High level summary​

• Golden tests for cardano-cli command help output were added.
• Documentation was updated with new libsodium installation instructions.
• There were several updates for the cardano-cli:
  • Deletion of the deprecated shelley command group.
  • Addition of golden tests for CLI help.
  • An improvement to avoid bare IO in tests, allowing better error reporting in failed tests.
  • Generation of UTCTime test values without leap seconds (avoids erroneous test failures)
  • Support for signing transactions with GenesisDelegateSigningKey_ed25519_bip32.
• The cardano-api underwent multiple refinements:
  • Implementing deposit handling when balancing transactions (necessary for Conway)
  • Cleaning up socket file path code.
• Several changes were made to the cardano-testnet:
  • Adding golden tests for cardano-testnet help.
  • Removing all hardcoded yaml files in cardano-testnet
  • Improving cardano-testnet help output.
  • Parameterizing default yaml configuration value, allowing for easier hardforking to the era of choice.
