Introduction
The Silkaj team is pleased to announce the release of Silkaj 0.9.0.
The most important changes are highlighted in this article, if you are looking for a comprehensive list of changes, check out the changelog.
Transaction
Silkaj is now properly handling the transaction document size limit.
The 100 lines limit length of the transaction document in the compact format is now properly fulfilled by computing the length of the generated document.
An important bug has been fixed regarding intermediaries transactions:
When spending lots of sources (i.e. huge amounts from member wallets), many useless intermediaries transactions were sent and displayed. Intermediaries transactions are now correctly handled.
Unit tests have been written on the tx command, which comforts us into developing new features.
Refactored id/lookup command
The id command has been completely refactored. It now offers comprehensive results when looking for an identity by specifying a user identifier or a public key.
Now the non-member user identifier are displayed.
The command now uses same algorithm as choose_identity() which relies exclusively on /wot/lookup BMAβs path.
The command has been renamed to lookup to represent more closely what it does. This command renaming will also allow to introduce the future identity command.

Display option on cert, membership commands
This general option allows to display the generated document aside of the confirmation prompt before sending the document.
It can be used for debugging, safety, or curiosity purposes.
This option has only been implemented on the cert and the membership commands for now.
The option should be available in next releases for the three others send-documents commands.

Dry Run option is becoming a generic option
Before:
silkaj membership --dry-run
Now:
silkaj --dry-run membership
Note: This option is currently only implemented in the membership command.
Note: The difference between the --display and the --dry-run options are that the dry run option by-passes the license, and the confirmation approvals.
For safety reasons, the --dry-run option doesnβt allow, at the end, to send the document on the network.
On contrary, the --display option allows to send the document to the network.
Python support
Support for Python 3.5 has been dropped and support for Python 3.9 has been added.
Silkaj v0.8.1 in Debian Bullseye
If you are a user of Debian or its derivatives, you will be able to find Silkaj v0.8.1 available into Debian Bullseye (v11) which is about to be released.
Silkaj package has been updated from v0.6.5 to v0.8.1 and DuniterPy v0.60.1 entered Debian repository for the first time.
Outlook
In the next developments, we are planning to work on DeathReaper, the implementations of the revoke and the identity commands.
The removal of the asynchronous property, the migration from tabulate to Texttable, and the migration from BMA to GVA.
