This software is in development phase. Please consider it experimental and don't rely on any API to be stable before version 1.0 comes.
There's release 0.8.2 available. It is usable for basic payment acceptance and spending but more advanced features haven't been well tested yet.
cardano-node running.cardano-wallet running and connected to the node.documentation_.Please note it is most safe to run both node and wallet software on your local machine. The network security is well beyond the scope of this documentation, though. Also, I strongly recommend using the Cardano testnet for any software development and testing.

Q: Why the roadmap above differs so much from the plan presented in Catalyst proposal?
A: While developing the module I discovered that some of the features I had originally declared were impossible to implement given the available tools. Also, the proposal lacked some features that are important but somehow I missed them when proposing. The roadmap consists of items I found both important and doable.
