signed_block, or block when represented in json. This will affect the following endpoint:
/v1/chain/get_block

The block json object will have an optional:

• "new_protocol_features" array of objects with a field of "feature_digest" which reports the feature's digest value (the same digest that is reported in logging when nodeos is started)
• "new_producer_schedule" object with:
  • "version" number for the new schedule
  • "producers" array of objects with:
    • "producer_name" name of the producer
    • "authority" block signing authority for the producer
• "additional_signatures" array of additional signatures provided on the block

This will also affect how the new extensions_type attributes are reported for transactions (but not signed_transactions) when represented in json. This will affect the following endpoint:
/v1/chain/get_scheduled_transactions

The transaction json object will have an optional:

• "deferred_transaction_generation" object with:
  • "sender_trx_id" sender transaction id
  • "sender_id" id of the sender
  • "sender" sender account name
