Update Friday, July 12th 2019
Going to be a very quick update from my end this week, since it’s mostly been a deep-dive into coding mode:
- Mainly, a large refactor/reworking of the ‘lifecycle management’ for a wallet in anticipation of the corresponding RFC. The goal of this PR is to ensure all of the traits and structs are properly re-worked to support full lifecycle management via the API, without actually changing anything from the user’s or API consumer’s perspective. Once this is in place, the new API functions in the RFC should be fairly easy to implement. Much struggling with the Rust compiler with respect to the borrow and lifetime checks, but I think all of these changes will make things easier to work with, and the entire code will be very well modularised.
That’s pretty much it, and I’d expect at least a couple more weeks on this PR in particular and refining the RFC before it’s ready to merge.
On the wallet-subgroup front we don’t have an exact structure for the wallet working group, we’re basically just running the channel now to see what happens. I can say that there seems to be more relevant conversation and feedback about wallet changes than there was before, so from that perspective (though it’s early days,) it seems to be having a positive benefit. A good start, and I hope to see a lot more activity in the group over the next few weeks.
Oh, and I’ll be at the Grin London meetup next week with @lehnberg and @jaspervdm… should be good times, and hope to see anyone who can make it!
That’s all for now, have a good weekend.
