Hey everyone, We're planning a #XELIS network upgrade around the 30 May. This network upgrade will include bug fixes, optimizations, and new features: - Iterator added in the standard library of Silex: lazy & complex pipeline support! - Improved smart contracts features: a several new functions has been added to push the limits of our platform. - Contract Events: fully autonomous signal/event system. From a contract, you can be notified on a specific action without any off-chain requirement, everything happen on chain directly! - BlockDAG improved: k-cluster check has been included in the calculation of the cumulative difficulty of a block; increasing the security of the network. - Transaction Blob: want to communicate at a lower cost? We introduce a new transaction type called Blob, allowing up to 32 kB of data shared with up to 255 destinations without doing any transfer of value. Faster & more efficient for applications that want to communicate only. - Block reward change: no more side block reward! Side blocks now get the same reward as a regular block. - Difficulty adjustment: instead of being calculated against the block parents, it is now calculated over the last 50 ordered blocks inlined to make the difficulty change smoother. - Lot of bug fixes, optimizations and DAG improvements included The new release will be available next week. This gives a 2 weeks window at least to update to be fully ready. NOTE: The new release will require a new chain sync from genesis to compute some data that will be used by the DAG, but also to contains all the new optimizations.
