High level summary
We have been working towards cardano-node-1.35.5 release. QA & benchmarking
teams gave a green light for the release, and we made decent progress with some
CI problem which we encountered on the way (PR #4612). We are also working on
peer sharing, making improvements in our testing infrastructure, reducing
technical debt and making progress towards io-sim-1.0.0.0. Galois is making
progress on Handshake improvements.
