Cluster Administration:
The Corda REST worker will now support Kubernetes Ingress. This means that the REST worker will now support HTTP load balancing. It will also enable optional annotations for additional integration.
Network Operation:
The notary server CPB is now signed with a signing key. This signing key is used to create the CPI and then the CPI is imported to Corda.
Additionally, there are several metrics that are now available to provide you an insight into the uniqueness checking functionality provided by the notary. A full list of these metrics can be found here.
CorDapp Development:
The following new functions have been added to UtxoLedgerService:
- sendAndReceiveTransactionBuilder
