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 the bitmask frontend and +backend communicates (this improves performance and prevents 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 issues +(https://leap.se/code/versions/161 / +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/0.9.0rc2/CHANGELOG.rst + + +Hacking and Testing +----------------------- + +To get started you should download rc2 and signatures: +https://dl.bitmask.net/client/linux/release-candidate/ + +If you never used the standalone bundle before you can take a look the docs for +stable releases: +https://bitmask.net/en/install/linux#install-stand-alone-bundle + +Here are some tips for RC testing that you can use: +https://github.com/leapcode/bitmask_client/blob/develop/docs/testing-rcs.README + +As always, your testing and hacking skills are welcome!
