Hey everyone!

Welcome to weekly update 167. This week we will update you on the latest in the development progress towards the Bespin Raiden client release and the mainnet release of the Raiden light client. Let’s dig in!

​

Development progress

The developers working on the Raiden client are preparing the alpha Bespin release. The alpha release is a complete representation of the Bespin release and will be used for testing. The testing phase already started some time ago and the development team is quite happy with the results. Currently, there aren’t any issues discovered and the current version is passing all the automatic tests. We can expect to see the final rollout of the alpha very soon.

In the light client repository the development team is working on smaller bug fixes and is preparing the codebase for mobile versions (Android and IOS). Furthermore, changes in handling of presence information from the Matrix transport layer will also be introduced in the light client.

Conclusion

This is all for this week. The Matrix refactoring is completed and the release of alpha Bespin is expected very soon. The latest testnet release of the light client is also stable and looks like a suitable candidate for the mainnet release. For any additional questions or comments leave a comment and we will try to provide you with an answer.
