    • Several bugs were reproduced during node testing on Tuesday. Root issue is that justifications were not matching bonded validators.  Suspect that this caused the Clique safey Oracle failure - RHOL-917 as well as RHOL-1024.
    • We are hoping to re-test on Thursday.
  •  Rholang team:
    • Peek is designed. Now waiting for RSpace implementation
    • Stack safety of serialization in interpreter merged.
    • Interpolation in Rholang implemented
    • Short leash deploy implementation continues, on track for this sprint.
  • Casper team 
    • Most of the contracts have ported to remove the use of unforgeable names, K/N contract remains.
    • Time on the blockchain has been implemented in Rholang
    • Team is focusing on some non-deterministic bugs that are affecting stability.  We are optimistic that the recent fix from Michael Birch will address the root cause.
  • Node team 
    • Discussions and changes in the comm layer to support improvements in threading and chunking
    • Continued implementation on a web interface for dApp developers.  This interface will ultimately support deployment, estimation of costs, creation of unforgeable names ( for the purposes of data retrieval/ listening on a name) and obtaining data from the chain. 
    • Hardening the node shutdown process
    • Supporting issues found in community testing
  • Storage team
    • Removal of syncVar variables showing significant improvements in performance - continue to pursue this tactic.
    • Completed initial work to support separate thread pool for RSpace.
    • Creating benchmarks and tests to measure performance gains and identify opportunities for further optimizations.
    • Investigating differences between propose and replay performance.
    • Continued the investigation of genesis block performance.
  • SRE team 
    • Continue to support the re-launch of test net.  
    • Performance testing of the code - supporting the RSpace team in their efforts.
    • Addressing failed integration tests.
    • Work on ELK to support collection and analysis of log data.  
    • Moving RSong into Continuous Integration.
    • Implementation of benchmarks, metrics and performance tests.
  • RChain test net
    • We continue work to resolve bugs blocking a functional and sustainable test net. We plan to run a supplemental community test on Nov. 1 at 14:00 UTC to test a new fix.
  • Incentivized testnet
    • Program is ready to launch pending confirmation of budget and assurance of a performant test net.
