Zebra's latest beta continues implementing zero-knowledge proof and note commitment tree validation. In this release, we have finished implementing transaction header, transaction amount, and Zebra-specific NU5 validation. (NU5 mainnet validation is waiting on an `orchard` crate update, and some consensus parameter updates.)
We also fix a number of security issues that could pose a local denial of service risk, or make it easier for an attacker to make a node follow a false chain.
As of this release, Zebra will automatically download and cache the Sprout and Sapling Groth16 circuit parameters. The cache uses around 1 GB of disk space. These cached parameters are shared across all Zebra and `zcashd` instances run by the same user.

* Add draft PR template for release checklist
