## Release notes

### New features

* Merge Neurons: Adds the ability to merge the stake of a source neuron into a target neuron, age and dissolve delay are updated accordingly.
* Known Neurons: Adds the ability to submit a new type of proposal: Known Neuron. This proposal updates a list of Known Neurons to make it easier
for neuron holders to know who to follow. This update is backend governance only, a follow up update will include this functionality in the NNS
UI.
* Node Provider Rewards: Add a Governance method to return the monthly Node Provider rewards

### Improvements
* Spawn Neuron: Allow to provide a subaccount to be used in the spawned neuron, by providing the nonce that will be used to generate said subaccount.
* Wait for Quiet: Extend the proposal deadline (long), and maximum deadline extension to 96 h.
