Monthly Development Update — February 2023
February was a big month for the Swarm network. The price of postage stamps has been recalibrated with the release of Bee 1.20, which marks a major milestone for Swarm’s self-sustaining network. The Research Track has also completed the documentation for Phase 4, which details the work of this phase of the Storage incentives roadmap.

Storage incentives — when, what and how. An EthBerlin meetup recap
In short, there will be five phases to the upgrade (you can expect a more detailed blog on the topic soon). Phase 1 started on 13 September with the breaking release of Bee 1.8.0. This phase will be followed by four other phases that will upgrade the storage incentives mechanism, recalibrate the network, change the storage price, introduce a decentralised price oracle and improve the overall state of the network.

Monthly Development Update — July 2022
There were two versions of the Bee client released in the last month. It is important to mention that node operators are requested to update to the latest version (1.7.0) as soon as possible because there was a change in the protocol.

Monthly Development Update — July 2022
There was a lot of work put into the Bee Dashboard, which is also used as the UI component of the Desktop app. There were efforts made to modularize it even more, so that later, it can be used in standalone mode in the Desktop app and also in the Swarm Browser Extension. Also many of the fixes of the Desktop UI/UX related issues landed here and were released. The latest version is 0.18.2

New and improved Bee UX coming Q2
There are already several Swarm working tools available that make it possible to monitor and interact with a Bee node, but they are at varying stages of being documented. Currently available are the Dashboard for UI control, the CLI tool and the browser extension. There is also the Bee API and a complementary Javascript library to provide easy access to the API.
