Development progress is looking great in the past week. Release candidate for Coruscant milestone was introduced in the Raiden Client. This release candidate will help the development team in testing and debugging. For now, the open issue section looks clean of any bugs discovered.

The Raiden Testnet is launched.

Coruscant - Songpa adds support for the cooperative settlement. Furthermore it also introduces performance improvements to payments and the WebRTC transport layer. Backward compatibility with version 2.x is broken which means channels opened with older versions need to be closed, settled and re-opened.

The Raiden Client has also seen some nice progress. Progress in the Raiden Client repository can be followed here.

In the Raiden Client repository they successfully completed WebRTC integration. Also, the work in progress version of cooperative settlement feature was introduced. Cooperative settlement was also successfully completed in the Raiden smart contracts. Other work includes minor codebase cleanup and fixes.

Raiden v0.100.4 "thehighfiveghost" is out on testnet, bundled with Raiden Services, and including channel withdrawals, permissive source routing and the handling of pruned blocks.

After the successful release of the 0.39.0 version of the smart contracts, the Raiden team focused on preparing the Raiden Light Client and Raiden Client for the upcoming release.

We have some great news related to the development progress. The Raiden contracts are ready for the Coruscant milestone. All the new features were included in the newly released 0.39.0 version of the smart contracts. The most significant new features include the cooperative settlement and the option to remove token network limits.

Preparing Raiden smart contracts for the Coruscant milestone is currently the highest priority. Support for removing both balance limits and token network count limits have been successfully implemented. Additionally, cooperative settlement was also completed a couple weeks ago. What remains open are improvements to the codebase (eg. better error messages) and gas optimizations.

The most interesting completed feature is support for disabling token network limits, which is being tested. Other progress includes minor maintenance and planning.
