General

• Release
  • Node version 0.9.23 is the current release - first update post-mainnet - that improves performance and adds getBlocksByHeight in all APIs RNode-0.9.23 release plan
  • Testnet is currently running rnode version 0.9.23  

  • Mainnet continues to run Release RNode-0.9.22.  Going forward, our intention is to allow sufficient time for dApp developers and validators to exercise the new release in the testnet or local environments and make sure there are no problems before we update the mainnet.  There may be exceptions to this whereby we may update the mainnet quickly after a release if the release contains critical patches for security or other urgent issues.

• Sprint 49 in progress
  
  • Main Focus: hardening the mainnet, improve performance, make usability improvements. Mainnet has been running for a little over 3 weeks with release 0.9.22.
  • Highlights of Changes included in RNode-0.9.23 release
    • getBlocksByHeight is implemented in all APIs - blockAPI, web API, grpc API. Limits the depth of blocks requested to 50.  https://github.com/rchain/rchain/pull/2899
