v0.5.2-rc1

This release tackles several latency issues in the message processing pipeline. It improves the latency of the message and tx processing pipeline when processing new messages/txs after being idle. It also makes the garbage collection process asynchronous as deleting large files in the pipeline directly caused severe latency issues.

Breaking changes

• Files are now given a grace period after being forgotten, 24 hours by default.
