Key features delivered: - COUNT_CHECKDATASIG_OP Activation Configuration: defined activation blocks, start/timeout heights, versioning and signaling defaults across mainnet, testnet, and testnet_hotel. - Testnet Environment Management and RC Configs: default testnet changed to testnet-hotel; added testnet-golf; updated verification checkpoints; introduced SOFT_VOIDED_TX_IDS for RC workflows. - Feature Activation Timing Adjustment: extended activation window from 6 to 10 weeks post start height across Python and YAML. - NanoContract Core Data Model Enhancements: added caller ID, last bet address, last vertex ID, contract ID; improved immutability model and JSON serialization. - Security and Robustness Improvements: upgraded internal storage hashing to SHA-256; addressed StopIteration leak in Method.from_callable. - Release Versioning Improvements: bumped to 0.65.x; expanded version regex to allow alpha/beta tags; added tests for version formats. - Incompatible Storage Migration Handling: introduced migration script to prevent use of outdated nanocontract storage and guide resync. Major bugs fixed: - Regression when changing the default testnet addressed (testnet-default toggle regression). - StopIteration leakage and related robustness issues resolved. - Migration guidance for incompatible storage implemented to minimize user disruption during RC transitions. Overall impact and accomplishments: - RC readiness and feature activation discipline established to support safe, predictable releases. - Improved testnet reliability and RC workflow through explicit configurations and flags. - Strengthened core security and data model robustness for NanoContract usage. - Clear upgrade path via storage migration handling, reducing user confusion and resync costs.

Aug 1, 2024In August 2024, Hathor Core delivered two key features and refactors that simplify the codebase, improve P2P reliability, and reduce maintenance overhead. We removed deprecated Sync-v1, consolidating to Sync-v2 across codebase (builder/CLI updates and tests adjusted). We overhauled P2P peer management by moving received peers storage to the protocol layer, adding an auto-connect loop, and enforcing a peer limit. These changes reduce surface area, improve resource management, and support faster release cycles. Skills demonstrated include protocol-layer design, refactoring, and disciplined test management.
