Friends,<\/p>\n

Over the last year, developers and researchers supported by Ethereum Foundation have kept their heads down and continued to produce at a staggering pace.<\/p>\n

Their focus has remained on their work, and together we’re all building a more complete Ethereum. Today, our regular all-team update series is relaunching in a changed and ever growing ecosystem. Ethereum features larger dApp, developer and user communities than ever before, the network has continued to improve, and steady progress has been made on initiatives large and small.<\/p>\n

While many teams do release their own well-rounded updates, we thought it appropriate to bring the community the latest from many of the teams (some of whom are softer spoken) supported by the Foundation. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

<\/g><\/svg><\/a>Aleth \/ C++ Ethereum<\/h2>\n

In preparation for the Constantinople \/ Petersburg upgrade Aleth had a number releases – starting from 1.5.x series and ending with the latest 1.6.0<\/a>. Aleth received a lot of p2p network level improvements including a standalone devp2p discovery client called aleth-bootnode, and is compatible with the latest Ethereum revision.<\/p>\n

Changelog: https:\/\/github.com\/ethereum\/aleth\/blob\/master\/CHANGELOG.md<\/a><\/p>\n

The EVMC project continues to advance by receiving new language bindings and other improvements while remaining ABI compatible with version 6.<\/p>\n

FInally, the ethash library (https:\/\/github.com\/chfast\/ethash<\/a>) has received ProgPoW support and some integration fixes and improvements.<\/p>\n

<\/g><\/svg><\/a>DevOps<\/h2>\n

There are five main areas where devops resources are used: Websites, Bootnodes, Geth, Swarm, and Testing. Devops continues to improve our process for deploying infrastructure, mainly with Ansible and Terraform but also with Kubernetes. We are also doing a better job documenting and tracking how infrastructure is used by all of the development teams.<\/p>\n

One mini-project which recently came to completion is collecting together recent code forks of EthStats and creating a release and new repo which we call “EthStats Classic” (https:\/\/github.com\/ethereum\/eth-netstats<\/a>). Alethio EthStats is the 2.0 and will be maintained by the Alethio team (https:\/\/github.com\/Alethio\/ethstats-network-dashboard<\/a>).<\/p>\n

From within the Swarm team: We are building tools with Kubernetes that help us quickly provision a variety of Swarm deployments with up to 1000 Swarm nodes, out-of-the-box configured with tracing, monitoring and data visualization tools, which helps our development and testing efforts. These tools allow us to run a number of end-to-end tests as well as mock different network scenarios and simulations. We also run periodic integration tests on larger deployments in addition to our go-test test suite prior to every release, making sure we don’t introduce regressions or performance degradation in Swarm.<\/p>\n
