Release v0.26.0

v0.26.0 (2024-03-07)

Note:

• JSON-RPC API has been removed completely. Instead we recommend you to utilize REST API endpoints that have same and extended functionality.
  Please have a look at Waku's REST-API reference: https://waku-org.github.io/waku-rest-api
• Support for Cross-Origin-Resource-Sharing (CORS headers) is added for our REST-API services. This allows you to access our REST-API from a browser.
  New repeatable CLI flag is added by this feature:
  --rest-allow-origin="example.com" or --rest-allow-origin="127.0.0.0:*"
  Flag allows using wildcards (* and ?) in the origin string.
• Store protocol now has a better support for controlling DB size of Postgres store. This feature needs no user action.

Announcement:

Please notice that from the next release (0.27.0) we will deprecate features.

• We will decomission the Filter v1 protocol and its REST-API access.
