-----------
* Major documentation restructuring and new content:
* New tutorials on how to run and use a notary service.
* Client RPC
* Kryo plugin functionality: RP
* Node explorer app: PK
* New branding
* Developer experience:
* Demo refactoring?
* Node console output now displays concise startup information, such as startup time or web address. All logging to
the console is suppressed apart from errors and flow progress tracker steps. It can be re-enabled by passing
``--log-to-console`` command line parameter. Note that the log file remains unchanged an will still contain all
log entries.

* A party is now identified by a composite key (formerly known as a "public key tree") instead of a single public key.
Read more in :ref:`composite-keys`.
