I'd be interested to know what your goals are to get to release v1.0. Posted by lehors at Mar 24, 2022 13:27

We identified the following goals to deem Caliper mature enough for a major v1.0 release: Increase unit test coverage. Cover major features/scenarios in CI integration tests. Expose Caliper services (events, messages, Prometheus, etc) to plugins uniformly (e.g., through a CaliperContext ). Unify the plugin mechanism (a single module should be able to export multiple types and multiple variants of plugins, e.g., two types of RateController , a WorkloadModule implementation, etc.). Especially the monitor-reporter data flow. Once the plumbing in 3 is done, these should be easier. Provide a minimal feature set across connectors (e.g., target multiple nodes, use multiple identities, use multiple contracts). Posted by klenik at Mar 29, 2022 12:00
