What's new:

change the messaging system back to p2p network

fix race condition which desync nodes

Upgrade: required

Release Note:

The last major release of Lyra, version 1.1, introduces PBFTNet, which utilizes a full mesh network to exchange messages. The design has the thought of trade speed with more network resources. But when deployed, we found that this design set a high bar that makes the system not stable as we expected. The PBFTNet needs a clean/undisturbed/high throughput network environment. That's too strict requirements which not practical enough for typical node owners.

Sometime if we need to go forward, we must step backward. In this release of Lyra 1.2, we revert the messaging system to the previous P2P network, which has a much lower requirement compared to PBFTNet. We will watch the performance impact of the changes carefully. We hope that more nodes, including those who use VPN/NAT/Firewall/Filter, can participant also.
