Consensus Team Update

High level summary

  • Merged the alternative fs-api interface for I/O using user-supplied buffers. This feature is important because it defines lower-level primitives for the filesystem API, which opens op avenues for more use cases and more efficient I/O operations (for instance when implementing lsm-tree, which is part of our efforts to move the ledger state to disk). This feature has not been released yet.
  • Implemented new diffusion pipelining criterion .
  • Released Consensus packages containing backports for Node 8.9.1.
  • Focused on fixing the tests for ouroboros-consensus in the UTXO-HD branch. Work is ongoing.
