v0.17.2

Composer v0.17.2

This is the release to build projects on top of Hyperledger Fabric v1.1-preview; if you are looking to build on top of the Fabric v1.0, you will need to use the v0.16.x development stream.

A new reporting tool and some minor documentation edits this week as we work on the improvement proposals ... if you want to see what we are planning and help suggest criteria, then please do read and contribute to them 👀

New Features

This release includes an experimental reporting tool that should help us diagnose configuration issues by retrieving system information relating to the node environment. It is bundled in with the composer CLI and can be run via the command composer report.

Bug Fixes

Fixes this week are restricted to documentation enhancement:
🐝 #3180 fixes a grammatical error in the API documentation (well spotted @ElOpio 👍 )
🐝 #3159 fixes a link in our documentation to point to the 'next' version of Composer Playground
🐝 #3103 rectifies an out of date reference in the contributing guide and improves the identity-issue reference documentation (thanks @Navdevl 👍 )

Notes

⚠️ Business Network Cards are not transferable between v0.16.x and v0.17.x. It will be necessary to manually clear your card store in order to use a different version. Please note that the CLI command to delete a named card will not work correctly if targeting a named card that was created from a different version.

Conga Comics

Now the staple of the release notes, our resident artist @EdMoffatt has set the bar to a record block height with the latest issue. Quite simply hyper-legendary.
