Silkaj v0.12.0 release

I am pleased to announce the stable release of Silkaj version 0.12.0

In this article, the most important changes are highlighted. if you are looking for a comprehensive list of changes, check out the changelog.

Introduction

The original plan changed, a difficult choice has been made to work on a second development cycle tied to v1 ecosystem, because v2 ecosystem was not fully ready. It was worth it for Silkaj project’s growth with huge improvements not tied to v1 nor v2 ecosystems. It was difficult to go in a slightly different direction, since all contributors’ energy was directed to v2 ecosystem development. Ğcli took over the role as the first CLI client on v2 ecosystem. Silkaj made little progress on v2 ecosystem. But, as for v0.11.0, this release also paves the way for implementations based on v2 ecosystem.

This release comes with the account storage implementation which greatly improves the authentication and revocation files management. A new documentation website has been set up. money history command features the comma-separated value (CSV) output file format option. The command line interface has seen great improvements such as a usage with colors, a better error output, the shell completion, and a small help option. Ğ1 monetary license have been updated, and DeathReaper is now released as part of Silkaj. Last but not least, Silkaj comes with minor network optimisations and Python 3.13 support.

This release is the last planned major release with Duniter v1/BMA support.
