Developer update

The mobile community is working on the following features to make Aurora even better:
Automated backups and wallet restore is currently in beta testing. A full roll-out of this highly anticipated
feature is expected in the next week or so, barring any unexpected roadblocks.
The Android version of Aurora is also getting its own automated release process on Github actions. When live, this
will free up several hours a week for the lead maintainer to focus on building awesome features for Aurora rather than
wrestling with the Android build process and the Play store.
The Aurora community is currently discussing some new designs for the transaction feed, which aims to bring more
information about your transactions front and centre and,
(I love this one) a Nav bar to help you find several great features that are currently hidden away a little bit.
Things are also moving on the protocol and base node front:
Work has started on cleanly separating the wallet process from the base node executable. This feature will take some
effort and so is an ongoing process.
A few of the core protocol contributors have started working on a merge mining implementation for Monero. This is
likely to take a few months, so even though the overall proof-of-work strategy has not been finalised yet, merge
mining will be in the picture, so it makes sense to get a head start on that.
There’s also some work going on looking at a few reliability edge cases that popped up during the last stress test.
