 * Number of transactions included in a chunk will be lowered if there is a congestion of more than 20000 delayed receipts in a shard. [#9222](https://github.com/near/nearcore/pull/9222)
 * Our more efficient and scalable V2 routing protocol is implemented. It shadows the V1 protocol for now while we verify its performance. [#9187](https://github.com/near/nearcore/pull/9187)
 * The default config now enables TIER1 outbound connections by default. [#9349](https://github.com/near/nearcore/pull/9349)
