Hi everyone,

June is almost over and we want to share our roadmap for July! You can find the previous roadmap update (for June) here: Internet Identity Roadmap Update, June 2022

Here’s how things are looking for July:

Again, guesstimate at best, and we’ll probably reshuffle and reprioritize a few things during the month.

Here are a few notes:

  • As you can see, “Protected Recovery Phrases” is still around. Life got in the way and this took a bit longer than expected, but we’ll be releasing that in the next few days. Make sure to subscribe to this thread for updates.
  • Pretty much all our Haskell tests have been ported to rust (I did shed a functional tear) thanks for @frederikrothenberger 's relentless work of porting and improving our canister tests.
  • In July our highest priority will be to provide solutions for dapps to change domain names. Right now, changing domain name (e.g. my-canister.ic0.app to hello.com) would change all the pseudonyms (IDs) generated for users, meaning the dapp would not recognize a returning user. We (well, @frederikrothenberger mostly, I’ll be enjoying the sun on remote beaches) will make sure the transition is seamless between the two domains. More info on that soon.
  • We have a few people from other teams that’ll lend a helping hand with the CSS & HTML (though don’t expect anything too drastic) and with migrating the II canister to a different subnet (which we need because of reasons)
  • We’ll then also start thinking about how we can safely migrate Internet Identity to a new domain, probably something like https://internetidentity.org, which has lots of unknowns, but which we also really need (due to bad content uploaded on the IC there’s a non-zero risk that ic0 will get blacklisted by some platforms). We’ll keep everyone posted on this.
  • “3rd Party Attributes” is just a renamed of “Integration with II”, i.e. integration of other auth providers with II.
  • This didn’t even last long enough to be shown on either the June or the July update, but we did a lot of work making sure that our builds can be reproduced, so that everyone can check that what is installed on the IC is indeed what’s in the GitHub repo.
  • Let’s not forget @frederikrothenberger’s life changing single click auth change, which you can read about here!

I’ll be out for a few weeks, so I wish you all a very nice start in the summer! :desert_island:
