+
+### 🔦 Highlights
+
+* The introduction of a record-store cache has significantly reduced the node's disk IO. As a side
+  effect, the CPU does less work, and performance improves. RAM usage has increased by around 25MB per
+  node, but we view this as a reasonable trade off.
+* The node's relay server now supports more connections: when running with `--home-network`, up to
+  256 will be supported, and otherwise, it will be 1024. Along with minor tweaks to utilize the
+  relay server properly, this should hopefully result in less connections being dropped.
+* Reward forwarding is more robust.
+* Chunk verification is now probabilistic, which should reduce messaging. In combination with
+  replication messages also being reduced, this should result in a bandwidth usage reduction of
+  ~20%.
+* Replication messages are less frequent, reducing bandwidth by ~20% per node. 
+* Bad nodes and nodes with a mismatched protocol are now added to a block list. This reduces the
+  chance of a network interference and the impact of a bad node in the network.
+* For the time being, hole punching has been removed. It was causing handshake time outs, resulting
+  in home nodes being less stable. It will be re-enabled in the future.
+* Wallet password encryption enhances security, and in the case of secret key leakage, prevents
+  unauthorized access.
+* Native Apple Silicon (M-series) binaries have been added to our releases, meaning M-series Mac
+  users do not have to rely on running Intel binaries with Rosetta.

+
+### Detailed Changes
+
+#### Network
+
+##### Added
+
+- Protection against an attack allowing bad nodes or clients to shadow a spend (make it disappear)
+  through spamming.
+- Nodes allow more relayed connections through them. Also, home nodes will relay through 4 nodes
+  instead of 2. Without these changes, relays were denying new connections to home nodes, making them
+  difficult to reach.
+- Auditor tracks forwarded payments using the default key. 
+- Auditor tracks burnt spend attempts and only credits them once.
+- Auditor collects balance of UTXOs.
+- Added different attack types to the spend simulation test to ensure spend validation is solid.
+- Bad nodes and nodes with a mismatched protocol are now added to a block list. This reduces the
+  chance of a network interference and the impact of a bad node in the network.
+- The introduction of a record-store cache has significantly reduced the node's disk IO. As a side
+  effect, the CPU does less work, and performance improves. RAM usage has increased by around 25MB per
+  node, but we view this as a reasonable trade off.
+
+##### Changed
+
+- For the time being, hole punching has been removed. It was causing handshake time outs, resulting
+  in home nodes being less stable. It will be re-enabled in the future.
+- Force connection closure if a peer is using a different protocol.
+- Reserve trace level logs for tracking event statistics. Now you can use `SN_LOG=v` to get more
+  relevant logs without being overwhelmed by event handling stats.
+- Chunk verification is now probabilistic, which should reduce messaging. In combination with
+  replication messages also being reduced, this should result in a bandwidth usage reduction of
+  ~20%.
+
+##### Fixed
+
+- During payment forwarding, CashNotes are removed from disk and confirmed spends are stored to
+  disk. This is necessary for resolving burnt spend attempts for forwarded payments.
+- Fix a bug where the auditor was not storing data to disk because of a missing directory.
+- Bootstrap peers are not added as relay candidates as we do not want to overwhelm them.
+
+#### Client
+
+##### Added
+
+- Basic global documentation for the `sn_client` crate.
+- Option to encrypt the wallet private key with a password, in a file called
+  `main_secret_key.encrypted`, inside the wallet directory.
+- Option to load a wallet from an encrypted secret-key file using a password.
+- The `wallet create` command provides a `--password` argument to encrypt the wallet.
+- The `wallet create` command provides a `--no-password` argument skip encryption.
+- The `wallet create` command provides a `--no-replace` argument to suppress a prompt to replace an
+  existing wallet.
+- The `wallet create` command provides a `--key` argument to create a wallet from a hex-encoded
+  private key.
+- The `wallet create` command provides a `--derivation` argument to set a derivation passphrase to
+  be used with the mnemonic to create a new private key.
+- A new `wallet encrypt` command encrypts an existing wallet.
+
+##### Changed
+
+- The `wallet address` command no longer creates a new wallet if no wallet exists.
+- The `wallet create` command creates a wallet using the account mnemonic instead of requiring a
+  hex-encoded secret key.
+- The `wallet create` `--key` and `--derivation` arguments are mutually exclusive.
+
+#### Launchpad
+
+##### Fixed
+
+- The `Total Nanos Earned` stat no longer resets on restart.
+
+#### RPC Client
+
+##### Added
+
+- A `--version` argument shows the binary version
+
+#### Other
+
+##### Added
+
+- Native Apple Silicon (M-series) binaries have been added to our releases, meaning M-series Mac
+  users do not have to rely on running Intel binaries with Rosetta.
