Weekly Dev Meeting - Finalizing Peer Connections and Preparing for Alpha Release

September 14, 2024

Just a brief update this week as we work towards the alpha release.

Gateway Connection Handling

After a few more fixes, connections with gateways are now handled smoothly. Although transport may still fail sporadically, we now appropriately retry connections, which resolves many of the previous issues.

Regular Peer Connections

Regular peers can now connect with each other! While there is still some weirdness that we are investigating, the connections are finally working as expected.

Upcoming Plans

These changes are looking good for merging into the main branch soon. Once merged, we’ll start cleaning things up in preparation for an upcoming release.
