???

• Split typing from rest of type checker #2630
• CCF Encoding (https://flow-foundation.slack.com/archives/C07NFGGAGHM/p1760042574265429) - overlapping with execution
  • Using CCF instead of JSON would improve performance (encoding/decoding), reduce the size of transactions, and speed up requests (send/receive less data, faster)
  • Provide version-specific presets ccf.EventsEncModeV0 and ccf.EventsEncModeV1 for encoding events in CCF format #3448
  • Standard on-chain encoding scheme for Cadence values #2165
  • Add built-in CCF contract with encode function #3638
• Math improvements
  • Upgrade [U]Fix64 to new implementation #4127
  • Support rounding modes in fixed point types #4244
  • Request for additional math functions: ln(x), log(x,b), pow(x,y), sqrt(x), exp(x) #1151
