Hyperledger Sawtooth 1.1 Released

Tracy Kuhrt <tkuhrt@...>
 

It is with great excitement that we would like to announce the release of Sawtooth version 1.1. Earlier this year the Sawtooth community released Sawtooth 1.0, marking the production-ready status of the platform. Since then the community has been hard at work adding new features, improving the privacy and performance of the platform, and growing the ecosystem.

The Sawtooth development team has been focused on two major new features for the Sawtooth 1.1 release, an improved consensus interface and support for WebAssembly smart contracts. For a full list of new features and improvements see the Sawtooth 1.1 Release Notes.
 
Read the blog or see the latest documentation to get started. If you have questions for the community or want to get involved, please join the #sawtooth channel in chat or the Sawtooth mailing list.

Hyperledger welcomes a new project: Hyperledger Ursa

Emily Kurze <ekurze@...>
 

Hello Hyperledger Community,

We’re thrilled to announce the release of Hyperledger’s 11th project Ursa.

Ursa represents a leap forward for Hyperledger as the first metalibrary for cryptography across all Hyperledger projects. Ursa makes it much safer and easier for our distributed ledger projects to use existing, time tested, and trusted cryptographic libraries and new cryptographic library implementations being developed.

Why it matters:  Ursa increases security across all projects. As certain features in one blockchain gain popularity, other blockchains want to adopt those features to stay competitive. As teams cherry pick crypto features from each other, the risk for security issues increases due to duplication. Ursa gathers up all of the crypto implementations and puts them into a single meta library, ensuring that there is a central resource of well analyzed and managed crypto code that is easy for projects to access and use as critical security building blocks . Other main goals of Ursa include:

  • Make increasingly sophisticated crypto protocols available to all Hyperledger projects and the broader open source community to reduce duplicate development

  • Boost interoperability by driving adoption of common verification protocols among projects


Ursa was lead by individuals from Fujitsu, Intel, Sovrin, Dfinity, State Street, Bitwise, IBM, ACM, Sovrin, SAI-Infratel and the Linux Foundation. It’s a win for open source collaboration and the next-level of cryptographic library implementations.

Please help us spread the word for this exciting new initiative. Click to tweets below.

Re: Groups.io Migration Complete

Tracy Kuhrt <tkuhrt@...>
 

I had a couple of people reach out and ask me how they can find out what lists/subgroups they can still subscribe to. https://lists.hyperledger.org/g/main/subgroups provides a list of subgroups that you are currently subscribed to and at the end lists the subgroups to which you have not yet subscribed.


Re: Groups.io Migration Complete

Tracy Kuhrt <tkuhrt@...>
 

Now that we have migrated to groups.io, there are some things that we wanted to bring to your attention.
  1. There is no longer a need to prefix all of our mailing lists with `hyperledger-`. As such, we removed the prefix. For example, the previous mailing list `hyperledger-tsc` has been renamed to `tsc`. The email address that you use to send to the list no longer requires the `hyperledger-` prefix (e.g., tsc@....org).
  2. We have removed the following lists that were not being used:
    1. hyperledger-sdk-wg
    2. hyperledger-demos
  3. We have archived the following lists. This means that while the archives are still available, we do not expect any additional traffic on these lists. If necessary, we can unlock them in the future.
    1. hyperledger-announce - This list has been replaced by the main@... list. 
    2. hyperledger-technical-discuss - This list did not have high traffic and was duplicative of the individual mailing lists that we have for projects and working groups. We also noticed that most people would use the `tsc` mailing list for technical discussions that pertained to cross-project matters.
    3. hyperledger-requirements-wg - As you probably now, the TSC archived this working group in March, 2018.
  4. We have renamed a couple of lists:
    1. hyperledger-stl has become sawtooth (sawtooth@...)
    2. hyperledger-arch-wg has become architecture-wg (architecture-wg@...)
  5. The new main@... list is moderated and consists of anyone subscribing to any list (or subgroup) of the Hyperledger group.
  6. You now have a single username/password for all mailing lists (or subgroups) within the Hyperledger group. This username is tied directly to groups.io and you can use your Facebook or Google account.
  7. You can use the UI to reply to, search for, and filter messages.
  8. You can modify your account profile, including your display name, at https://lists.hyperledger.org/account?page=profile&profilesubid=0
  9. You can edit your group settings using the `Subscription` menu item to specify what type of email delivery you would like for each list. For example, you can modify your settings for the main list at https://lists.hyperledger.org/g/main/editsub
Enjoy!

Greetings!

You would not be using your LFID. Similar to Mailman, Groups.io would use a username/email and password just for Groups.io. However, unlike Mailman, you only need a single Groups.io email and password to access any number of Groups.io groups / projects that you're involved with (as opposed to each Mailman list having a potentially different username and password). Also, if you prefer, you can also log in via your Facebook or Google account if you wish.

Cheers!
