Oxen Weekly Dev Update #161
Oxen released Weekly Dev Update #161 about Finalising Service Node payment batching, Exploring webRTC for Lokinet, Authenticated message retrieval for Session App & more.
Oxen Core
Avoid integer truncation in decoy selection https://github.com/oxen-io/oxen-core/pull/1472
Continued work on Service Node payment batching https://github.com/darcys22/loki-core/commits/batch-sn-payments
Lokinet
This week they continued efforts to get Lokinet integrated with the native Mac network extension API’s — which is taking longer than expected due to a lack of documentation on the macOS side. They also spent some time looking into how or if webRTC would need to be modified to work over Lokinet, with the intention of determining whether or not webRTC is a viable option for future support of voice calls in Session (over Lokinet).
