Generative AI has accelerated that development by... a lot. The number of long-standing software and systems problems its been able to help me solve over the past 6 months has astonished me. The next Synchronet release will be a big jump in quality (stability and scalability) from the last official release. Of course, you can use the current development build (v3.22a) any time and your feedback is appreciated.
