Tests
Please test it globally, and check v0.10.0 milestone short summary which contains the changes which have been implemented during this development cycle.
Pay a special attention to the newly introduced revocation command.
Manual tests help us making sure everything works fine in different cases.
Here are some tests we think are necessary.
Make sure you test on Ğ1-Test network to avoid any revocation or loss of money to happen.
Revocation
revocation command handle the revocation document in an extended way.
Check the sub-commands:
silkaj revocation --help
Make sure you are able to create new identities before proceeding.
Create a revocation file with an existing identity.
Verify the generated file, and publish it!
silkaj --gtest revocation save revocation_test.txt
silkaj --gtest revocation verify revocation_test.txt
silkaj --gtest revocation publish revocation_test.txt
Or directly all the previous steps with one command:
silkaj --gtest revocation revoke
License

silkaj license
Network, documents issuance
Silkaj’s network code layer have been completly rewritten, an other HTTP library is used, the asynchronous propery has been dropped, and the documents classes have been refactored.
Try any commands requesting information from the network or try sending any document.
silkaj info
silkaj -ep <hostname>:<port> membership
Transaction recipients and amounts definition reading from a file
You can now define recipients.txt file following this format:
ABSOLUTE
# moul-test
10 5B8iMAzq1dNmFe3ZxFTBQkqhq4fsztg1gZvxHXCk1XYH:baK
# matograine
20 d88fPFbDdJXJANHH7hedFMaRyGcnVZj9c5cDaE76LRN:FVm
And pass it to silkaj tx command as follow:
silkaj --gtest tx -f recipients.txt
Check that everything works fine with RELATIVE reference.
You can also check broken file, and see if Silkaj reacts properly to any error in the file format definition.
