April 2023 Progress:
v24 Release
Over the past couple of months, the focus has been primarily on integrating the classic (pre-MWEB) Litecoin code changes into the v24 Bitcoin code. This process is nearing its conclusion, with all unit-tests fixed, and just a few functional tests remaining to be fixed. Once the last few tests are resolved, I will submit the merged code for review as planned.
I’ll be updating the following task list each month as we work toward the release:
Integrate pre-MWEB litecoin into bitcoin’s v24 codebase (A few tests remaining, then review)
Merge in the previously-released MWEB code (Not started, expected by end of May)
P2P Support for Light Clients (Implemented, in need of merging & thorough review)
Enable descriptor wallets w/ MWEB address support (Not started)
Finish implementing PSBTs (Mostly implemented, needs testing and review)
View key support (Rough design known, implementation started)
Payment Proofs (Design outlined in LIP-0004, implementation not started)
Release Notes (Not started)
Gitian Build & Publish (Not started)
