🚀 New release: Ergo protocol reference client 6.0.0-RC2 (v6.0.0-RC2)
This 6.0 release candidate is suitable for public testnet 6.0 voting and activation, and contains some fixes:
Sigma:
* Coll.distinct removed 
* v6 version of Context.getVar removed 
* Global.powHit now returns UnsignedBigInt 
* v6 version of Box.getReg is using unique method id now 
* ErgoTree based versioning for new features 
* It is prohibited to use newly supported in serialization types in context extension and registers 
Ergo:
* rule 409 (parameters matching) replaced with new rule 419, which is identical except allowing for new (unknown) parameters to be written on the blockchain
* insertion of new voteable parameter , number of subblock per block, on v6 activation
to vote for a 6.0 soft-fork, put the following flag (120 = 1) into a config file:
```
ergo{
voting {
120 = 1
}
}
```
