Our work has focused on speed and scale optimization by adapting the underlying components (leap.keymanager and leap.mail) to use the new async API of Soledad. This reduces code complexity by making use of the reactor pattern and by having blocking code (i.e. general i/o) be executed asynchronously. We have revamped how bitmask frontend and backend communicates (this improves performance and prevent bugs), improved log handling for better bug reports, and much more (see the changelog file for a more detailed list). + +This is a release candidate aimed at getting more user feedback to influence our next round of development. We have a list of [known](https://leap.se/code/versions/161) [issues](https://leap.se/en/docs/client/known-issues) that we are cranking through and will add more to the list as feedback comes in. + +Changelog: https://github.com/leapcode/bitmask_client/blob/0.9.0rc1/CHANGELOG.rst + +Hacking and Testing +----------------------- + +As always, your testing and hacking skills are welcome!
