Greetings? :D **\<hyc>** oh yeah, I always forget the social conventions **\<rehrar>** 2. Point release items **\<rehrar>** moneromooo around? dsc\_ too **\<rehrar>** ping the other peoples **\<vtnerd\_\_>** hello **\<selsta>** GUI is almost ready for 0.14.1 **\<rehrar>** bam, thanks selsta **\<rehrar>** and that will have Trezor, yeah? **\<selsta>** yes **\<rehrar>** I don't own one, so it's not a big deal for me, but I'll have an answer for people **\<rehrar>** anyone to do a quick update on Monero Core? **\<rehrar>** also, what is the name for the core software? Can we name it? **\<rehrar>** We've had this discussion a lot of times. **\<jwinterm>** monerod and monero-wallet-cli? **\<rehrar>** yes **\<rehrar>** alright, good talk everyone **\<sgp\_>** hello everyone **\<hyc>** point release doesn't get a new name **\<hyc>** it's still Bron Butterfly **\<hyc>** Boron **\<rehrar>** I meant monero core software hc **\<rehrar>** \*hyc **\<hyc>** oh **\<sgp\_>** More than the "daemon" and "CLI"? **\<hyc>** what's wrong with calling it core? **\<rehrar>** nothing, I guess. I just don't know that there's one thing that people agree on. **\<rehrar>** well, doesn't seem there's anyone around to update on Monero core **\<rehrar>** selsta: anything else on the GUI. When expected to be done? **\<rehrar>** if someone wants to update on core whenever they have the time, that'd be cool. **\<hyc>** looks like nothing else then **\<moneromooo>** By core, you mean the GUI or not the GUI ? **\<moneromooo>** It's confusing because some people mean not the GUI now. **\<dEBRUYNE>** the 'monero' repository I guess :P **\<ErCiccione[m]>** well, with rights, since the GUI was called monero-corefor long time **\<dEBRUYNE>** ^ moneromooo **\<hyc>** but it's called monero-gui now so ... **\<rehrar>** it made no sense that the GUI was ever called core **\<hyc>** god only knows why someone thought "hey let's make a gui but not call it the gui!" **\<dEBRUYNE>** I can give some further updates on the GUI once mooo is done with the core stuff :p **\<rehrar>** Can we all agree between us present that core means CLI tools and daemon? **\<ErCiccione[m]>** isn't just linked hyc? IIRC it should still take you to the GUI if you look for monero-project/monero-core **\<rehrar>** and GUI means GUI? **\<jwinterm>** most applications with GUIs are not called by their function+GUI, probably **\<ErCiccione[m]>** i confirm monero-core still points to monero-gui **\<rehrar>** oof. I'll restart the conversation again on github issue or something in regards to naming **\<rehrar>** either way, moneromooo is it possible to tell us where point release is at for CLI/core stufs? **\<dEBRUYNE>** moneromooo: My intention was to let you go first :-P **\<hyc>** jwinterm: do you find that's true for apps that have both GUI and CLI? particularly if only a CLI existed for a long time? **\<moneromooo>** We've started merging stuff before the customary 10 days wait now. I expect we'll branch soonish. **\<moneromooo>** The only thing I know of that's really needed before a branch is the new fake out selection. **\<moneromooo>** And that's PRed. **\<moneromooo>** A few nice to have are the SSL changes, the second part of the RPC tests, and possibly the pay-for-service but I think that one's unlikely to happen now. **\<rehrar>** cool, thanks **\<ErCiccione[m]>** i will push some translations for the CLI next week, we should have a new language available (hindi) **\<moneromooo>** So if anyone wants something in before the branch, be fast. **\<moneromooo>** And this time, there should be lots of time for translations ^\_^ **\<rehrar>** maybe I'll PR a pleasant message when opening the wallet so I can get a "contributor" flair or the reddits **\<selsta>** 19:13 \<rehrar> well, doesn't seem there's anyone around to update on Monero core \<-- All features are PRed, only missing review. **\<ErCiccione[m]>** moneromooo: yep, not complaining this time (yet) :D **\<rehrar>** nice **\<rehrar>** dEBRUYNE: all you **\<dEBRUYNE>** Let's see **\<hyc>** btw I hope #5376 makes it in this round, it'll be helpful for the solo mining code **\<jwinterm>** hyc: not too many apps spring to mind that meet that criterion **\<dEBRUYNE>** Like selsta said, we should be ready in time for 0.14.1.0 **\<dEBRUYNE>** There will be a revamped history page as well as a revamped address book **\<dEBRUYNE>** Xiphon has also posted a ffs to work on some stuff such as optimizing the communication between the wallet and the daemon and implementing a decentralized remote node scanner -> https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/merge\_requests/55 **\<dEBRUYNE>** For the latter feature, we'll have to wait a bit before nodes will start using the --public-node flag **\<dEBRUYNE>** Oh there will also be fiat pricing (the feature will be turned off by default) **\<dEBRUYNE>** And we've started discussing how to easily integrate i2p-zero and tor **\<dEBRUYNE>** ^ If anyone has suggestion on a design, feel free to list them **\<rehrar>** integrate in terms of design, yes dEBRUYNE ? **\<dEBRUYNE>** wrt i2p, I think the easiest would be the bundle the i2p binary with the GUI binary and then have a checkbox on the settings page to start it **\<dEBRUYNE>** Yeah **\<dEBRUYNE>** The new white theme may also be included in the point release btw (vid from dsc here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTLNwRaoa4s) **\<rehrar>** ok **\<rehrar>** ooh, that's kind of cool **\<dEBRUYNE>** That's it basically :-P **\<rehrar>** cool **\<rehrar>** anything else from anyone? **\<rehrar>** I said we could keep it short. :) **\<hyc>** let's call it **\<xmrmatterbridge> \<rehrar>** Cool. Two weeks from now. Same time. See you all then. **\<xmrmatterbridge> \<rehrar>** Oh, those who have used the new CCS. How was it? **\<xmrmatterbridge> \<rehrar>** To donate or to put up a proposal? **\<ErCiccione[m]>** just quickly: **\<ErCiccione[m]>** The guide for the GUI is completed, thanks to el00ruobuob, it only needs to be built and translated, but it can be included with next release :) **\<ErCiccione[m]>** https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-GUI-guide **\<ErCiccione[m]>** reviews and features/suggestions are always welcome **\<ErCiccione[m]>** rehrar: I think it's a great improvement in terms of usability for the community, still needs some tweaking, but i think it's a huge improvement **\<dEBRUYNE>** ErCiccione[m]: Doesn't the ecosystem repo already have the Monero heart logo btw? :P **\<ErCiccione[m]>** dEBRUYNE: yes, but i thought would be cool to have a personalized logo. I'd like the Ecosystem Project to grow with time **\<dEBRUYNE>** The hear tlogo kind of grew on me :-P **\<ErCiccione[m]>** eheh i can't deny i would miss it
