Aleph-vm 0.4.0 alpha3

Thanks to your feedback, we are happy to announce this bugfix release that improves the future of our computing platform !

ℹ️ alpha release: This new release introduces many new features that we would like to share with the community as soon as possible, but may not be rock solid yet. Community feedback on early releases is very important to us, especially with a large and diverse ecosystem of nodes.

Improvements and New Features

While aleph.im stives to be compatible with all Linux systems and distributions, we provide two officially supported runtimes: The latest based on Debian 12, and the legacy based on Debian 11. The legacy runtime is used by the metrics and some operators, who faced issues with that runtime not working, had no easy way to visualize this information.

This release improves the diagnostic page by displaying the status check for both runtimes.
