New features and enhancements

• [AIP-100] Private Entry Function for Multisig Account Creation: This AIP proposes adding new private entry functions to allow an existing Aptos account to create a multisig account using a signer, without requiring complex steps to generate a signature of a struct as proof.
  • Author: @yeptos
  • Ecosystem Impact: https://github.com/aptos-foundation/AIPs/blob/main/aips/aip-100.md#impact

• Introduces a new message RoundTimeoutMsg for consensus peers to indicate round timeouts. This change will stop overloading the VoteMsg with timeout information in a future release. [https://github.com//pull/14433]

Performance

• Execution performance improvement via removal of redundant memory copying.

Framework

• Add ability to destroy caps for a managed coin, to stop the ability to mint / burn later #14758

Resolved Issues

Bug Fixes

Breaking Changes

• [AIP-99] Disable Safe Burn of User-Owned Objects: Disables burn of objects
  • Ecosystem Impact: Users will no longer be able to burn soulbound objects. It’s very unlikely this will affect anyone’s flow.
  • Feature Flag: None

Aptos Blockchain

General

• Cleanup various logs, to reduce (not-too-useful) log volume
• Fix potential deadlock in state_key::Entry::drop. Thanks to @gftea for reporting the issue.

Consensus Observer

• Support multiple concurrent subscription streams, to improve reliability and fault tolerance.
• Improvements to peer selection for subscription stream creation and termination.
• Disable CO by default for VFNs (VFNs are currently only opt-in)

Quorum Store

• Minor improvements to the performance of proof queue in Quorum Store.

Move

• Fixed a bug with ABI generation for Move 2 (bytecode version 7)
• Fixed some issues in VM enum implementation as result of auditing

Gas

• updated RestAPI gas estimation, to account for AIP-68 - Use Case Aware Block Reordering. Together those allow steady state traffic to pay minimal gas price, and go through with low latency, even if traffic for some DApp suddenly spikes.

Performance

• Validators optimistically commit data to DB before execution result is confirmed by a quorum, resulting in reduced latency.
