* Execution: feat: Allow usage of specified canister Ids allocation range through ic-starter
* Execution: feat: Enable cycles cost scaling
* Execution: feat: Modify method provisional_create_canister_with_cycles to accept canister ID
* Execution: feat: prettify printing cycles with underscore thousands separator
* Execution: fix: prevent cycles overflow when scaling costs
* Message Routing: Enable timing out requests
* Message Routing: Force removal of diverged state, even if it is the last one
* Message Routing: Load all checkpoints on startup
* Message Routing: fix: Cache state sync chunk groups correctly
* Networking: [H2 Migration] Read message duration bug fix
* Networking: chore: fix rps_max type in json [benchmark]
* Networking: chore: remove the SerializeAs associated type of ArtifactKind
* Networking: feat:[H2] Optimize poll-capacity logic to send only whatever is available
* Networking: fix: Btc adapter should always prune block below anchor
* Networking: fix: Max artifact timeout

* Networking: fix: when fetching root delegation do it over TLS
* Node: Add sanity checks to upgrade tests

What does this rate limiting apply to? What is drun?

:tada: :tada:

Also can you elaborate on what the cycles cost scaling feature is and what the fix was :point_down:

Are there GitHub commit hashes associated with each of these features?

drun is a tool that can be used to run a single-node instance of the IC. Similar to what dfx is doing, but simpler. It’s used by the Motoko team for development/testing.

Cost scaling feature means that the bigger subnets (i.e. subnet with more nodes) will cost more than smaller subnets. The scaling of the cost is linear with the subnet size. So running on a (fictional) 26 node subnet would cost 2x more than running on a 13 node subnet.

There are GitHub commit hashes, of course. If you click on the new IC release link above, it takes you to the github tree and a list of commits Commits · dfinity/ic · GitHub from where with a bit of search you can find:
