QRL v2.0

hyperion

• added ML-DSA-87 verification builtin/codegen, SHAKE256 builtin support
• added alignment with go-qrl precompile outputs,
• added real-signature verification in the test host
• argument-order fixes across IR/codegen/SMT
• EIP-55-style fixes for wide mapping keys and indexed addresses
• 64-byte topic handling
• ARM64 builds
• release/CI fixes
• removal of older ABI-v1 support

hypc-bin

• added the Hyperion v0.2.0 compiler binary and release metadata

hypc-js

• updated the JavaScript compiler wrapper to Hyperion v0.2.0

go-qrl

• added SHAKE256 precompile at 0x06 and the 64-byte ML-DSA-87 verification frame at 0x03
• added legacy QRL migration with streaming genesis initialisation
• fixed ABI panic-selector handling with Hyperion compatibility tests
• regenerated tracer/fixture codecs
• improved devp2p, logging and Catalyst behaviour
• continued general client clean-up

qrysm

• updated go-qrl/go-qrllib dependencies following the new crypto and VM interfaces
• fixed CI and validator fixtures
• removed redundant documentation and obsolete derived-keymanager code
• removed the contract-deployment-block flag
• repaired tests affected by the newer SSZ bounds checks.

rust-qrllib

• v0.1.8 released
• dependency maintenance following the previous week’s addition of Falcon-1024 and associated ACVP validation.

QRL v1.0 -> v2.0

QRL v1 archive

• continued native QRL v1 node recovery work as part of the archive/rehearsal process. This follows the previous week’s 1.62-million-block rehearsal and exact-byte exporter/verification tooling.

QRL v1.0

qrl-wallet

• wallet UX and policy hardening: enforced server policy for custom nodes and desktop networking, added a CSS loading spinner while opening wallets, and improved performance by rendering the large OTS-tracker grid only when its dialog is actually open.

qrllib

• updated JavaScript test dependencies (brace-expansion and js-yaml). No major functional library change landed in this window.

webtools

• completed the outstanding grouped development-dependency update from the previous week.
