TON v2024.09-1

2024.08 Update

1. Introduction of dispatch queues, message envelopes with transaction chain metadata, and explicitly stored msg_queue size, which will be activated by Config8.version >= 8 and new Config8.capabilities bits: capStoreOutMsgQueueSize, capMsgMetadata, capDeferMessages.
2. A number of changes to transcation executor which will activated for Config8.version >= 8:
   • Check mode on invalid action_send_msg. Ignore action if IGNORE_ERROR (+2) bit is set, bounce if BOUNCE_ON_FAIL (+16) bit is set.
   • Slightly change random seed generation to fix mix of addr_rewrite and addr.
   • Fill in skipped_actions for both invalid and valid messages with IGNORE_ERROR mode that can't be sent.
   • Allow unfreeze through external messages.
   • Don't use user-provided fwd_fee and ihr_fee for internal messages.
3. A few issues with broadcasts were fixed: stop on receiving last piece, response to AdnlMessageCreateChannel
4. A number of fixes and improvements for emulator and tonlib: correct work with config_addr, not accepted externals, bounces, debug ops gas consumption, added version and c5 dump, fixed tonlib crashes
5. Added new flags and commands to the node, in particular --fast-state-serializer, getcollatoroptionsjson, setcollatoroptionsjson
