  • Medha
    • Final push to Node 6 release.  Team is focusing on stability, performance and robustness of the system.
    • Bugs are the highest priority for resolution.
    • I need to do triage to check for duplicates and set priority.  If you come across a bug and want to file it, please check that no one else has reported the issue: Dashboard
    • Sharding and Economics are not ready, these will be part of Node 7
    • Great progress during node testing this week.  We had 32 peers connected, 60 attendees on the call.  
  • Rholang team:
    • Output of ETH script to scrape RHOC balances provided for internal review.  We will be demonstrating the RHOC/Rev swap as part of test net launch.
    • Registry is in implementation.  We will support UUID's and public keys only. 
    • Plan on compressing block data before sending (helps with 4 MB protobuf limitation)
    • Block approval protocol for genesis block is in progress, expect completion this week. 
    • API to fetch data complete
    • Fixed RHOL-591 - untraced comm event, confirmed the issue is fixed.
    • Cross Shard contracts in review.  These contracts are still unfinished.
    • Unbonding contract in review.
    • Implementing Error handling in Casper.
  • Storage/Node team:
    • Keith and Alex joined the Node team this sprint.
    • Discovered 4 MB limit in gRPC when showing blocks.  Node team is investigating
    • Performance harness complete.  Medha to perform UAT on the system.
    • Created Thin gRPC client in Scala for gatling which will be faster and thinner than the rNode client done, for performance testing.
    • New communications layer is working, tested during the node-testing session.
    • Issues discovered around system shutdown, these are being investigated.
    • Building gRPC Client API for client data retrieval
    • Building bootstrap node monitoring and paging system.
    • Improving memory monitoring metrics.
  • Roscala: 
    • Discovered an issue with non-deterministic behavior inherent in the parallelism.  The wait quiescent function which we thought we could use it to wait- but it turned out that the fork-join pool framework in Java doesn't really support that.  A solution has been identified, Alex has worked around it.  Fix is on its way.  There is some clean up of the code that needs to happen first.
      • Clean up of the code & implementation for the fix is still in progress.  ETA end of week.
