October Tech UpdateContributions Period: October 2019Summary Core devs released a new version of Catapult, codenamed Fushicho 2. The update comes with an optimization of binary transaction layouts to maximize alignment of fields, an added transactionHash for aggregate transactions with merkle hash of embedded transactions and a few bugfixes as reported on Github.
NEM Foundation is maintaining multiple test networks for Catapult. We have executed a network reset and are planning on more tests during this month, notably some with public test networks. Stay tuned!
The NEM Developer Center is constantly being updated to integrate latest Catapult features. Find out what has been worked on by our Technical Writers.
A new version of the Command Line Interface for Catapult is now available (nem2-cliv0.13.4 3) with an update of the SDK and added persistent delegation request command.
The Block/Network Explorer (Super Explorer Framework) project has seen many contributions over the course of October and is now running on pair with the NEM Foundation Testnet for Catapult.
The Desktop Wallet project has also seen many contributions and the team is currently working on latest protocol compatibility to match our upcoming Testnet upgrade.
The Mobile Wallet project is moving along with new features such as a dashboard for pending transactions.
