Igor Matuszewski 028f3d2674 Merge 2.0.1 backport branch into mainline master (#7842)
* Backport paritytech/substrate#7381

* Bring back genesis storage build in aura/timestamp

To not change spec version, see
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/7686#discussion_r540032743

* Backport paritytech/substrate#7238

* Backport paritytech/substrate#7395

* Bump impl_version

* Fix UI tests and bump trybuild dep

See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/73996

Backports:
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/7764
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/7656

* Partially backport paritytech/substrate#7838

* Release frame-support with a dep compilation fix

* Bump patch level for remaining crates

This is done because at the time of writing cargo-unleash does not fully
support partial workspace publishing and mixes both local and crates.io
versions of the packages, leading to errors in the release check workflow.

* Backport paritytech/substrate#7854

...to fix compilation error when using futures-* v0.3.9.

* Adding Changelog  entry for patch release

Randomness Module

The Randomness Collective Flip module provides a random function that generates low-influence random values based on the block hashes from the previous 81 blocks. Low-influence randomness can be useful when defending against relatively weak adversaries. Using this pallet as a randomness source is advisable primarily in low-security situations like testing.

Public Functions

See the Module struct for details of publicly available functions.

Usage

Prerequisites

Import the Randomness Collective Flip module and derive your module's configuration trait from the system trait.

Example - Get random seed for the current block

use frame_support::{decl_module, dispatch, traits::Randomness};

pub trait Config: frame_system::Config {}

decl_module! {
	pub struct Module<T: Config> for enum Call where origin: T::Origin {
		#[weight = 0]
		pub fn random_module_example(origin) -> dispatch::DispatchResult {
			let _random_value = <pallet_randomness_collective_flip::Module<T>>::random(&b"my context"[..]);
			Ok(())
		}
	}
}
