  • Fabric v3 development - SmartBFT

    • First pass of end-to-end integration merged in main branch, working on docs and sample for an early tech preview release - v3.0.0-preview?

    • Then will tackle some of the larger refactoring around “inversion of control” for orderer binaries per consensus algorithm (Raft, SmartBFT)

    • Need to address Raft CI failures in unit tests and integration tests
