is a major Fortuna release, mainly aimed at easing development of applications using state channels in the presence of generic accounts. It:
Introduces State Channel FSM Generalized Accounts awareness. It now fully supports creation of meta transactions and verifies them.
Changes WebSocket API regarding signing transactions: now sign requests provide a signed transaction to be signed. Old approach was sending unsigned transactions.
Changes channel reestablish checks: for on-chain transactions authentication can not always be checked at current chain top. Check is done, if the last transaction is an on-chain one, it must be present in on-chain.
Changes the off-chain protocol to accommodate Generalized Account authentication methods. This is off-chain noise protocol breaking change.
Enhances the state Channels WebSocket API, that now supports starting a responder with "initiator_id": "any".
The responder instance will get the proper initiator Id from the channel_open message once a
connection is established.
Enables multiple different State Channel responder pubkeys to share the same listen port.
Changes the channel_open and channel_accept messages to contain both the initiator and
responder public keys. This is not backwards compatible for the noise protocol.
Enhances State Channel's WebSocket API with providing more meaningful messages when failing to open a channel because of invalid opening arguments.
Makes State Channel WebSocket API more consistent regarding the usage ofcaller and contract vs caller_id and contract_id. This is an API
breaking change.
Allows sending and receiving generic messages in State Channels in any FSM
state. Until this - generic messages were allowed only in open state.channel_id is part of the message body and if it is unknown - the
temporary one is used instead. This is not backwards compatible for thenoise protocol. This enhances the WebSocket API accordingly.
Fixes the value of the discriminator field (type) for the oracle response transaction in the user API paths returning transactions (e.g. path /transactions/{hash}).
Enhances the response of the dry-run API (path /debug/transactions/dry-run) for contract create transaction by adding the information for the call of the initialization function e.g. the gas used. This makes the response of the dry-run for the contract create transaction analogous to the one for the contract call transaction.
This release introduces backward incompatibilities in the channels user WebSocket API and in the channels external Noise endpoint protocol.
For the rest, this release is backward compatible with previous v3.* releases.

You can run a node by either:
The node user API is documented:
A JSON version of the same specification is located in the node at path lib/aehttp-*/priv/swagger.json (you will need to amend the wildcard * placeholder in the path with the version).
The JSON version can be obtained from a running node using the endpoint /api.
The release package comes preconfigured with seed nodes. Here is example subset of the seed nodes:
