v5.7.7 – Cranberry Orange Upside Down Cake

Hello hello! 👋 It's time for another Truffle release!

This week, we have a little bit of everything for you! Truffle should now properly return an error when it is due to an out of gas exception! 🎉 Previously, these were coming back as custom errors without further information. Additionally, you can now see a link to the Truffle Debugger documentation in the CLI when using it! 👀 Always nice to have more information at your fingertips! ⌨️

Special thanks to @sukanyaparashar for upgrading the solc dependencies to v0.8.18 in contract-schema and compile-solidity packages! 🙏

See below for more detail on the contents of this week's release. Thanks for reading, and we'll see you next week! ✨

v5.7.6 – Classic chocolate fondue

Hi folks! Nice seeing you today 🤩

This week's Truffle release brings you fixes to some bugs that got surfaced internally. Hopefully these bugs didn't affect you, or maybe you were too busy dipping pieces of fruit into melted chocolate to open an issue 😮 🍍 🍓. In any case, we recommend reading on and upgrading!

Most notably: you can now switch accounts between transactions in Truffle Dashboard. This wasn't working correctly, which meant problems if (e.g.) your deployment process requires multiple accounts to sign different transactions... not great 🙀! Fortunately, this is now fixed and you can feel free to use Truffle Dashboard for all your CLI-driven signature needs, no matter how many counter-parties you want to involve in your smart contracts. 📄 🖊️

Besides that, Truffle's interactive console (i.e., in truffle develop and truffle console) now properly interprets quoted strings... e.g., now "two words" gets treated as only one string, the way you'd expect! We've also fixed the behavior of our help system inside the interactive console, so now help inside Truffle's console behaves the same as truffle help on the command line. ℹ️

Special shout-out to @sukanyaparashar for updating our truffle init output to the latest Solidity! Thanks for getting that for us 🙏.

Scroll down for all the details if you'd like... regardless, take care and thanks for reading! 👋

npm uninstall -g truffle

• Ensure @truffle/from-hardhat specifies --no-compile (#5872 by @kevinbluer)

Dependency updates

• Upgrade solc version to v0.8.18 in truffle init (#5870 by @sukanyaparashar)

v5.7.5 — Chocolate chips

Hey everyone! 🫠 This week we're back with another release that mostly takes care of some good old fashioned housekeeping. 🧹

So Solidity 0.8.18 was recently released and there are a couple of updates here to keep up with them. The one of the two worth mentioning is the new block.prevrandao alias (for block.difficulty). This has been added as a globally available variable in the debugger. Additionally, we bumped highlightjs-solidity (which will yield better syntax highlighting) and web3 (woohoo!🎉). We hope you enjoy and we'll see you next time! 👋

How to upgrade

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

npm uninstall -g truffle
npm install -g truffle

Changelog

Enhancement

• Add block.prevrandao as globally available variable in debugger (#5866 by @haltman-at)

Internal improvement

• Add appendCBOR field in metadata settings type in source fetcher (#5864 by @haltman-at)

Dependency updates

• Update web3 to 1.8.2 (#5862 by @haltman-at)
• Update highlightjs-solidity to 2.0.6 (#5865 by @haltman-at)

v5.7.4 — Chocolate bumpy cake

Hi all, we've got a small release this week but it's got some useful bug 🐛 fixes!

Specifically, there was a problem where, when using abbreviated names of Truffle commands -- for instance, truffle migr instead of truffle migrate -- some command-line options might not get set properly. But this has been fixed now so you may be as terse as you please! 🏎

And -- aside from some internal improvements and dependency updates -- that's it! But we'll be back next week with more, and interesting things are brewing for later... 🫖

How to upgrade

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

npm uninstall -g truffle

v5.7.3 — Everything-free cupcakes 🧁

Hello all! 👋

We hope you're having a great start to 2023 and hanging in there with your New Year's resolutions. 🧘

This week's release offers up a number of quality of life improvements and all round healthy goodness. Firstly, Truffle now ships with Ganache v7.7.3 which adds support for the Merge! ♻️ In addition, Truffle now more robustly handles help requests so truffle help <cmd>, truffle <cmd> --help, and truffle --help <cmd> should all have consistent output when searching for help for a given command. 📖 We've also updated the list of supported networks by Sourcify.

Lastly, Truffle will also now politely ask if you'll be willing to share telemetry when using Truffle Dashboard. 🙏 Note that this will never include any personal data and you can view our analytics policy for more detail.

That's all for this week, but as always, we'll be back next week with more!

npm uninstall -g truffle

Hello all, welcome to 2023!!! 🥂 🥳 🍾
We are back at it again with our weekly releases. 🛼

A big shoutout to @dPreininger for ringing in the ✨ new year 🎉 with a bug fix for Truffle! There was an issue they fixed with Truffle's development console to prevent crashes when interacting with Vyper smart contracts 🐍. Thank you for getting this! Many contributed their time and talent last year, and we are very much looking forward to collaborating more this year with our community. Please feel free to reach out if you find any issues in our backlog exciting. 🙇

🏗️ Please take a moment to complete The Solidity Development Survey 2022. The last day to fill out the survey is January 7th. Thank you! 🙏🏽

See you soon!

v5.7.1 — Chocolate 🍫 Pavlova with Spiced Pears 🍐

Hello all! 👋

We want to bring a delicious chocolate 🍫 pavlova with spiced pears 🍐 to celebrate 🎉 this holiday season. Sit down 🪑, relax 🤗, and enjoy 🥳!!!

While Truffle dropped support for Node 12 a while back, we hadn't been enforcing this in our Node version check at startup. We now check this; Truffle will now refuse to run on Node 12 to prevent any problems.

One more thing! Please take a moment to complete The Solidity Development Survey 2022. This helps our community 🧑🏽‍🤝‍🧑🏽 to improve. Thanks! 🙏🏽

v5.7.0 — Some treats!

Hey ho, we have a release!
Let's go, enjoy it with some treats! 🍫

It's Thursday yet again and we have a Truffle release coming your way! ↔️ This one is pretty exciting because we are finally releasing a console.log for Solidity in Truffle's testing and console environment. Simply use the following import at the top of your contract:

import "truffle/console.sol";

Then you can call console.log() similar to how you would in JavaScript.

console.log("this is logging and here is an address - %o", msg.sender);

Now when you run this code during a Truffle test run or in Truffle's console environment, you will receive logging! Super cool! 🪵

Another change we have this week is an update to the ENS infrastructure. When deploying an ENS dev registry, Truffle will also deploy a reverse registrar to allow for reverse resolution. So happy resolving!

@truffle/provider received a spruce up as well! Remember EIP 1193? This is the one that specifies a request method on providers (in addition to some other things). Now @truffle/provider is 1193 compliant!

Lastly we have a couple improvements that are a bit more internal to Truffle. A bit of code was cleaned up and fixed 🛠️, and an improvement which makes the encoding of contract creations easier was added.

ℹ️ Oh and before we go, we'd like to once again remind you that the Solidity team is conducting a survey to find ways of bettering the language and the compiler. So go complete it here to help improve the ecosystem!

And that should be it for this week! Happy middle of December to everyone and we'll see you again next time!

npm uninstall -g truffle
