v1.4.0

Release Notes for cheqd-node v1.4.0

This version primarily fixes the interactive installer, an off-ledger helper software for carrying out cheqd-node installations and upgrades. The installer now:

1. Attempts to create a backup of the user's configuration folder and private validator state files, when carrying out upgrades or downloading snapshots.
2. Frees up spaces by deleting the data folder when requesting a snapshot restore (only if the backup has been made).
3. Bumps Cosmovisor if necessary.
4. Set environment variables for cheqd-node as well as for Cosmovisor.
5. Separates out warning, error, info etc level messages based on success status of the action.

To enable debug level logs in case the installer fails, set an environment variable called PYTHONDEVMODE to the value 1 on your system. This will provide additional diagnostic logging that can help pinpoint errors if the installer fails.
