Namada 0.17.2 is a minor release featuring improvements to the client stability.

BUG FIXES

• Do not add address if it already exists in the wallet. (#1504)
• When processing slashes, bonds and unbonds that became active after the infraction epoch must be properly accounted in order to properly deduct stake that accounts for the precise slash amount. A bug is fixed in the procedure that properly performs this accounting. (#1520)
• Fix the message when a client is waiting for a node to sync on queries or transactions. (#1522)
• This change will enable usage of the Namada SDK to create MASP transactions from non-CLI clients. (#1524)
• Fixing how token balances are displayed in case of missing --token option. (#1528)
• The slashed token amounts contained inside the bond and unbond information returned by the PoS library fn bonds_and_unbonds are fixed and properly computed. (#1533)
• PoS: Fixed the client to change configuration to validator mode after a successful init-validator transaction. (#1549)
• PoS: fixed a check for whether a given address belongs to a validator account to work properly with newly created accounts. (#1553)
• Fixes the slash rate output in the query_slashes client command and some redundancy in misbehavior reporting logs. (#1558)

IMPROVEMENTS

• Add a command, namadac utils default-base-dir, to print the default base directory the command line would use were one not provided by the user. (#1491)
• Improve the established address in-memory representation and use a full SHA-256 digest for their generation. (#1510)
• Improve the implicit address and PKH in-memory representation. (#1512)
• Improve help message for address add command (#1514)
• PoS: make a re-usable bonds and unbonds details query. (#1518)
