Release `2447` distribution

[jpraynaud]

Why

In order to deploy new features, improvements and bug fixes, we need to release a new distribution.

What

Create and release a new distribution 2447

[!IMPORTANT]

• [ ] 🔥 Announce breaking change in clients
• [ ] 🔥 recompute certificate chain
  • [ ] in pre-release-preview
  • [ ] in release-preprod
  • [ ] in release-mainnet
• [ ] Activate Cardano stake distribution certification:
  • [ ] in release-mainnet

Distribution +1:

[!NOTE]

• TBD

How

Phase 1: Prepare distribution

• [ ] Run a backward compatibility test in the CI
• [ ] Upgrade repository dependencies (with runbook)
• [ ] Check that all minor versions of all crates have been bumped for breaking change (if needed)
• [ ] Check if versions of repository linked crates are correct for publication to crates.io(mithril-common, mithril-client)
• [ ] Check if Cardano minimum supported versions in networks.json must be updated following the runbook
• [ ] Merge a PR for rotating the CHANGELOG.md (set the distribution version)
• [ ] Create a draft PR for rotating the documentation

Phase 2: Rollout pre-release distribution

• [ ] Tag and deploy a 2447.0-pre pre-release distribution on the pre-release-preview network
• [ ] Fill highlights, distributions compatibility and release notes sections in the pre-release page on GitHub
• [ ] Recompute the certificate chain of pre-release-preview
• [ ] Make sure pre-release-preview is working as expected
• [ ] Make sure libraries version next have been published on npm registry
• [ ] Run an all green client multi-platform test in the CI
• [ ] Run an all green aggregator stress test in the CI
• [ ] Run a Cardano transaction prover benchmark:
  • [ ] Store results in the issue
  • [ ] Make sure that there is no performance drop since last release
• [ ] Announce the pre-release on discord channel
• [ ] Announce any breaking change in:
  • [ ] #cardano-scaling slack channel for pre-release
  • [ ] #mithril-lace slack channel for pre-release
  • [ ] #blockfrost-scaling slack channel for pre-release
  • [ ] Cardano Foundation IBC bridge team
• [ ] Wait for at least 3 signers running the new version (could be more if era change is tested) over at least 2 epochs

Phase 3: Rollout release distribution

• [ ] Tag and deploy a 2447.0 release distribution on the pre-release-preview network
• [ ] Fill highlights, distributions compatibility and release notes sections in the release page on GitHub
• [ ] Make sure pre-release-preview is working as expected
• [ ] Update networks compatibility table in release notes
• [ ] Release the 2447.0 distribution
• [ ] Recompute the certificate chain of release-mainnet
• [ ] Make sure release-mainnet is working as expected
• [ ] Recompute the certificate chain of release-preprod
• [ ] Make sure release-preprod is working as expected
• [ ] Make sure libraries have been published on crates.io
• [ ] Make sure libraries version latest have been published on npm registry
• [ ] Merge the PR for rotating the documentation
• [ ] Merge a PR for rotating the CHANGELOG.md (updating the release date of the distribution)
• [ ] Announce the release on discord channel (with breaking-change, upcoming features activation, ...)
• [ ] Announce any breaking/new feature change in:
  • [ ] #cardano-scaling slack channel for release
  • [ ] #mithril-lace slack channel for release
  • [ ] #blockfrost-scaling slack channel for release
  • [ ] Cardano Foundation IBC bridge team
• [ ] Dev blog post:
  • [ ] Enhanced explorer status?
  • [ ] TBD

Phase 4: Activate features

• [ ] Cardano stake distribution:
  • [ ] When signer release >= 0.2.182 (2437.1) is run by > 95% of the stake (within 2 weeks, or abort),
  • [ ] Activate the certification of Cardano stake distribution in release-mainnet
  • [ ] Restart the release-mainnet deployment in the CI
  • [ ] Make sure release-mainnet is working as expected
  • [ ] Announce the release on discord channel
  • [ ] Dev blog post: Activation of Cardano stake distribution in release-mainnet
