This release, which necessitated a protocol upgrade, comes with a host of enhancements, including a reduction in round time of approximately 0.4 seconds and numerous developer-friendly features. A significant change in this update is the requirement for assets or applications within a contract to have an ID greater than 256, a move that eliminates opcode ambiguity​​.
