Weekly Dev Update #172

Hey y’all, 

Oxen Core

The Oxen core team mostly focused on improvements to the Session Open Group server this week. On top of that, we continued our ongoing work on wallet3, and Tom has been tackling more database changes this week.

• Add SQLiteCpp submodule and base database class using it https://github.com/oxen-io/oxen-core/pull/1492

Lokinet

Various small Lokinet improvements this week aimed at improving connectivity and stability, as well as ongoing app development for the onion-routed video call demo to put liblokinet through its paces ahead of its inclusion in Session.

• Fix build of embedded ngtcp2 on systems where ngtcp2 is already installed as a dynamic library https://github.com/oxen-io/lokinet/pull/1756
