v1.17.0

1.17.0 (Pre-release)

This version iterates on multiple chain sessions (introduces in the previous release) by adding advanced chain management features including chain forking, local node connectivity, and automated per-chain state persistence between VS Code restarts. The updated interface introduces a chain navigator to support the new features, events displayed in transaction output, and general UX improvements such as new input tooltips and loading indicators.
