This week we focused on:

• Addressed feedback and merged:

  • Peras 22.5
  • Peras 22.75
  • Peras 23

• Continued working on the plumbing needed for Peras to be supported by the HardFork Combinator.

• Started working on a wrapper akin to BlockForging to encapsulate private keys used for voting committees.

• Introduced a Bytes32RealPoint new type to represent concrete points (i.e., block hashes and their slot number) where the hash is always represented as a 32-byte string. This was needed to extend concrete Peras votes and certificates with slot numbers.

• Diagnosed and started working on a fix for an obscure discrepancy in the model used to test the ChainDB.
