Sawtooth Sabre v0.7.2 - 06/24/2021

Overall Activity in the Past Quarter

The community continues to discuss Sawtooth-related issues on Rocketchat. Live working sessions have also been used on a monthly basis to discuss the future of Sawtooth, with participation from the community.

Sawtooth Updates:

A memory leak was discovered in Sawtooth Sabre caused by the version of wasmi pulled in. The leak was improved by updating wasmi from 0.4 to 0.9. This update also provided a small performance increase.

Current Plans

The following work is currently in progress:

Rewriting the Sawtooth CLI in Rust
Refreshing the Sawtooth website and documentation
Move portions of Sawtooth Sabre to Hyperledger Transact
Migrate to Github Issues, away from JIRA.
Add a receipt store trait that will be implemented with LMDB, SQLite and PostgreSQL backends.

The following work is currently planned:

Create a new consensus library that will be used by the Sawtooth validator
Initialize a Sawtooth service for Splinter
Improve Sabre performance

Plans will continue to be developed as part of the working sessions.
