Brief Summary

near-sdk-rs v4.0.0 has been released which significantly simplified our cross-contract API that not only improved our DevX but will also unblock more aggressive changes on the protocol side, like paying for gas with tokens. It has also removed near-sdk-sim which is an important step for full adoption of workspaces-rs/js.
Checkout this RS SDK migration doc that will assist you with migrating from 3.1.0 to 4.0.0
A new tutorial was published on building an NFT indexer and explains the events format.
