RNode-0.9.3 release plan

Release summary

RNode v0.9.3 adds a new configuration parameter to RNode. In order to support operation of multiple networks running RChain platform and to prevent cross-network communication, we introduce --network-id to the RNode configuration. By default, RNode is set to connect to the RChain public testnet. If however, you want to run a private network, you should make the adjustment in the configuration file.

Other work in this release include:

• A bug fix and test improvements for consensus
• Improvements in the communications layer that improve peering and streaming to peers

You may also note there is completed work in this release related to changes planned for RSpace. This work is foundational and not yet functional on the platform.
