Protocol Release

Algorand Indexer v3.4.0 and Conduit v1.6.0 released for go-algorand 3.21 upgrade

The Algorand Indexer was updated to version 3.4.0 and Conduit to version 1.6.0 to support the go-algorand 3.21 consensus upgrade. Both updates are required for network runners to maintain connectivity once that upgrade takes effect.

The Indexer is the tool that reads and serves data from the Algorand blockchain, and Conduit is the pipeline that moves data between components. The version 3.21 upgrade of go-algorand is the consensus-layer change these tools need to match.
