High level overview

This week, the Mithril team released the pre-release version of the 2517.0-pre distribution. This version supports Cardano node v.10.3.1 and allows for signing ancillary files in the Cardano database snapshots using an IOG key. It also includes various bug fixes and improvements. The team continued implementing incremental certification for the Cardano database, also known as Cardano node database v2, which has been activated on the release-preprod test network.

The team has completed the proof of concept for the Mithril/ALBA aggregation proof system. They also simplified the configuration of the aggregator's commands and improved the dependency injection process. In addition, they implemented a publisher abstraction to facilitate the publication of signatures in the signer.

Finally, the team focused on speeding up the compilation time of Rust nodes and libraries, while continuing to refactor the STM cryptographic library for improved clarity.
