Hi Community,





in order to provide some high-level transparency for the development process, this is the current task list for our core developers. They do an amazing work. Please, get them some applaud:





Come-from-Beyond

- Smart Contracts

- 1 week to finish code not related to DB

- finalize after 1.3 hits the testnet





kushti

- Voting System - ready - doing merging with latest 1.3.0 changes sometimes; tests need to be fixed because of 1.3

- 2-Phased Transactions - just started - will be submitted for peer review(with tests & better spec) 10-14 days after

- TestNxt - about to fix some issues / polish project a bit

- rollback testing

- further profiling and optimizing db queries

ChuckOne

- Understanding Nxt Feature Strategy; will delay Smart Leasing somewhat

- Smart Leasing - 1 week to finish it with an unresolved issue regarding Platform dependency (issue could be relevant to dividends as well)





Keep us posted what you are interested in.

What do you expect from the upcoming release 1.3? Remember, this release is necessary in order to provide a scalable software platform for the Nxt Protocol.



Furthermore, use this thread to post ideas and concerns.



Cheers,

Chuck.
