We are very excited to finally release 0.20.0 of Hydra with incremental commits. We continue to work on memory enhancements and other work around stability and resiliance.
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.
Returning from a well-earned break the team has merged the major part of the work on incremental commits and is now seeking feedback from the community on this feature. We continue to work on the final changes (in the spec) and continue testing the feature ourselves. We carry on with our work on the hydra-explorer and custom ledger investigations, as wel as getting into some planning for the new year.
Entering into December, with some colleagues on holidays, we are finalising our outstanding work, and continuing to support the Hydra Doom tournament. We remain focused on finishing incremental commits, and getting multiple-version support into the explorer.
These last few weeks continue on as before; almost wrapping up the incremental commit work. We are focusing on tests and soon the spec changes, which will be the last parts. We have integrated the core functionality into the TUI already, and also added a new requested feature around filtering by UTxO addresses to the websocket API. We continue on with the custom ledger experiments and wrapping up incremental commits, as well enhancing the hydra-explorer and supporting the upcoming Hydra Doom tournament!
