  • Cardano-node has been updated to 10.1.4, cardano-cli and the -ng variant to 10.1.1.0 and 10.2.0.0 respectively, and mithril to v2450. Colmena has been updated to utilize a new pure flake evaluation approach. New nix jobs were added for a new "next-gen" network spin up method, which supports network creation with a fork directly to Conway and then retirement of the genesis bootstrap pool in favor of on-chain registered backbone pools. CI tests to support these new jobs were added.
