Just a quick update:
Max is working on the RPC tests for 1.14. These are mostly currently set to Bitcoin values and need updating to match Dogecoin, but sometimes this work exposes bugs that can be a lot harder to identify through regular testing.
Patrick is working on continuous integration (Travis), which will help us identify any regressions from later work on 1.14
I'm gathering feedback on first draft of a document making the case for Dogecoin, and tomorrow back to raising PRs
1.14-probably-broken has proved actually quite stable, and I'm beginning to roll it onto further infrastructure. Expect to see the first production network 1.14 node tomorrow.
Patrick reports that services he works with have had problems with Bitcoin Core 0.15 not tracking unspent outputs correctly, to the point that they're reverting to 0.14. That may impact our 1.15 release; at the moment it looks like I'll take 1.15 up to beta stage for forward compatibility testing of 1.14, but it won't be formally released. I'm continuing to rebase 1.14 work on Bitcoin Core 0.15 so we have it ready to clean up and test with, and once 1.14 ships I'll do the same for Bitcoin Core 0.16 to make Dogecoin Core 1.16.
A formal alpha primarily needs the RPC test work to be completed as that will shake out any remaining major snags, and it should then just be a matter of QA stages.
