• Fix RPC typo: get_fee_rate_statics -> get_fee_rate_statistics

Highlights

• An exact search mode was added in the indexer RPC.
• A new flatmemory feature was introduced. This will be useful for developing tools like the CKB debugger.
• The VM is now thread-safe, allowing for concurrent execution of scripts.

Features

• #3927 cli: (BREAKING) Remove ckb db-repair subcommand (@zhangsoledad)

• #3772 rpc: (BREAKING) Add soft-fork deployment since info in RPC (@zhangsoledad)

  The response schema has changed in the RPC get_deployments_info and get_consensus.

• #3842: Add exact search mode (@quake)

• #3859: Add flatmemory feature for FlatMemory based machine types (@xxuejie)

  This change adds a new flatmemory feature to ckb-script, which will use FlatMemory as the memory type for
  CoreMachine/CoreMachineType. While this is not gonna be used in CKB, a FlatMemory will be quite useful in the development of surrounding tools, including ckb-debugger. Note that one option is that a debugger could maintain its own ckb-script package, but considering the fact that the change here is rather small, I would suggest we include this here feature in CKB.

• #3752: Thread-safe vm (@zhangsoledad)

Bug Fixes

• #3924 rpc: (BREAKING) Fix rpc typo: statics -> statistics (@zhangsoledad)

  The RPC method get_fee_rate_statics is deprecated, please use get_fee_rate_statistics instead.
