  • Add new primitives for a default timer mechanism (#3542). These are

    setTimer : (delayNanos : Nat64, recurring : Bool, job : () -> async ()) -> (id : Nat)
    cancelTimer : (id : Nat) -> ()

    By defining a system func timer the default mechanism can now be overridden by a custom
    implementation. Additionally by supplying the command-line flag -no-timer all aspects
    of timers can be suppressed, e.g. for space- or security-sensitive purposes, thus effectively
    reverting canisters to the pre-timers era.

  • bugfix: silence bogus cascading errors in stable compatibility check (#3645).
