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. + + Milestone 2 -----------
