Here are brief summaries of what's changed between each snapshot release.
Milestone 3
-----------
* More work on preparing for the testnet:
* Corda is now a standalone app server that loads "CorDapps" into itself as plugins. Whilst the existing IRS
and trader demos still exist for now, these will soon be removed and there will only be a single Corda node
program. Note that the node is a single, standalone jar file that is easy to execute.
* Significant work done on making the node persist its wallet data to a SQL backend, with more on the way.
* Upgrades and refactorings of the core transaction types in preparation for the incoming sandboxing work.
* The Clauses API that seeks to make writing smart contracts easier has gone through another design iteration,
with the result that clauses are now cleaner and more composable.
* Improvements to the protocol API for finalising transactions (notarising, transmitting and storing).
* Lots of work done on an MQ based client API.
* Improvements to the developer site:
* The developer site has been re-read from start to finish and refreshed for M3 so there should be no obsolete
texts or references anywhere.
* The Corda non-technical white paper is now a part of the developer site and git repository. The LaTeX source is
also provided so if you spot any issues with it, you can send us patches.
* Further R&D work by Sofus Mortensen in the experimental module on a new 'universal' contract language.
* SSL for the REST API and webapp server can now be configured.
