    Don’t rely on block height for measuring time · 5ed054ba

    This is a big change that comes from the fact that time between blocks
    is not enforced by consensus in Tendermint. Besides making data
    structures more natural and the usage simpler, it allows to abandon
    creating blocks every n seconds regardless of whether there are
    transactions present or not. For this to be possible, Tendermint needs
    to stop creating blocks when the application hash changes. See
    https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/1909 for details.
    
    A testnet generator is introduced to faciliate generating of initial
    data, which is now highly dependent on time.
    
    A module which encompasses epoch-specific logic has been created.
