Release v0.27.0

v0.27.0 (2024-04-19)

Note:

• Filter v1 protocol and its REST-API access have been deprecated.
• A new field of the WakuMetadataRequest protobuf for shards was introduced. The old shards field (2) will be deprecated in 2 releases time
• CLI flags --requestRateLimit and --requestRatePeriod have been added for rate limiting configuration. Period is measured in seconds. Limits are measured per protocol per period of time. Over limit will result in TOO_MANY_REQUEST (429) response.

What's Changed

Release highlights:

• Introduced configurable rate limiting for lightpush and store requests
• Sync time has been considerably reduced for node initialization
• Significant refactors were made to node initialization and WakuArchive logic as work towards C-bindings and Store V3 features
