Weekly Development Report

DAEDALUS

Wallet

This week the team finished Flow.js setup improvements. All the code is now properly flow-typed which will ease future development and improve overall stability and robustness of the application. In the scope of the QA process for the upcoming Daedalus 0.12.0 release, the team has identified Windows-specific issues with the IPC-driven Cardano node / Daedalus communication. The issues were successfully resolved and the application now runs smoothly on all of the supported platforms. The team is working on adding test coverage for the IPC-driven Cardano node / Daedalus communication based on the Cardano node fault injection features which were completed last week.

App Platform

This week the Cardano GraphQL module was moved into a separate git repository, further positioning it as a standalone service that can also be consumed as a remote schema. Improvements were made to handle TLS provisioning after startup, and a docker-compose.yml configured to orchestrate the development environment along with a Cardano demo cluster. These changes align the service with the latest approach of only holding keys in memory, after being provisioned by the Cardano edge node via IPC. Work was started on integrating access control into the GraphQL calls based on user permissions.

WALLET BACKEND

Last week the team continued testing per the release cycle and new features will be released with release 2.0. A performance issue was found in QA, but it was addressed and fixed.
