      Approve multiple candidates with a single signature (#1191) · a84dd0db
      Alexandru Gheorghe authored 
      Initial implementation for the plan discussed here: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/701
Built on top of https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1178
v0: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/7554,

## Overall idea

When approval-voting checks a candidate and is ready to advertise the
approval, defer it in a per-relay chain block until we either have
MAX_APPROVAL_COALESCE_COUNT candidates to sign or a candidate has stayed
MAX_APPROVALS_COALESCE_TICKS in the queue, in both cases we sign what
candidates we have available.

This should allow us to reduce the number of approvals messages we have
to create/send/verify. The parameters are configurable, so we should
find some values that balance:

- Security of the network: Delaying broadcasting of an approval
shouldn't but the finality at risk and to make sure that never happens
we won't delay sending a vote if we are past 2/3 from the no-show time.
- Scalability of the network: MAX_APPROVAL_COALESCE_COUNT = 1 &
MAX_APPROVALS_COALESCE_TICKS =0, is what we have now and we know from
the measurements we did on versi, it bottlenecks
approval-distribution/approval-voting when increase significantly the
number of validators and parachains
- Block storage: In case of disputes we have to import this votes on
chain and that increase the necessary storage with
MAX_APPROVAL_COALESCE_COUNT * CandidateHash per vote. Given that
disputes are not the normal way of the network functioning and we will
limit MAX_APPROVAL_COALESCE_COUNT in the single digits numbers, this
should be good enough. Alternatively, we could try to create a better
way to store this on-chain through indirection, if that's needed.

## Other fixes:
- Fixed the fact that we were sending random assignments to
non-validators, that was wrong because those won't do anything with it
and they won't gossip it either because they do not have a grid topology
set, so we would waste the random assignments.
- Added metrics to be able to debug potential no-shows and
mis-processing of approvals/assignments.

      Changelogs local generation (#1411) · 42a3afba
      Chevdor authored 
      

This PR introduces a script and some templates to use the prdoc involved
in a release and build:
- the changelog
- a simple draft of audience documentation

Since the prdoc presence was enforced in the middle of the version
1.5.0, not all PRs did come with a `prdoc` file.
This PR creates all the missing `prdoc` files with some minimum content
allowing to properly generate the changelog.
The generated content is **not** suitable for the audience
documentation.

The audience documentation will be possible with the next version, when
all PR come with a proper `prdoc`.

## Assumptions

- the prdoc files for release `vX.Y.Z` have been moved under
`prdoc/X.Y.Z`
- the changelog requires for now for the prdoc files to contain author +
topic. Thos fields are optional.

The build script can  be called as:
```
VERSION=X.Y.Z ./scripts/release/build-changelogs.sh
```

      As suggested in this thread:
https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/runtimes/pull/87#discussion_r1400237122



We already have the `IsChildSystemParachain`, which may be used at relay
chain, but it can't be used at a parachain level. So let's use
`AllSiblingSystemParachains` for that. I was thinking about
`AllSystemParachains`, but it may cause wrong impression that it can be
used at a relay chain level.

      pallet-xcm: add new flexible `transfer_assets()` call/extrinsic (#2388) · e7651cf4
      Adrian Catangiu authored 
      # Motivation (+testing)

### Enable easy `ForeignAssets` transfers using `pallet-xcm` 

We had just previously added capabilities to teleport fees during
reserve-based transfers, but what about reserve-transferring fees when
needing to teleport some non-fee asset?

This PR aligns everything under either explicit reserve-transfer,
explicit teleport, or this new flexible `transfer_assets()` which can
mix and match as needed with fewer artificial constraints imposed to the
user.

This will enable, for example, a (non-system) parachain to teleport
their `ForeignAssets` assets to AssetHub while using DOT to pay fees.
(the assets are teleported - as foreign assets should from their owner
chain - while DOT used for fees can only be reserve-based transferred
between said parachain and AssetHub).

Added `xcm-emulator` tests for this scenario ^.

# Description

Reverts `(limited_)reserve_transfer_assets` to only allow reserve-based
transfers for all `assets` including fees.

Similarly `(limited_)teleport_assets` only allows teleports for all
`assets` including fees.
    
For complex combinations of asset transfers where assets and fees may
have different reserves or different reserve/teleport trust
configurations, users can use the newly added `transfer_assets()`
extrinsic which is more flexible in allowing more complex scenarios.

`assets` (excluding `fees`) must have same reserve location or otherwise
be teleportable to `dest`.
No limitations imposed on `fees`.

- for local reserve: transfer assets to sovereign account of destination
chain and forward a notification XCM to `dest` to mint and deposit
reserve-based assets to `beneficiary`.
- for destination reserve: burn local assets and forward a notification
to `dest` chain to withdraw the reserve assets from this chain's
sovereign account and deposit them to `beneficiary`.
- for remote reserve: burn local assets, forward XCM to reserve chain to
move reserves from this chain's SA to `dest` chain's SA, and forward
another XCM to `dest` to mint and deposit reserve-based assets to
`beneficiary`.
- for teleports: burn local assets and forward XCM to `dest` chain to
mint/teleport assets and deposit them to `beneficiary`.

## Review notes

Only around 500 lines are prod code (see `pallet_xcm/src/lib.rs`), the
rest of the PR is new tests and improving existing tests.

      Identity Deposits Relay to Parachain Migration (#1814) · c79b234b
      joe petrowski authored 
      The goal of this PR is to migrate Identity deposits from the Relay Chain
to a system parachain.

The problem I want to solve is that `IdentityOf` and `SubsOf` both store
an amount that's held in reserve as a storage deposit. When migrating to
a parachain, we can take a snapshot of the actual `IdentityInfo` and
sub-account mappings, but should migrate (off chain) the `deposit`s to
zero, since the chain (and by extension, accounts) won't have any funds
at genesis.

The good news is that we expect parachain deposits to be significantly
lower (possibly 100x) on the parachain. That is, a deposit of 21 DOT on
the Relay Chain would need 0.21 DOT on a parachain. This PR proposes to
migrate the deposits in the following way:

1. Introduces a new pallet with two extrinsics: 
- `reap_identity`: Has a configurable `ReapOrigin`, which would be set
to `EnsureSigned` on the Relay Chain (i.e. callable by anyone) and
`EnsureRoot` on the parachain (we don't want identities reaped from
there).
- `poke_deposit`: Checks what deposit the pallet holds (at genesis,
zero) and attempts to update the amount based on the calculated deposit
for storage data.
2. `reap_identity` clears all storage data for a `target` account and
unreserves their deposit.
3. A `ReapIdentityHandler` teleports the necessary DOT to the parachain
and calls `poke_deposit`. Since the parachain deposit is much lower, and
was just unreserved, we know we have enough.

One awkwardness I ran into was that the XCMv3 instruction set does not
provide a way for the system to teleport assets without a fee being
deducted on reception. Users shouldn't have to pay a fee for the system
to migrate their info to a more efficient location. So I wrote my own
program and did the `InitiateTeleport` accounting on my own to send a
program with `UnpaidExecution`. Have discussed an
`InitiateUnpaidTeleport` instruction with @franciscoaguirre . Obviously
any chain executing this would have to pass a `Barrier` for free
execution.

      pallet-xcm: enhance `reserve_transfer_assets` to support remote reserves (#1672) · 18257373
      Adrian Catangiu authored 
      ## Motivation

`pallet-xcm` is the main user-facing interface for XCM functionality,
including assets manipulation functions like `teleportAssets()` and
`reserve_transfer_assets()` calls.

While `teleportAsset()` works both ways, `reserve_transfer_assets()`
works only for sending reserve-based assets to a remote destination and
beneficiary when the reserve is the _local chain_.

## Solution

This PR enhances `pallet_xcm::(limited_)reserve_withdraw_assets` to
support transfers when reserves are other chains.
This will allow complete, **bi-directional** reserve-based asset
transfers user stories using `pallet-xcm`.

Enables following scenarios:
- transferring assets with local reserve (was previously supported iff
asset used as fee also had local reserve - now it works in all cases),
- transferring assets with reserve on destination,
- transferring assets with reserve on remote/third-party chain (iff
assets and fees have same remote reserve),
- transferring assets with reserve different than the reserve of the
asset to be used as fees - meaning can be used to transfer random asset
with local/dest reserve while using DOT for fees on all involved chains,
even if DOT local/dest reserve doesn't match asset reserve,
- transferring assets with any type of local/dest reserve while using
fees which can be teleported between involved chains.

All of the above is done by pallet inner logic without the user having
to specify which scenario/reserves/teleports/etc. The correct scenario
and corresponding XCM programs are identified, and respectively, built
automatically based on runtime configuration of trusted teleporters and
trusted reserves.

#### Current limitations:
- while `fees` and "non-fee" `assets` CAN have different reserves (or
fees CAN be teleported), the remaining "non-fee" `assets` CANNOT, among
themselves, have different reserve locations (this is also implicitly
enforced by `MAX_ASSETS_FOR_TRANSFER=2`, but this can be safely
increased in the future).
- `fees` and "non-fee" `assets` CANNOT have **different remote**
reserves (this could also be supported in the future, but adds even more
complexity while possibly not being worth it - we'll see what the future
holds).

      Contracts: Add XCM traits to interface with contracts (#2086) · 6b7be115
      PG Herveou authored 
      We are introducing a new set of `XcmController` traits (final name yet
to be determined).
These traits are implemented by `pallet-xcm` and allows other pallets,
such as `pallet_contracts`, to rely on these traits instead of tight
coupling them to `pallet-xcm`.

Using only the existing Xcm traits would mean duplicating the logic from
`pallet-xcm` in these other pallets, which we aim to avoid. Our
objective is to ensure that when these APIs are called from
`pallet-contracts`, they produce the exact same outcomes as if called
directly from `pallet-xcm`.

The other benefits is that we can also expose return values to
`pallet-contracts` instead of just calling `pallet-xcm` dispatchable and
getting a `DispatchResult` back.

See traits integration in this PR
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1248

, where the traits
are used as follow to define and implement `pallet-contracts` Config.
```rs
// Contracts config:
pub trait Config: frame_system::Config {
  // ...

  /// A type that exposes XCM APIs, allowing contracts to interact with other parachains, and
  /// execute XCM programs.
  type Xcm: xcm_executor::traits::Controller<
	  OriginFor<Self>,
	  <Self as frame_system::Config>::RuntimeCall,
	  BlockNumberFor<Self>,
  >;
}

// implementation
impl pallet_contracts::Config for Runtime {
        // ...

	type Xcm = pallet_xcm::Pallet<Self>;
}
```

> ensure through proper configuration that the new byte-based deposit is
always lower than whatever is reserved now

Not sure this is needed anymore. If the new deposits are higher than
what is currently on chain and users don't have enough funds to reserve
what is needed, the extrinisc fails and they're basically grandfathered
and frozen until they add more funds and/or make a change to their
identity. This behavior seems fine to me. Original idea
[here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1661#issuecomment-1779606319).

> add an extrinsic to rejig deposits to account for the change above

This was initially implemented but now removed from this PR in favor of

      Make `IdentityInfo` generic in `pallet-identity` (#1661) · 91851951
      georgepisaltu authored 
      Fixes #179 

# Description

This PR makes the structure containing identity information used in
`pallet-identity` generic through the pallet `Config`. Additionally, the
old structure is now available in a separate module called `simple`
(pending rename) and is compatible with the new interface.

Another change in this PR is that while the `additional` field in
`IdentityInfo` stays for backwards compatibility reasons, the associated
costs are stil present in the pallet through the `additional` function
in the `IdentityInformationProvider` interface. This function is marked
as deprecated as it is only a temporary solution to the backwards
compatibility problem we had. In short, we could have removed the
additional fields in the struct and done a migration, but we chose to
wait and do it off-chain through the genesis of the system parachain.
After we move the identity pallet to the parachain, additional fields
will be migrated into the existing fields and the `additional` key-value
store will be removed. Until that happens, this interface will provide
the necessary information to properly account for the associated costs.

Additionally, this PR fixes an unrelated issue; the `IdentityField` enum
used to represent the fields as bitflags couldn't store more than 8
fields, even though it was marked as `#[repr(u64)]`. This was because of
the `derive` implementation of `TypeInfo`, which assumed `u8` semantics.
The custom implementation of this trait in
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/commit/0105cc0396b7a53d0b290f48b1225847f6d17321


fixes the issue.

## Breaking Changes

This PR introduces a new item to `pallet_balances::Config`:

```diff
trait Config {
++    type RuntimeFreezeReasons;
}
```

This value is only used to check it against `type MaxFreeze`. A similar
check has been added for `MaxHolds` against `RuntimeHoldReasons`, which
is already given to `pallet_balances`.

In all contexts, you should pass the real `RuntimeFreezeReasons`
generated by `construct_runtime` to `type RuntimeFreezeReasons`. Passing
`()` would also work, but it would imply that the runtime uses no
freezes at all.

      `xcm`: Change `TypeInfo::path` to not include `staging` (#1948) · f3bf5c1a
      Bastian Köcher authored 
      The `xcm` crate was renamed to `staging-xcm` to be able to publish it to
crates.io as someone as squatted `xcm`. The problem with this rename is
that the `TypeInfo` includes the crate name which ultimately lands in
the metadata. The metadata is consumed by downstream users like
`polkadot-js` or people building on top of `polkadot-js`. These people
are using the entire `path` to find the type in the type registry. Thus,
their code would break as the type path would now be [`staging_xcm`,
`VersionedXcm`] instead of [`xcm`, `VersionedXcm`]. This pull request
fixes this by renaming the path segment `staging_xcm` to `xcm`.

This requires: https://github.com/paritytech/scale-info/pull/197

      Introduce XcmFeesToAccount fee manager (#1234) · 3dece311
      Keith Yeung authored 
      

Combination of paritytech/polkadot#7005, its addon PR
paritytech/polkadot#7585 and its companion paritytech/cumulus#2433.

This PR introduces a new XcmFeesToAccount struct which implements the
`FeeManager` trait, and assigns this struct as the `FeeManager` in the
XCM config for all runtimes.

The struct simply deposits all fees handled by the XCM executor to a
specified account. In all runtimes, the specified account is configured
as the treasury account.

XCM __delivery__ fees are now being introduced (unless the root origin
is sending a message to a system parachain on behalf of the originating
chain).

# Note for reviewers

Most file changes are tests that had to be modified to account for the
new fees.
Main changes are in:
- cumulus/pallets/xcmp-queue/src/lib.rs <- To make it track the delivery
fees exponential factor
- polkadot/xcm/xcm-builder/src/fee_handling.rs <- Added. Has the
FeeManager implementation
- All runtime xcm_config files <- To add the FeeManager to the XCM
configuration

# Important note

After this change, instructions that create and send a new XCM (Query*,
Report*, ExportMessage, InitiateReserveWithdraw, InitiateTeleport,
DepositReserveAsset, TransferReserveAsset, LockAsset and RequestUnlock)
will require the corresponding origin account in the origin register to
pay for transport delivery fees, and the onward message will fail to be
sent if the origin account does not have the required amount. This
delivery fee is on top of what we already collect as tx fees in
pallet-xcm and XCM BuyExecution fees!

Wallet UIs that want to expose the new delivery fee can do so using the
formula:

```
delivery_fee_factor * (base_fee + encoded_msg_len * per_byte_fee)
```

where the delivery fee factor can be obtained from the corresponding
pallet based on which transport you are using (UMP, HRMP or bridges),
the base fee is a constant, the encoded message length from the message
itself and the per byte fee is the same as the configured per byte fee
for txs (i.e. `TransactionByteFee`).
