In an email sent to their subscribers, Block.one, the developer of EOS.io, announced the release of the Dawn 3.0 Alpha version. Here are the most important things (wether or not you're interested, as a developer, in this product):
- unified codebase (the former 2.0 version is now obsoleted by the current one) - which means development is still at a steady pace
- no testnet available for 3.0 until the team will "have high confidence that it will work as expected" - expected date for this new version testnet is the end of A1
- 2.0 smart contracts already deployed will still be available at https://testnet1.eos.io
There are a few other technical improvements, please check the releases page on Github for further details.
For those not knowing, EOS is an alternative to Ethereum (as a general smart contract platform) but with significant improvements in speed and scalability. The technical team is led by , one of the co-founder of Steemit and the co-founder of BitShares.
Recently, EOS broke into top 10 crypto, although, as you already learned, it doesn't yet have a mainnet (and the testnet is running on an obsolete version).
I'm closely watching this project and I'm really curious to take it out for a spin, once the codebase is a bit more stable.
