The
Session
actor includes logic that tells block candidates and inventory request responses apart by checking if the hash of the received block matches that of a former inventory request.That was breaking synchronization for the case where a protocol change happened in the middle of a synchronization chunk.
This PR acts by first checking versioned hashes first for the incumbent protocol version, and if it can't find it, it also checks it for the first upcoming protocol.
