Counterparty Development Update

January 23, 2015

This week our main focus was on improving Counterwallet experience by fixing GUI issues, preparing new documentation and tutorials, testing the reference client and build scripts, and implementing new unit tests.

As the developers work on getting Counterparty components ready for the next release (v9.49.4), the documentation team is updating the current documentation and writing new tutorials to help users navigate through the various features available in Counterwallet. We will soon launch a new, up to date, documentation on our website and will be adding text and video based tutorials as we move along. Details about the documentation will be revealed in our upcoming blog posts.

For now, let’s look at some of the changes implemented in our code this week.
