Upcoming Releases and Work Updates
- Aries Protocol Test Suite
- Works, and ready for test contributions
- Aries Core Libraries (agent storage, ledger interface, comms)
- Planning a move for the Indy Wallet crate into hyperledger/aries-kms
- SQLite as the default KMS plugin.
- aries-kms-sqlite is archived
- Need to migrate Postgres capability to aries-kms-postgres
- Future:
- Verifiable Data Registry Interface library
- Static Peer DIDs in aries-vdri as the default implementation
- aries-vdri-peer is archived
- Planning a move for the Indy Wallet crate into hyperledger/aries-kms
- Aries-CloudAgent-Python (bc.gov) - Release 0.3.5 Released - mainly cache handling updates. 0.4.0 in works - attachment/signature changes.
- Continuing to learn about performance/storage impacts of using Aries protocols and non-secrets (metadata) interface.
- Lessons learned:
- Latest - adding instrumentation into the agent for metrics - where is time spent? Generating cool graphs
- Found that latest bottleneck seems be processing/messaging, so focusing on that.
- Discovered that the "tag-policy" is effectively useless - searching vs. accessing. Removing, despite space savings, probably pulling from indy-sdk.
- Aries-Framework-Go (Troy)
- Weekly planning notes (2019-11-05)
- Wrapping up 0.1.0 release and starting on 0.1.1.
- https://didcomm.org is now used as the prefix for message types (replaces did:sov:....)
- Successful experimentation on the possibility of exposing additional bindings (C, WASM).
