DEVELOPMENT UPDATE DEC 18
Hi Shift community,

We would like to inform you about the latest developments regarding the Shift project.
- today we released the new Shift version 5.2.0, a further milestone in stabilizing and speeding up the shift code.
  https://github.com/shiftcurrency/shift/releases/tag/v5.2.0
- later today we will provide you official snapshots of the shift database
  from then the time-intensive rebuild from scratch belongs to the past
- development on ipfs is ongoing
- Icarus, the blockchain app, is now in testing phase

Btw we have also to say, our roadmap was here a little bit too optimistic.
It'll take longer to get there, because of
  a) alpha status of lisk codebase regarding sidechains
  b) ipfs differs a lot more from zeronet than expected

That's why we had to adjust our roadmap a bit: https://www.shiftnrg.org/roadmap
But be assured, we have our goal before eyes!
