Weekly Dev Update #174

25 October 2021 —Kee Jefferys

Hey y’all,

The Oxen core team continued focusing on the development of Wallet3, in addition to further modularising some development components such as OxenMQ and OxenEncoding into their own repos.

Oxen Core

Wallet3 block and TX Struct changes, additional work on DB testing and changes to Output scanning https://github.com/oxen-io/oxen-core/pull/1490
Enhanced and package debs for Python oxenmq library https://github.com/oxen-io/oxen-pyoxenmq
Split character and bt-encoding out of oxenmq into its own package https://github.com/oxen-io/oxen-encoding

Lokinet

Only a few updates this week as Lokinet developers were busy working on other Oxen projects. Some progress was made on resolving Windows IPv6 leaks, work progressed on building releases with the new GUI code, and several bug fixes were made.

Fix automatic IP address selection when an existing, smaller range is in use https://github.com/oxen-io/lokinet/pull/1778
Fix libunbound dependency which was no longer working for static builds https://github.com/oxen-io/lokinet/pull/1781
Add a draft AUR package to deal with the current broken AUR packaging https://github.com/oxen-io/lokinet/pull/1782

Session

This week the Session team had a dual focus. First up was finishing an internal testing version of WebRTC calls, which are now production ready. Secondly we turned on and tested unsend requests, which allow for remote message deletion from a chat partners device.
