New features:

  • Sawtooth 1.2 was released after an extended round of stability, performance and regression testing. The features contained in the 1.2 release were originally reported in previous 2019 Sawtooth quarterly updates.
  • libsawtooth was released. This Rust library begins to move Sawtooth features into reusable code modules for other applications to construct block chain solutions.  Currently, it provides a module for transaction receipt storage. It is available via crates.io, the standard Rust library repository.
