After several months of behind-the-scenes thinking, discussions, implementations, experimentation, and testing — we are finally just a few steps away from releasing Skytable Octave. Yes, that release that you've been hearing about forever but couldn't get your hands on!

Before everything else, I must apologize for how long it has taken. As I kept mentioning, Skytable Octave is not like a rewrite of Skytable — it has almost been like writing Skytable from scratch. Everything, starting from the query interface and engines, to the in-memory engines, to the storage engine, the network layer — every piece is new. I've spent countless hours working on this, and I hope you love it!

That being said, here's a brief timeline of where we are right now (just another few boxes to check):

  • New query engine
    • Models and spaces in semantics
    • Remove actions (notes: we'll see what we want to do here. but for now, actions are completely removed)
  • New memory engine
  • Stress test memory engine (notes: still need to optimize memory usage; in later PR)
  • New storage engine
  • Stress test storage engine
  • Final Skyhash 2 spec (publish to docs)
  • Small tasks (which will take a day or two but nevertheless are important):
    • PR 1: Merge new engines into next
    • Backwards compatibility
    • Document the new query interface
    • Document the new protocol and help the community upgrade
    • Ship 🚀🚀🚀

For those asking, development was done in private repos (for convenience with testing and to keep it a secret!) and will be merged into this repo with a public PR.

good news, By the way, does the new version depend on the VC runtime?

Hmm, by VC runtime do you mean Visual C++? In that case, we haven't ever depended on VC in any way (unless you're building Skytable on Windows from source, in which case rustup will make you install a bunch of things (MS Build Tools))

Almost at the last piece to the puzzle; waiting to fix an issue with the table data storage system (attempts to make it more efficient ending up making it a little more complex than I had aimed for which lead to a very interesting bug that I'm trying to fix).

Next up:
(1) publish the new protocol spec
(2) simply replace ~100 lines of code in the arbiter :)

Storage engine is go for launch. Finalizing protocol impl. Should hopefully have the protocol matter settled by end of day UTC :)
