High-level summary

This week, the Hydra team accomplished several important tasks. They held their monthly review meeting and drafted the report for May. They made progress on implementing the first end-to-end journey for external commits using "Option A" for normal UTxOs, while still considering "Option B". The team also integrated a Spanish translation contributed by the community, created micro-benchmarks for transaction validation and deserialization, and made improvements to hydra-node's version reporting. Last but not least, they implemented the ability to commit multiple UTxOs to a head at once.
