+# Call for testing Silkaj v0.10.0rc
+
+Hey fellow testers and early-adopters!
+
+We are pleased to announce Silkaj v0.10.0 release candidate, and we would be happy to receive feedback before releasing it as stable.
+
+## Pre-release installation
+To install this pre-release version from PyPI, run following command:
+```sh
+pip3 install silkaj --user --upgrade --pre
+```
+
+## Tests
+Please test it globally, and check [v0.10.0 milestone short summary](https://git.duniter.org/clients/python/silkaj/-/milestones/9#code) which contains the changes which have been implemented during this development cycle.
+Pay a special attention to the newly introduced revocation command.
+
+Manual tests help us making sure everything works fine in different cases.
+Here are some tests we think are necessary.
+Make sure you test on Äž1-Test network to avoid any revocation or loss of money to happen.
+
+### Revocation
+`revocation` command handle the revocation document in an extended way.
+Check the sub-commands:
+```bash
+silkaj revocation --help
+```
+
+Make sure you are able to create new identities before proceeding.
+Create a revocation file with an existing identity.
+Verify the generated file, and publish it!
+
+```bash
+silkaj --gtest revocation save revocation_test.txt
+silkaj --gtest revocation verify revocation_test.txt
+silkaj --gtest revocation publish revocation_test.txt
+```
+
+Or directly all the previous steps with one command:
+```bash
+silkaj --gtest revocation revoke
+```
+
+### License
+Check Äž1 monetary license get displayed correctly in any language and in any configuration: workstation or headless computers.
+```bash
+silkaj license
+silkaj --g1-license-web license
+```
+
+### Network, documents issuance
+Silkaj’s network code layer have been completely rewritten, an other HTTP library is used, the asynchronous propery has been dropped, and the documents classes have been refactored.
+Try any commands requesting information from the network or try sending any document.
+```bash
+silkaj info
+silkaj -ep <hostname>:<port> membership
+```
+
+### Transaction recipients and amounts definition reading from a file
+You can now define `recipients.txt` file following this format:
+```txt
+ABSOLUTE
+
+# moul-test
+10 5B8iMAzq1dNmFe3ZxFTBQkqhq4fsztg1gZvxHXCk1XYH:baK
+
+# matograine
+20 d88fPFbDdJXJANHH7hedFMaRyGcnVZj9c5cDaE76LRN:FVm
+```
+
+And pass it to `silkaj tx` command as follow:
+```bash
+silkaj --gtest tx -f recipients.txt
+```
+
+Check that everything works fine with `RELATIVE` reference.
+You can also check broken file, and see if Silkaj reacts properly to any error in the file format definition.
+
+### Others
+Feel free to play and look for hidden bugs and/or UI/UX improvements!
+We are looking forward for your feedback!
+
+---
+
+The stable release is planned for April 16th 2022, which will be released with an announcement listing the new features as well as a detailed changelog.
