The Holochain Foundation is tightening its focus on the features projects need today, working to make them robust and performant -- in short, production-ready. Read this post from Eric Harris-Braun [link to social profile] for more of the story: blog.holochain.org/the-holochain-foundation-is-coming-of-age

Summary: Thorough performance testing, more test coverage, disabling unstable/unneeded features. Eric [link to profile again] is stepping in as HC Foundation Exec Director.

These changes are driven by the needs that projects are sharing with us -- both projects actively building on Holochain and projects whose needs aren't met by other tech.

🌱 Today we're starting something new, an experiment -- regular mini-updates on the Holochain Foundation's priorities and progress. We'd love your feedback on these, so we can make them valuable for you.

1. 🌲 The Foundation's new exec director Eric Harris-Braun has written a post about the changes in our organization(s) and the forces that prompted them. https://blog.holochain.org/the-holochain-foundation-is-coming-of-age/ tl;dr: As projects adopt Holochain, we're focusing on their #1 requirement -- HC stability above all else. Holo is also pivoting its products to meet real-world demand, and HoloFuel is being stewarded by a third organization.

2. 🎓 We've updated our white paper! It focuses on practical decentralized computing. There's another paper, an easier read that explains Holochain's fundamentals through a story about game-loving nomads. https://holochain.org/papers/ Please read, review, and give critical feedback.

3. 🔎 The HC core dev team is auditing, testing, and simplifying code for stability, performance, and maintainability. First two focus areas: state-changing workflows and the network layer that handles gossip.

4. 🧪 Wind Tunnel, an initiative to define a 'performance envelope' for Holochain releases via large-scale testing. We're evaluating high-perf test runners and should settle on one soon. The goal is to understand and be able to communicate exactly what Holochain is capable of, so CTOs and project owners can make informed choices. It'll also help us identify bottlenecks to work on.

5. 📦 Holochain 0.4 is in RC and coming soon. It brings a number of small breaking changes (incl disabling some unstable features), simplifications, bug fixes (thx workflow audits!), performance improvements, and dev experience upgrades. Watch this channel and https://blog.holochain.org/tag/dev-pulse/ for a release announcement.

That's all for this first update, which is on the big side because there's a lot to cover. Future updates will be smaller and tell you what's changed since the last one.
