v5.0.9 — Fresh, new release, Quorum support included

We've got a fresh, new release for you today! 🥗

We have some new multi-chain infrastructure that enables basic Quorum support! You can now specify a network type in your Truffle config. To enable Quorum support, just add the type property and set it to "quorum". Check out the example below.

Example config for using Truffle with Quorum

module.exports = {
  networks: {
    quorumNetwork: {
      host: "127.0.0.1",
      port: 22000,
      network_id: "*",
      gasPrice: 0,
      type: "quorum",
      gas: 4500000 
    }
  }
}

Additionally, the debugger improvements continue to pile up. Initial modifier support has been added along with improved support for mapping keys. We have also provided a couple of fixes for watch expressions.

One final mention is the addition of a new option for truffle migrate. Now you can specify what migration to run up to (last migration inclusive) with the --to flag. So for example, on a fresh project you could run truffle migrate --to 3 and it will run migrations number 1, 2, and 3. We have also made a new --from flag which is an alias of the -f option.

Please enjoy, especially with ice cream! 🍧

How to Upgrade

We recommend upgrading to the latest version of Truffle by running:

npm uninstall -g truffle
