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
