We are excited to announce that our C#/.NET API campaign has been successfully funded in a very short time.
Many thanks to our 14 donors:
It is worth clarifying that this new campaign is not entirely aligned with our main campaign funded in May 2020. The funds raised in the May campaign are being used to make general improvements to the node and guarantee its proper functioning as a mining node.
As we have other goals in addition to making Knuth a reliable mining node, such as making it easy to on-board new developers who can build new ideas and applications for the end user that boost the adoption of Bitcoin Cash. We have decided to create this campaign and it is likely that we launch more campaigns in the future.
Also, during the past week we did several releases.
Knuth node v0.4.1 has been released, it includes the following features and fixes:
Updated several external dependencies: Boost libs. 1.74.0, {fmt} lib. 7.0.3, spdlog lib. 1.7.0, catch2 testing framework 2.13.0.
Some bug fixes and code style improvements.
For the full release notes, please refer to our release notes.
Knuth C-API v0.4.4 has been released.
With this module you can use the Knuth node as a library using the C programming language.
Here is a small introductory program to know how to use it: https://github.com/k-nuth/c-api#hello-knuth
Knuth C#/.NET API v0.2.0 has been released, it includes the following features and fixes:
Based on C-API v0.4.4.
Some API changes.
Fixed a deadlock on Node object disposal.
To use the Knuth C#/.NET API you can follow these instructions.
During the next few weeks we are going to undertake the following tasks:
Maintenance and improvements of the Knuth node and the C and C#/.NET APIs.
Implementation of Testnet4 in the node and APIs.
Implementation of Scalenet in the node and APIs.
Implementation of Double Spend Proofs according to this specification.
Once the C#/.NET library is mature enough, we will begin development of the Javascript library, probably after the November HF event.
We thank Bitcoin Cash ecosystem for its warm support and constant feedback.
Sincerely,
The Knuth team.
Great work
