Dear IC Community,
we are happy to announce a new replica version that will get proposed to be elected within the next 8 hours.
Sorry for the late notice. We ran into some discussions with teams late on Friday due to the huge number of changes in this RC that blocked us from posting the commit hash earlier. In the future we will post the release notes on Friday and adapt it to whatever commit hash is ready on Monday.

* Crypto: adding accessors to public keys of canister threshold sigs
* Execution: Check invariants of the shared memory

* Various bugfixes and test updates
This RC is disabling sandboxing for all subnets. We got sufficient signals from the previous attempt to enable the canister sandboxing on all subnets and our development team is actively working on resolving the observed performance issues. We plan to enable canister sandboxing on all subnets as soon as the development team is confident that all known performance issues have been resolved.
We expect that we can rollout sandboxing to all subnets during the next few weeks in one of the upcoming releases.
