General

• Sprint and next release
  • 2-week sprint started Jan. 7. Priority is platform stability, bug fixes, and feature specification.
  • RNode v0.8.2 released on Jan. 7. At a high level this release delivers bug fixes and optimizations contributing to bugs related to platform stability, expanded test coverage for Casper, and a new implementation of the metrics API to benefit debugging, reporting, and RNode operators. Please see RNode-0.8.2 release plan for more details.
• Mercury requirements and acceptance criteria
  
  • Ongoing effort to ensure completeness of feature-based user stories in the Mercury features doc (https://github.com/rchain/rchain/blob/dev/docs/features.md). We have tooling in place to show the status of the definition of the feature (Can we describe a test scenario to demo the feature?) and the status of the feature's completeness if the test is implemented. Demo of tool.
• Work with Whiteblock
  • Whiteblock team continues work to implement the RChain test plan into the testing environment (https://github.com/rchain/rchain/blob/dev/docs/whiteblock-test-plan.md). Expect to be able to see tests running in the environment today.
• Test net status
  • A public test net is not yet available. 
  • A view of the issues blocking launch of a public test net is available here.
  • Platform stability is priority #1 for most people on the team.

Rholang

• PR for the block store is in and is in review. Integration tests passing.  Work continues to improve checkpoint behavior for the blockstore.

Casper 

• Discussing Validator Incentives and Casper and implementation of cost accounting to support Mercury requirement work.
• Implementation of RhoSpec complete. This is a class that collects failures from Rholang tests and reports them as scalatest failures. This supports debuggingNext step is to complete work so we can use this with TestResultCollector in Casper tests.
• Bug investigation that looked like an issue with validator bonding, and now appears to related either to the code or the algorithm. We have a unit test to recreate the issue and investigation is underway. Plan is to try a fix to the code: changing the assertion so that all blocks are the same instead of ensuring there is only one  block in the list.
