This week we started working on our next release, 0.7.0.

• We began work on our State Channels specification. We expect to have a first draft of the spec open for you to comment on next week.
• We are making significant progress with the AEVM (Æternity Virtual Machine). We are getting close to the point when we will be able to execute bytecode of fairly complex Solidity contracts.
• We are in the processes of switching from sha256 to Blake2 hash function, which will strengthen security of the blockchain.
• We implemented API endpoints for:
  A) get balance of an address at a given block.
  B) get list of connected nodes/peers.
  C) get transactions related to a account.
• We extended the oracle with endpoints for:
  A) retrieving list of unanswered oracle queries.
  B) retrieving list of known oracles.
• Additionally we made multiple improvements in the persistence layer, Naming Systems, testing, and infrastructure.

Feel free to submit your comments using the dedicated GitHub issues page.
