1.11 Release - Mainnet

Dear Mainnet Validators,

We've released the 1.11.5 binaries!

For a complete list of changes, check out the Changelog.

Some highlights:

• Support for Oracle Swaps: Engines now witness Chainlink price oracles to provide the network with reference prices for safer swap execution.
• Improved Bitcoin fee estimation: this should result in more reliable transaction egresses, both for swaps and liquidity withdrawals.
• Polkadot Deprecation: All Polkadot assets will be migrated to the Assethub Parachain and support for the Polkadot relay chain will be phased out. NOTE: Node operators are still required to maintain functional Polkadot relay chain rpc endpoints until support is fully removed in a future release.
• CCM Refund parameters: It’s now possible to attach cross-chain messages to swap refund parameters. This enables more complex integrations.
• Support for Delegated Staking. Validator accounts can now be linked to a dedicated Operator account which can receive and distribute delegated FLIP to increase auction bids.
• DCA Swaps now support 1-block intervals.
