Compute Asset reached Alpha release and is available for black-box testing. This release also expanded the problem space that Compute Asset can solve substantially. Some highlights include:
-
Beside reporting your health status, you can now report an endless number of statuses about you and the environment around you, from pot holes on the road to lost handbags to active shooter in the building.
-
Another new feature is the change from a one way data collection into bidirectional asset exchange. All your reports are now tracked with blockchain secured interval coins, so you have a trusted ledger on how much data contributions you have made.

- Production Releases has stable features and are suitable for general usage, with at least 5 years support.
- Staging Releases are for Compute Owners who like to experience the latest technologies at the expense of stability. There will be NO new features added to Staging Releases, they are for shaking out bugs of well-defined stable features for 6 months before a Production Release. Staging Releases have 6 months of support only and will transition seamlessly into the upcoming Production Release.
- Development Releases are for Compute Owners who like to participate in the development of a new release, there will be constant feature changes and lots of bugs.
Although there are at least 5 years of support for all Production Releases, updating once every year to the next Production release is highly recommended. Your local Area Team might provide longer than 5 years support to Production Releases.
