This week, the Mithril team released the new distribution 2506.0, which fixes a certificate chain security issue discussed in this developer blog post

The team continued implementing incremental certification of the Cardano database, completed the client library, client CLI, and monitoring, fixed bugs, and worked on unstable features. Additionally, they worked on decommissioning the testing-sanchonet Mithril network and ending support for macOS x64 pre-built binaries in the CI.

Finally, the team fixed all remaining flakiness in end-to-end tests in the CI and worked on cleaning up legacy code from the 'Thales' era.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team completed the activation of the ‘Pythagoras’ Mithril era on the mainnet, which has occurred as expected at the transition to Cardano epoch 539. They also created the pre-release for the new distribution 2506.0-pre.

The team continued implementing incremental certification of the Cardano database, working on the client library, client CLI, and WASM client. They also kept implementing monitoring and dashboarding. Additionally, they completed the dependency builder refactoring in the aggregator.

Finally, the team fixed some flakiness in end-to-end tests in the CI and prepared for sunsetting the SanchoNet network.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team created the transaction to activate the switch to the next ‘Pythagoras’ Mithril era, which will occur at the transition to Cardano epoch 539. They also started communicating the upcoming bump in the minimum version of glibc required to run Mithril pre-built binaries on Linux.

The team continued implementing incremental certification of the Cardano database, working on the client library, client CLI, and WASM client. They also began implementing monitoring and dashboarding. Additionally, they started refactoring the ‘mithril-common’ library and simplifying the dependency builder in the aggregator.

Finally, the team worked on dropping support for pre-built binaries for macOS x64 architecture and attempted to fix some flakiness in end-to-end tests in the CI.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team continued implementing the incremental certification of the Cardano database. They enhanced the implementation of artifact production and upload, worked on the implementations of the client library and the WASM client, and kept adapting the explorer. Additionally, they have been preparing for the upcoming transition to the next 'Pythagoras' Mithril era, which is scheduled to occur in the following weeks.

Finally, the team optimized the compilation times of TLS dependencies in the nodes and started to work on updating the CI pipeline runners following their deprecation.

High level overview​

This week, the Mithril team continued implementing the incremental certification of the Cardano database. They completed the cloud synchronization of artifacts, introduced enhancements and optimizations for artifact production, and adapted the explorer to accommodate these changes. Additionally, they finalized the design for splitting the mithril-common crate and re-spun the testing-sanchonet network.

Other progress includes starting work on compressing aggregator HTTP responses, fixing a bug that prevented debug logs from being produced on the nodes, and resolving an issue with Prometheus data recording in the infrastructure.
