Hey fellow testers and early-adopters!

We are pleased to announce Silkaj v0.10.0 release candidate, and we would be happy to receive feedback before releasing it as stable.

pip3 install silkaj --user --upgrade --pre

To install and run Silkaj from a container:

sudo docker pull registry.duniter.org/clients/python/silkaj/release/pip:v0.10.0rc0

Run Silkaj from outside the image:

Tests¶

Please test it globally, and check v0.10.0 milestone short summary which contains the changes which have been implemented during this development cycle. Pay a special attention to the newly introduced revocation command.

Manual tests help us making sure everything works fine in different cases. Here are some tests we think are necessary. Make sure you test on Ğ1-Test network to avoid any revocation or loss of money to happen.

Revocation¶

revocation command handle the revocation document in an extended way. Check the sub-commands:

silkaj revocation --help

Make sure you are able to create new identities before proceeding. Create a revocation file with an existing identity. Verify the generated file, and publish it!

silkaj --gtest revocation save revocation_test.txt
silkaj --gtest revocation verify revocation_test.txt
silkaj --gtest revocation publish revocation_test.txt

Or directly all the previous steps with one command:

silkaj --gtest revocation revoke

License¶

Check Ğ1 monetary license get displayed correctly in any language and in any configuration: workstation or headless computers.

silkaj license
silkaj --g1-license-web license

Network, documents issuance¶

Silkaj’s network code layer have been completely rewritten, an other HTTP library is used, the asynchronous propery has been dropped, and the documents classes have been refactored. Try any commands requesting information from the network or try sending any document.

silkaj info
silkaj -ep <hostname>:<port> membership

Transaction recipients and amounts definition reading from a file¶

You can now define recipients.txt file following this format:

recipients.txt

ABSOLUTE

# moul-test
10 5B8iMAzq1dNmFe3ZxFTBQkqhq4fsztg1gZvxHXCk1XYH:baK

# matograine
20 d88fPFbDdJXJANHH7hedFMaRyGcnVZj9c5cDaE76LRN:FVm

And pass it to silkaj tx command as follow:

silkaj --gtest tx -f recipients.txt

Check that everything works fine with RELATIVE reference. You can also check broken file, and see if Silkaj reacts properly to any error in the file format definition.

Others¶

Feel free to play and look for hidden bugs and/or UI/UX improvements! We are looking forward for your feedback!

The stable release is planned for April 16th 2022, which will be released with an announcement listing the new features as well as a detailed changelog.
