Compiler team:

• Evaluator being integrated in preparation for release

• DeBrujin indicies implemented.

• Updates made to Sharding and RChain state documents

Node team:

• Storage - Continued progress in preparation for our release.

• Public and private key generation on node startup

• Storing of keys, and streamlining handshake process with 'previously known nodes'

Rosette team: 

• RBL Compiler - start testing splitting out the C++ compiler

  • We can force it into a late lookup, but then as executing the VM reports that it is looking for a run time binding of a symbol.

  • The symbols need to be added by the compiler.  We need to add more environment information within the objects that the compiler creates.

• Will need to port to 64 bits as well.

• Progress made on OpCodes, support for Primitives that mutate VM state

  • Once the primitive support is in, we plan to release more bounties.

• No timeline as yet on VM Completion
