Solidity 0.5.0

[axic]

The new Solidity release has a small breaking change on the solc-js interface. The compileStandard and compileStandardWrapper methods were replaced with compile, but their interface is unchanged - it still expects a "standard compiler json" as a string and returns the result json as a string.

Using an old solc-js will not work with the new release, however using the new solc-js should be fully backwards compatible with old releases.

The new Solidity release has a lot of breaking changes, so I do not expect it to be deployed for Truffle 4.x. For Truffle 5.x also #1426 needs to be fixed.

Closing this as it has been released.
