We had a comprehensive security audit of Cactus v1.0.0 codes performed by a third-party company. The next release to fix the points from the review will be released soon in the next quarter.
The merge of pull-requests on the main branch had been stopped due to some unstable behavior of CI script since June, but we will make a counter measure to this problem soon.
Hyperledger-labs Weaver maintainers are welcomed to Cactus maintainers, and we are working on merge/collaboration with them.
...
- We were hard at work to make our Weaver merge/collaboration happen and also in extensive talks with the YUI maintainers about the sameand made a branch for this collaboration work. On this branch, we welcomed two Weaver maintainers as the maintainers of this branch. After the merge, they will officially become maintainers on Cactus.
- We aim to bring as much Hyperledger interoperability work efforts together as possible to make the total output greater than the individual sums (code reuse enablement, shared testing infrastructure expertise, benchmarks, release management, etc.)
- The plan is to leverage our mono-repo project structure in order to make the above plans as painless/as low overhead as possible since we want to actively prevent bogging down everybody involved with administrative changes/refactorings/breaking changes required in the name of collaboration
- We continue to put effort into academic research (namely a research group within Hyperledger; several Hyperledger Summer Internships with a research component have been proposed and accepted).
Current Plans
Currently there are some unstable behaviors of our CI scripts and our pull-requests are stopped to be merged, but we already made a counter measure and the problem will be fixed soon. => https://github.com/hyperledger/cactus/pull/2096
After the above problem are fixed, we
Weplan to finish the security audit of the 1.0.0 release and issue patch releases as necessary based on the findings (1.0.1, 1.0.2 etc.)
