High-level summary​

The last few weeks have seen us finialising a copule of things; notably our experiments into running Hydra with a custom ledger (to support, for example, a custom plutus script operation you may be interested in). We have almost wrapped up incremental commits; just finishing the spec changes. We will then focus on a release, and some features that users have been wanting for a while around memory usage and resilience.

What did the team achieve?​

  • Completed custom ledger experiment #1727, #1742, #1796
  • Restored hydra-explorer for 0.19 #12
  • Add deposit deadline command-line option #1798
  • Researched options for less-than-totaly consensus in a Hydra Head
  • Investigated resiliance to nodes offline #1780 and investigated solution #1786

What's next?​

  • Start to investigate memory usage enhancements #1618
  • Final work on incremental commits #199; namely the spec changes #12
  • Finish Hydra explorer supporting multiple versions #1282
  • Plan the 0.20.0 release
  • Continue support Hydra Doom
  • Start work on API command to clear pending transactions #1284
