88: Add more scheduled hard forks? 🥨
Covering Mar 02-09 2020
tl;dr
Grin wallet v3.1.1 patch release around the corner.
Ongoing debate on whether it makes sense to add more scheduled hard forks beyond those already in; no clear indication either way, for now nothing changes.
@jaspervdm has joined as full time dev on project.
@lehnberg (that’s me) funding request for next month.
Grinscan now links transaction outputs and makes it easy for anyone to check degree of aggregation.

@yeastplume’s weekly update.
@jaspervdm’s weekly update.
The last dev meeting covered v4.0.0 planning, discussed the idea of a sample project that pulls in node, wallet, and miner as libraries, and an extensive discussion about hard forks & upgrades after v5.0.0. Nothing changes for now, and any proposal would need to be RFCed and discussed in great depth.
The next bi-weekly developer meeting is scheduled for Tuesday Mar 17 @ 15:00 UTC in grincoin#dev on Keybase. You can add topics to the agenda.
