High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team released the 2524.0 distribution. This version supports Cardano node v.10.4.1 and introduces a new Mithril client CLI command for converting UTXO-HD ledger state snapshots. It also includes various bug fixes and improvements.

The team completed the first phase of the switch to binary encodings and continued working on the second phase of the standard library refactoring. They also implemented a new command in the client CLI to verify an existing Cardano database using Mithril. Additionally, they worked on implementing the publisher and consumer for the DMQ network, using the n2c local message submission and n2c local message notification mini-protocols from the Pallas library.

Finally, they enhanced the ledger state snapshot converter in the client CLI and continued refactoring the STM cryptographic library.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team released the pre-release version of the 2524.0-pre distribution. This version supports Cardano node v.10.4.1 and introduces a new Mithril client CLI command for converting UTXO-HD ledger state snapshots. It also includes various bug fixes and improvements.

The team completed the extension of aggregator metrics to track different client types and finalized preparations to stabilize the Cardano DB v2 client commands in both the CLI and API for production use. They also worked on implementing the publisher using the n2c local message submission mini-protocol from the Pallas library for the DMQ node, and continued transitioning protocol message encoding to binary.

Finally, they refactored parts of the standard library and continued refactoring the STM cryptographic library.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team delivered support for Cardano node v.10.4.1 and UTXO-HD in the aggregator, signer, and client.

They completed the implementation of the local message submission and local message notification node-to-client mini-protocols in the Pallas library for the DMQ node. They also continued extending the aggregator metrics to record the usage of different client types. Additionally, they worked on stabilizing the Cardano DB v2 client commands in the CLI and API in the library, ensuring readiness for production use.

Finally, the team began switching the protocol message encoding to binary and continued refactoring the STM cryptographic library.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team focused on supporting Cardano node v.10.4.1 and UTXO-HD in the aggregator, signer, and client.

They continued working on the DMQ node implementation, advancing the implementation of the local message submission and local message notification node-to-client mini-protocols in the Pallas library. They also worked on extending the aggregator metrics to record the usage of different client types.

Finally, they fixed a bug in the Cardano DB v2 snapshot that prevented full restoration and continued refactoring the STM cryptographic library.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team enabled incremental certification for the Cardano node database (version 2) on the release-mainnet network.

They continued work on the DMQ node implementation, completing the signature consumer and processor in the aggregator to support continuous signature handling, and added a mechanism to record the origin of each signature. The team also began adding support for UTXO-HD in the aggregator, signer, and client.

Finally, they addressed several bugs, improved CI workflows, and continued refactoring the STM cryptographic library.
