Weekly Dev Update #51
Hey Y’all,
This week we finished up with our Loki iOS wallet! We hope to have a release out this week, pending approval from the Apple Store.
We also began work on a version of Loki Messenger that does not use Lokinet. This means we will be able to release it much sooner, and test out the various user experience quirks.
Loki Core
Remove unused txs member in NOTIFY_RESPONSE_GET_OBJECT :

Unify and move responsibility of voting to quorum_cop :

Add fixes for iOS to master:
Restore old style hashing for non-standard TX’s so hashes match:
Loki Launcher
The Loki Launcher is a node js package that will allow for the independent management of all the components required to run a full Service Node. This includes managing Lokinet, lokid and the Loki Storage Server. When Loki Service Nodes begin to route data and store messages for Lokinet and Loki Messenger, the Loki Launcher will need to be run on every single Service Node.
Right now the Launcher is in a testing phase, so you should only use it on Testnet and Stagenet – though feedback/issues and pull requests would be greatly appreciated!
What’s going on here this week:
Right now, we’re proposing a new utility called SNBench to help with automated Lokinet testing to help measure reliability. Minor bug fixes and improvements are being made as issues are found.

What’s going on here this week:
We continue to refactor and document Lokinet. We improved our automated testing, so we’ll know more quickly if a PR has a build problem (a long wanted item). Several attempts at reliability improvements. We also attempted an 0.4.4 release, but the continued reliability discovery has delayed this.
