Yeastplume - Progress update thread - Jan to March 2020

Update Friday, Feb 07th, 2020:

And once again, relatively quiet on the front but loads of things done in the background. Some quick highlights:

  • Biggest wallet news of the week is that the the long talked-about cli mode has finally been merged into master, ready for testing and community feedback. Note that cli mode is still very much experimental, still a bit jankesque and not 100% ready for prime time (whatever that means,). However, it doesn’t affect any existing functionality as is very much a standalone feature-add, so there’s no harm getting it in early, letting people play with it, and refining over time. If you feel like building from master go ahead and play with it, otherwise there should be a beta 3.1.0 release in a week or so.

  • Several other feature adds and bug fixes knocked off the 3.1.0 milestone list, I won’t go into each one in detail, feel free to browse.

  • Also spent a good amount of time updating the wiki’s Wallet User Guide to reflect 3.1.0 (with a bit of advance 3.1.0 thrown in). It had fallen badly out of date and several users had pointed out that it needed an overhaul.

  • And finally, a new WIP RFC on General Fund Spending Guidelines. I thought it might be a good idea to get an RFC together that clarifies how the general fund is spent. I’m sure this will spark plenty of discussion (please don’t make anyone tell anyone to keep it civil,) so will reserve further thoughts to that RFC and thread.

So that’s it for now, next week I’m going to get the last large item for 3.1.0 out of the way, address the other two outstanding issues one way or another, then hopefully have a 3.1.0 beta ready by the end of it. Hope it keeps the excitement going during this inter-fork period.

Have a weekend.
