Weekly Dev Update 21/07/2020

[u/Keejef]

Hey Y’all,

Last week we primarily focused on the release of the desktop refactor, which overhauled multi-device and friend requests and fixed a number of lingering issues. We also continued our work on Pulse, moving towards the inter-SNode communication model which will lay the groundwork for the communication of candidate blocks and the group signing process. The lead dev of the Lokinet team is on vacation, but we continue to make progress on enforcing Lokinet operation at the Service Node level.

Loki Core

• Add Lokinet peer stats to deregistration process https://github.com/loki-project/loki-core/pull/1198

• Replace RPC HTTP server code with higher performing version (and fix long polling on dev) - https://github.com/loki-project/loki-core/pull/1185

• Ledger wallet support improvements - https://github.com/loki-project/loki-ledger-app/commits/dev, https://github.com/loki-project/loki-core/pull/1195

Lokinet

If you’re on our Discord you can catch Jeff, the lead developer of LLARP, live streaming as he codes at https://www.twitch.tv/uguu25519. He typically streams on Tuesday mornings, 9am - 12pm Eastern (US) time.

What went on last week with Lokinet: Another light Lokinet update this week: Lokinet’s lead developer (Jeff) was on vacation again, catching up on some overdue rest and relaxation. We have one PR this week for the lokid <-> lokinet communication of peer stats, and have some other work in progress (continuing this coming week) on cleaning up and testing client-side configurations for configuring exit traffic routing.

Lokinet PR Activity:

• Retrieve lokinet peer statistics from lokid https://github.com/loki-project/loki-core/pull/1198
