Development Update for week of November 4th, 2018 12 MRs were merged into the Sia repository. GitLab users tbenz9 (community contributor), starius (community contributor), drexel1 (community contributor), nielscastien (community contributor), chrisschinnerl, msevey, davidvorick, and lukechampine had code contributions merged into the Sia repository. It’s great to see so many community contributors this week, if anyone is interested in getting involved in the code and needs help getting started please reach out to me (tbenz9) or a member of the Sia team. Several large features were merged into Sia this week. Sevey’s “host whitelist blacklist” was finalized and merged into the master branch, along with, community contributor, Drexel’s “ability to overwrite existing file when uploading” merge request. These are both features that have been in development for several weeks and are now officially in the code. Chris had his “Move SiaFile on-disk encoding from JSON to binary” merge request merged into the “unstable” branch which has been the main development branch for 1.4.0 features. Luke merged an exciting feature enabling partial downloads to be validated through “Merkle range proofs”.
