Bespin - Shinny

This is an alpha release of the next major version of the Python client for the Raiden Network.
Don't run it on mainnet!

A lot of work on the transport layer as well as the services went into this release. To improve performance and reliability on the transport layer it was necessary to implement some backwards incompatible changes.

Backwards compatibility status:

• v2.x clients WILL NOT be compatible with and not be able to perform transfers with any earlier versions
• However EXISTING CHANNELS WILL REMAIN COMPATIBLE.
  Channels opened with older versions will be retained. This means once both clients participating in an existing channel are updated they will be able to continue to use the existing channel.
  You DO NOT NEED to close and re-open existing channels.

Change log:

• #6851 Raiden does not use Matrix rooms anymore. This greatly reduces the load on the matrix servers and increases the reliability of the transport layer.
• #6898 Add support for Geth 1.10.
• #6947 Add support for Python 3.9.
• #6821 API endpoint for UserDeposit contract deposits/withdraws
• #6763 Ensure that pending messages are sent before Raiden is stopped
• #6563 Faster syncing with the blockchain.
• Update WebUI to version 1.1.1 <https://github.com/raiden-network/webui/releases/tag/v1.1.1>_. Which introduces a new "Quick Connect" that is simpler and more transparent than the old "join token network" feature.
• #4730 Remove "join token network" feature from API. Explicitly create and fund channels, instead.
• #6582 Add /settings endpoint with information about the used pathfinding service.
• #6657 Support for recent geth versions.
• #6541 Remove internal routing.

We are excited to announce that the Raiden Network Alderaan release is live on the Ethereum mainnet. The Alderaan release is the first full suite version of Raiden and it introduces a bunch of exciting new features including monitoring services, pathfinding services and mediation fees, compared to the Red Eyes release. As this release still has its limitations and is a beta release, it is crucial to read the announcement post including the security notes carefully before using the software.
