Brief Summary

• Protocol releases are now in the Community Calendar;
• See how to run “light” NEAR node with limited CPU and RAM;
• Betanet nodes are now managed by Terraform;
• We deployed JS enclave to Testnet, see jsvm.testnet. It also supports sync calls inside the enclave;
• We now have experimental Apple M1 support;

Results
