v0.7.0

We are pleased to announce the release of version 0.7.0 of the Omni Network CLI and Halo. This is a non-urgent update focusing primarily on enhancing the functionality of the omni CLI to enable external operators to join the Omega testnet as validators and archive nodes.

Key omni CLI Enhancements:

• omni operator init-nodes:
  • Added a --archive flag to configure archive nodes.
  • Improved idempotency, ensuring existing files are preserved and not overwritten.
• omni operator create-operator-key:
  • Generates an insecure, hex-encoded EOA private key file for the operator address.
• omni operator create-consensus-key:
  • Produces the CometBFT consensus private key and state files required for consensus operations.

Note this version of halo is compatible with geth v1.14.8.

v0.4.0

We are excited to announce the first public release of the Omni Network's Omega testnet! This milestone marks a significant step forward in the development of our cross-chain protocol, providing the community with an opportunity to test and interact with the network in a real-world environment.

Highlights:

• Public Omega Testnet Access: The Omega testnet is now open to the public, allowing anyone to permissionlessly join the network, deploy smart contracts, and participate in cross-chain transactions.
• Enhanced Networking: Improved stability and performance for node connectivity, ensuring a more robust and decentralized network.
• Security Upgrades: Implementation of key security patches and audit recommendations to strengthen the protocol.
• Protocol Improvements: Various protocol optimizations for better efficiency and scalability.

We encourage developers, validators, and the broader community to explore the Omega testnet, provide feedback, and help us identify areas for further enhancement as we progress towards the mainnet launch.
