Hey everyone!

Welcome to Weekly Update 114. For this update, we’ll be focusing on the recent Release Candidates and focusing on the development within them. Let’s dive in!

​

Raiden v0.200.0-rc7 - “Starcraft2”

Last week the Raiden dev team introduced a new release candidate for the upcoming Alderaan mainnet release.

Code-named Starcraft2, the new release candidate brings fixes for several bugs discovered in the last couple of weeks, along with minor improvements to the user interface. Furthermore, the new release candidate enables the development team to continue with the test plan.

In regards to the release candidates, you can find the executables for Linux and macOS on the release page. If you’re interested in trying it yourself and have any questions on how to get started then leave a comment and we will give our best to help you!

Development progress

Executing the test plan on the Ethereum mainnet and investigating bugs discovered in the process was in the focus during the last week. Several bugs were discovered during testing. Development team prioritized investigating them and good news is that they successfully identified their source. Pull requests with fixes should be ready for the review soon.

Developers working on the light client worked on expanding SDK with new features. Currently, light client SDK only supports sending payments. In recent weeks significant progress was made towards implementing full support for receiving payments and handling of mediated transfers.

Conclusion

To wrap up this Weekly Update, the team has been mostly all hand on deck focusing on the release candidates of this week along with mainnet testing. Assuming no significant issues are found we could expect to see this most recent RC progress into a mainnet release.
