Hey Everyone,
We’ve got some news to share! Over the past two weeks, we’ve been working on new features and improvements. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s new:
Weeks 27-28 (1 July - 12 June)
Hans Svensson
HyperChains. We have started HyperChains work post the DevMeetup. The first step was to improve the running HC prototype. It often got stuck trying to sync an existing child chain due to issues in the parent chain cache. By adding logic to pre-fetch the parent chain properly, stability has improved.
Chain Rollback Fix. Investigated and solved a reported issue with chain rollback. It was initially reported for dev mode but turned out to be an actual rollback issue with the now-default direct DB access mode. The fix was trivial, but finding the problem involved quite a bit of troubleshooting.
Valentin Atanasov
Some additional fields to dex endpoints and to account activities endpoint 1 2 have been added.
Mihail Dobrev
Removed the update names mutation and incorporated the count logic inside the other mutations that changed it. Updated the tests to reflect the new changes and added new tests for the old mutations. Added missing mutations in profile sync.
We have made the aex-n endpoints search case insensitive.
Justin Mitchell
We have started implementing epochs for hyperchains as described in the hyperchains whitepaper.
We have delivered an initial version of epochs as a proof of concept.
Dincho Todorov
We rolled out freshly updated AMI images to all nodes due to an Ubuntu SSH CVE. We researched and planned an ECR migration, created ECR repos and configurations for all aepps running in the app cluster, and added ECR support to the organization’s GitHub actions. We also migrated aepp-governance to use proper GitHub actions, partially migrated aepps to publish ECR images and partially migrated aepps helm charts and deployments (3 environments) to use ECR images.

aeREPL web. Released version 5.0.0 of the web interface. Fixed crashes on loading contracts that didn’t typecheck/parse, fixed crashes on some invalid prompts, ensured all endpoints returned some sort of reply (no more “casts”), documented the API, and provided examples.
Sophia Compiler Rewrite. Uncountable minor fixes to the parser and tree-sitter grammar. Connected all dots in the compilation pipeline to successfully compile a deployable contract! Compiled a simple contract in pure WASM. Implemented a configurable pretty-printer. and used it to create a simple WASM app to format Sophia code. Increased coverage of Sophia constructions in the parser, typechecker, and FATE code generator. Various optimizations of generated FATE and intermediate representation.
Sophia extension for VS Code. “goto definition” for some basic cases has been implemented and (yet useless) calls to the typechecker by the editor.
Moreover, added type errors, prevent panics during type checking, moved more tests from the old Erlang compiler and made the right changes to make them work in the new compiler
Thanks for your support! Let us know what you think in the comments.
