Hey fellow testers and early-adopters!
We are pleased to announce Silkaj v0.11.0 release candidate, and we would be happy to receive feedback before releasing it as stable.
It is planned to be the latest release with Duniter v1/BMA support and the release to enter Debian 12 Bookworm.

Tests
Please check v0.11.0 milestone short summary as well as the changelog containing the changes which did happen during this development cycle.
Structural changes were made, so please check Silkaj is still working in its entirety.
Manual tests help us making sure everything works fine in different cases.
Make sure you test it on Ğ1-Test network to avoid a revocation or any money loss to happen.
Pipx installation
Test that the newly introduced pipx method installation documentation works fine in your case, with your particular Unix system.
Tell us how can the documentation be improved, if a non-obvious step for you is missing or if a necessary package isn’t listed for Silkaj to work on your system.
New CLI design
Silkaj commands have been reorganized into following groups: blockchain, money, wot.
Some commands not related to these contexts have been kept in the top-level group.
Tell us if the new CLI design with sub-sub-commands compared to the previous one with all the commands at the top-level instead fits best, is less convenient, is following a more structured logic.
Commands:
about Display program information
authentication Generate authentication file
blockchain Blockchain related commands
checksum Generate checksum out of a passed pubkey or an...
license Display Ğ1 monetary license
money Money management related commands
wot Web-of-Trust related commands
Table generation
The underlying table generation library has been changed.
Tell us if the tables are displaying content correctly, or if any improvement can be done, or if a regression got introduced.
Others
Feel free to play and look for hidden bugs and/or UI/UX improvements!
We are looking forward for your feedback!
The stable release is planned on November 26th 2022, which will be released with a detailed announcement explaining the changes.
