v0.0.20-alpha3

0.0.20-alpha3 release 2019-06-18

Summary

As the Holochain project matures, we continue to clarify the distinction between components. This is showing up in our testing framework and installation process, as well as the Git repos that hold them. As a result, our automated testing has been greatly simplified, giving us more time to work on new features!

This week we have some bug fixes, API improvements, and an entirely new way of defining a zome. We’re excited about these changes because they will make your life easier.

Highlights

1. Testing/Architecture: Node.JS Conductor Dropped from Tests
2. Installation/Architecture: Holochain Nix Moved to Own Repo
3. API (Breaking Change): Regex Matching on Link Tags and Types
4. API (Breaking Change): Cross-Zome Call and Bridged Zome Call Results More Consistent
5. API (Bug fixes): BadCallError Fixed and No Return DNA Entry in hdk::query()
6. API: Sneak Peek of New Zome Definition Macros!

Highlights

1. Installation: New Windows Install Process Based on Vagrant
2. Debugging: Calls to Other Zomes and Bridges Now Log Errors
3. Bridging/Breaking Change: Bridge Configuration Checked for Correctness
4. Bridging: Live Changes to Bridge Configuration No Longer Require Restart
5. Developer Experience: Safe Serialization/Deserialization of Result Type

Node conductor version holochain-nodejs-v0.4.18-alpha1

v0.0.18-alpha1

0.0.18-alpha1 release 2019-06-04

Summary

Holochain is working toward maturity, and in so doing, is coming to a better understanding of how our code should be organized. We’ve separated the networking repo into its own package, which improves maintainability and speeds up automatic build/test times. This week also brings some low-level features that have no immediate impact on your developer experience, but have big implications for the future. Lastly, we improved error messaging around a previously obscure, but commonly experienced issue.

Highlights

1. Architecture/Testing: Signals Updates and Preparing for Changes to DNA Testing
2. Debugging: Helpful Contextual Logging To BadCallError
3. Internals: Crypto Library Moved Out Of Repository
4. Challenges: Responding To Incoming Needs
