The team improved the gen-hydra-key node command for smoother usability and identified concrete steps to enhance network resiliency in feature items #188, #1080, and #1079. Additionally, they contributed the aiken-mode editor integration to the aiken-lang organization, updated dependencies to utilize cardano-api 8.20, and published the Hydra security advisory CVE-2023-42806 with a workaround available for users.
