v0.44

[p-shahi]

🗺 What's left for release

• Releasing to update quic-go

Deferred:

• introduce a proper address pipeline #2229 items
  • Separate address service in to its own package #3299
  • Introduce AppendAnnounce for address hints. #3300
  • move observed addr manager to new package #3302
• Clean up references to WebRTC and WebTransport in basichost (which leads to users unnecessarily importing deps like pion)
• Improve resource manager observability #3197
• feat(simlibp2p): Simulated libp2p Networks #3262
• swarm: dial DNS addresses in parallel with IP addresses #2292
• WebTransport WASM support #3285
• Make go-libp2p compile to WASM #3281

🔦 Highlights

Address Pipeline:

• Observed Address Manager has been moved out of identify to its own package, github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p/p2p/host/obsaddrs
• Identify Service doesn't support the DisableObservedAddrManager Option. The top level libp2p option DisableIdentifyAddressDiscovery works as it used to.

  • Update the upstream dependencies to the final release and create PRs.
