Community topic:

After the council call and listening to the core dev call I am unsure about the status of flattening rewards.

So I have two questions:
- Is this a feature/change set to be implemented before Neo 4 by the core team?
- If the answer is yes to question 1, what is the priority of this task?

Branches. Difference between master and master-n3, what goes where and what's the expected N4 features release scheme.

Follow up of the N4 issues:

• [N4] Dynamic Block Interval #4241 by @vncoelho and @ajara87
  • They will begin by calculating the gas reward according to the time.
• [N4] Built-in Standardized Token Interfaces #4240 by @Jim8y
  • Still working on it.
• [N4] Post-Quantum Cryptography #4239 by @Wi1l-B0t
  • Create SHA3-512 and BLAKE2b-512 algorithms
• [N4] Contract Charging Mechanism #4238 by @cschuchardt88
  • The changes mentioned must be implemented.

Pending comments to be resolved:

• Fix forward-referenced contract dependencies neo-devpack-dotnet#1415
  • Jimmy will resolve the questions.
• Exec Factor with decimals #4202 (comment)
  • It will be merged asap for 3.9.

Other topics:

• Branches. Difference between master and master-n3
  • We will push all to master, when we release 3.9 we will create a branch for 3.9 there.
• NEP-25 #4043
  • NEP25 will be merged, and two issues that was find will be done in different PRs.
• Flattening rewards
  • This will be implemented in version 3.10. We agree with Erik that the gas reward should be different between N4 and N3, so we can proceed with it, as the gas formula is complex. This change will not be implemented in version 3.9, but in the next version (3.10).

Features that was included in 3.9:

• [N4] Whitelist of Free Contracts #4201
• Update native contract manifests to be NEP-25 compatible #4276

Features that was removed from 3.9:

• [Add] GetRandom(MaxValue) to StdLib Contract #3968
