Unreleased
----------
Support for observer/regulator nodes has returned. Read :doc:`tutorial-observer-nodes` to learn more or examine the
interest rate swaps demo.
Release 2.0
----------
Following quickly on the heels of the release of Corda 1.0, Corda version 2.0 consolidates
a number of security updates for our dependent libraries alongside the reintroduction of the Observer node functionality.
This was absent from version 1 but based on user feedback its re-introduction removes the need for complicated "isRelevant()" checks.
In addition the fix for a small bug present in the coin selection code of V1.0 is integrated from master.
* **Version Bump**
Due to the introduction of new APIs, Corda 2.0 has a platform version of 2. This will be advertised in the network map structures
and via the versioning APIs.
* **Observer Nodes**
Adds the facility for transparent forwarding of transactions to some third party observer, such as a regulator. By having
that entity simply run an Observer node they can simply recieve a stream of digitally signed, de-duplicated reports that
can be used for reporting.
Release 1.0

Our extensive testing frameworks will continue to evolve alongside future Corda APIs. As part of our commitment to ease of use and modularity
we have introduced a new test node driver module to encapsulate all test functionality in support of building standalone node integration
tests using our DSL driver.
