v1.7.1-RELEASE

Breaking changes

• All boolean flags now consistently require explicitly passing a true or false value.

Feature changes

• Transaction pruning is now off by default. If you want to limit the transaction history stored on your node, please use the LOCAL_SNAPSHOTS_PRUNING_ENABLED flag.
• Nodes now time out after a --tip-selection-timeout (default 60 seconds) when performing tip selection. This is to avoid nodes stalling when tip selection is taking too long a time. You can change this using the TIP_SELECTION_TIMEOUT_SEC config to a value that works for you.
