Overview of sprint 94
Mithril
We implemented node-to-node mini-protocols for dmq-node, see pr#5183.
The PR with node-to-client mini-protocols for dmq-node (pr#5173) is
expected to be merged soon after addressing review comments.
We started working on verification of mithril signatures in the dmq-node, see issue#5175 and issue#5176.
Cardano-Node 10.6
We also contributed configuration/tracing changes to cardano-node for its 10.6 release. See issue#6304.
TLDR
We want to simplify user experience of cardano-node for Genesis and Praos
modes: the network topology file contains bootstrap peers and genesis snapshot
file location, which are only needed in one of the modes. In some cases,
parsing shouldn't error (as it does now), but just emit a log message of the
right severity. All the corner cases are described in the issue.
Tx-Submission
The new tx-submission decision logic was merged, see issue#3311. The new
tx-submission logic was benchmarked in the ioe performance cluster. Additional
work is required to analyse its performance bottlenecks.
