v5.0.11 – A smattering of sprinkles

We cooked up another sugary delight! 🍩

Today’s release contains a smattering of debugger enhancements, such as adding a program counter display to the debugger CLI and optimizing watch-expressions for simple variable lookups.

We also bring you a sprinkle of fixes; for instance, you won’t get decoding errors anymore due to the use of non-Solidity contracts. On the "really old bugs"-front, we also found and fixed a problem that has been causing issues when importing Solidity test contracts in JS.

Shoutout to @princesinha19 for adding block number and block timestamp output to migrations. A much appreciated enhancement!

Until next time! 🎪
