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.
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.

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.
