Feb 1, 2025February 2025 Monthly Summary for avail-light (repository: availproject/avail-light). Key features delivered: - Batching for Kate Rows RPC Requests: Added batched fetch support to reduce RPC calls and boost performance. Updated request_kate_rows to accept batched Rows and adjusted get_kate_rows accordingly. Core release notes reflect UPNP removal. - Release notes and versioning updates across the project: Consolidated release notes and version bumps across client/core with links to GitHub release tags; documented updates for 1.2.x / 1.12.x releases. - CI environment upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04: Updated GitHub Actions workflows to use Ubuntu 22.04 for standardized build and release environments. - Version bumps and dependency updates across crates: Aligned versions and dependencies across avail-light crates (bump core version, propagate to bootstrap, client, crawler, fat); refreshed Cargo.lock; updated rust-libp2p in core. Major bugs fixed: - No explicit bug fixes itemized in the provided data. The period focused on feature delivery and infrastructure improvements (batched RPCs, release tooling, and CI stabilization) which collectively reduce surface area for incidents. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved runtime efficiency through batched RPCs, lowering latency and RPC overhead for Kate Rows fetches. - Strengthened release discipline and traceability via consolidated notes and consistent versioning across components. - Enhanced build reliability and reproducibility with CI upgrade (Ubuntu 22.04) and synchronized dependency management across crates. - Established groundwork for smoother releases (availability of 1.2.x / 1.12.x branches) and easier onboarding for future changes. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Rust crate management and Cargo.lock discipline; multi-crate version alignment and dependency updates (including rust-libp2p). - CI/CD engineering (GitHub Actions), environment parity, and release engineering for multi-repo projects. - Feature-driven development with performance optimization and release hygiene.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly summary focused on expanding cross-platform client capabilities for avail-light and stabilizing core dependencies to improve performance and reliability. Key features delivered include WebAssembly support for the v2 API, enabling WASM clients to interact with the v2 API with WASM-compatible API modules and updated message handling (plus cleanup of WASM-related timers to reduce runtime overhead); Avail Light Client web environment support via Web Workers to enable web-based background processing and inter-thread communication. Major stability improvements were achieved by addressing WebRTC integration with a Tokio runtime for the libp2p-webrtc dependency (bootstrap build fix) and by removing WebRTC support from avail-light to address a memory leak and improve overall stability. These efforts, driven by a combination of feature work and targeted bug fixes, unlock broader client support, reduce memory usage, and enhance reliability in production workloads.
