Release v0.25.0

v0.25.0

Note:
Waku Filter v2 now has three additional configuration options
--filter-max-peers-to-serve=1000 drives how many peers can subscribe at once and
--filter-max-criteria=1000 defines what is the maximum criterion stored per each peers

This release introduces a major change in Filter v2 protocol subscription management.
From now each subscribed peer needs to refresh its living subscriptions by sending a SUBSCRIBER_PING message every 5 minutes by default, otherwise the peer's subscription will be removed.
--filter-subscription-timeout=300 defines configurable timeout for the subscriptions (in seconds).

New experimental feature, shard aware peer manager for relay protocol can be activated by the flag:
--relay-shard-manager=true|false
It is disabled by default.

Announcement:

Please notice that from the next release (0.26.0) we will deprecate features.

• JSON-RPC API will be removed completely. Instead we recommend you to utilize REST API endpoints that have same and extended functionality.
• We will retire websockets support for RLN on-chain group management. You are expected to use HTTP version of ETH_CLIENT_ADDRESS
