    1. General:
      1. Travelling
      2. Getting over the flu 😦
    2. Omni Explorer:
      1. Back end improvements to lite.omniexplorer.info
    3. Omni Core:
      1. Continuing troubleshooting deterministic Gitian builds
      2. Generated & signed binaries for 0.2 after @dexx resolved Gitian issue (https://github.com/OmniLayer/gitian.sigs/pull/43)
      3. Testing & bugfixing on Omni Core Lite, fixed the following:
        1. Min & Max activation block values needed to be inflated 4-fold to account for Litecoin’s faster block times
        2. Variable creations sent from the UI appear with incorrect values in overview page while pending
        3. Invalid transactions appear to never confirm in transaction history when they have in fact confirmed
        4. When sending a variable creation from the UI, a deadline was allowed to be in the past
        5. The UI did not protect against sending a variable issuance from an address that already had a crowdsale active

    1. OmniExplorer:
      1. Reconstructed everything from backups following security incident (firewall restrictions dropped for approx 4-6 hours).  Appears regular (non-firewall) security measures did their job & no compromises detected following review but for safety & 100% confidence all components have been restored from clean backups, preparing to swap out production with replacement.

    2. OmniCore:
      1. Reindexed blockchain for OC 0.0.12 and compared various consensus hashes with OC 0.2 to further verify release
