We're finally having another Ecosystem Session! This time, it's with folks who have shipped a hApp on a consumer device that's landing in people's hands as we speak.
Our host David Atkinson invites Volla's managing director Dr Jörg Wurtzer and Holochain's Eric Harris-Braun to talk about why a privacy-first phone matters, how Holochain fits in, and what's next.
Join us for a livestream at 12:00 UTC on Tuesday, 3 December at https://www.youtube.com/live/O8pLds-WQOg . See you there!

📢 Holochain status update 29 Nov 2024
1. 🚢 The core dev team is prepping v0.3.6, a maintenance release that resolves an issue with a third-party library that causes Holochain to sometimes fail to run on Windows and fail to compile on other systems.
2. ↗️ They're also getting v0.4 ready -- it'll contain the usual perf improvements / dev experience / bug fixes, and will also disable some unstable features (can be enabled with feature flags). More info when it's released.
3. 🧅 The core dev team is hard at work on an update to Holochain's gossip engine. Holochain has 3 layers: 1️⃣ low-level transport 2️⃣ gossip/replication 3️⃣ high-level Holochain 'rules of the game'. They're excited to be cleaning up #2️⃣ and making it perform better based on learnings from previous iterations.
4. 🦘 Work on HC Launcher is on hold for now. The DevHub/App Store, part of the awesome UX of the redesigned Launcher, require better sharded DHT performance. Until then, you can bundle and distribute your hApps individually using https://github.com/holochain/kangaroo-electron .
5. ✏️ We're assessing a replacement orchestrator for our in-house TryCP server for managing large-scale Wind Tunnel tests. It's our hope that it'll scale further. (Correction: We called it a test runner in last update; it's actually a scheduler/orchestrator.)
6. 📱 David Aktinson will host a live Ecosystem Session with Volla's Dr Jörg Wurzer and Holochain's Eric Harris-Braun about a vision for a people-respecting cloud powered by smartphones and other personal devices. Catch them at 11:45 UTC on Tue 2 Dec at https://youtube.com/live/O8pLds-WQOg .
That's all for this time! Have a happy #AmericanThanksgiving if that's where you live, and a happy #HoloMonday no matter where you are 🦆😉

3. 🎥 ICYMI: Ecosystem Session w/ Dr Jörg Wurzer of Volla Systems and Eric Harris-Braun of Holochain. All about why Holochain on a smartphone (tl;dr: privacy) and what their vision for the future is (hint: meshnets on phones?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8pLds-WQOg
4. 🔥 Ecosystem Session double-feature: Art, David, Jarod, Matt on HoloFuel v2 and the new plans for a consortium of DePIN services underpinned by one mutual accounting system (think airline alliances, but for hosting, WiFi, and lost devices) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDaK7BwrE1Y
5. 🛠 Work on streamlining Holochain's gossip layer is moving along quickly. As reported before, this should make it faster, more predictable, easier to debug. As a side benefit, it also decouples it more from Holochain, making it an interesting alternative to IPFS for ppl who don't need the full Holochain experience.
6. 🐙 Catch work on Holochain Core as it happens: devs might want to watch our GitHub project tracker https://github.com/orgs/holochain/projects/11/views/13 (this is a more useful view than the roadmap we posted a couple weeks ago)
7. 🍎 If you're using the old Holonix dev environment, it's time to switch to the new one, which makes it easier to target alt versions and pull in deps. And we're deprecating the old one for Intel Macs due to upstream package issues. https://developer.holochain.org/resources/upgrade/upgrade-new-holonix/
That's all for this week. Thanks for journeying alongside us!
1. 🛳 The core team shipped Holochain 0.3.6 which fixes build/run issues on Windows caused by
sysinfo, a third-party library. https://github.com/holochain/holochain/releases/tag/holochain-0.3.6 We previously released Holochain 0.3.5 which fixes crashes caused by an incompatibility between Holochain and Windows' certificate store. A new hc-scaffold for all releases fixes some Svelte template errors too. 2. 🏗 Speaking of
hc-scaffold, why not try it! It's getting regular updates that improve usability and template maintainability. If you've never built a hApp, maybe it's time?

Release holochain 0.3.6 (20241202.125933) · holochain/holochain
Please read this release's top-level CHANGELOG to see the full list of crates that were released together.
📣 Holochain Dev Pulse 13 Dec 2024 (spooky Friday edition)
This is a small update -- the core team is hard at work refactoring the gossip and publish layer this week and preparing Holochain 0.4 + dev tools + documentation for release.
Work is also continuing on upgrading our testing capacity -- beginning to port our existing tests over to our tentative top pick for a work orchestrator, and talking with Holo about integrating it into HoloPorts.
If you're looking for something rich and inspiring to watch this weekend, check out Holochain executive director Eric Harris-Braun's interview on his vision for The Weave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh1UVlIKvNg
The Weave is a pattern and standard for group formation and cooperation, with a reference implementation called Moss. Read more at https://theweave.social

📣 Holochain Dev Pulse 20 Dec 2024
🎁 An early gift! Holochain 0.4.0 has been quietly released and is now our recommended version for general use. Holochain 0.3 (currently at 0.3.6) and its infrastructure are still supported and will get maintenance updates as needed, while Holochain 0.2 and its infrastructure are now retired.
🤏🏻 The big news is that 0.4.0 comes with less -- we've disabled unstable features by default, allowing more time for testing. This probably won't affect your app, but just in case, read the upgrade guide https://developer.holochain.org/resources/upgrade/upgrade-holochain-0.4/ . There are other breaking changes you'll want to know about too!
🏗 Along with 0.4.0 you'll see a bunch of small quality-of-life improvements in the scaffolding tool. Setting up your first DNA is streamlined, you can edit your entry type's fields before committing to code (super useful feature), and the templates are simpler. Try it over the holidays! https://developer.holochain.org/get-started/
Thank you for journeying with us in 2024. There have been a lot of changes for our organization and the Holochain project, and we deeply appreciate your support through it all. See you in 2025, where we'll keep sharing regular updates on our progress!
