😶‍🌫 Meta

• Scope: Node
• Is this linked with a network upgrade, and thus mandatory? Yes
• Related network upgrade version: nv24

Summary

This release is nv24++ meaning it will have the minimum functionality needed for nv24 (i.e., what is in v1.30.0), but also some additional functionality that is higher risk that we don't want to obligate users to upgrade to during a network upgrade. The set of additional functionality includes:

• A new ChainIndexer that subsumes that existing MsgIndex, EventIndex and TransactionIndex #12453
• filecoin-ffi Release v1.31.0 (nv24++) filecoin-ffi#490

This issue will get populated with the release issue template after v1.29.2 is released so that we bring in the latest template improvement.

The issue description was updated to make clear that this will be a parallel release to v1.30.0 and that it will include functionality beyond what is required for nv24.
