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:

  • Stabilized SQLite and PostgresSQL support for the ReceiptStore in sawtooth-lib
  • Removed smart permission and Pike from Sabre. Pike has been moved to Grid and had a major update, and Smart Permissions are currently not used anywhere but did rely heavily on Pike.
  • Community bug fixes

Current Plans

The following work is currently in progress:

  • Move portions of Sawtooth Sabre to Hyperledger Transact
  • Migrate to Github Issues, away from JIRA.
  • Rewriting the Sawtooth CLI in Rust
  • Refreshing the Sawtooth website and documentation

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.
