9.0.0-beta-RC.1

• Official support for the new Florence protocol which will come into effect on Mainnet in May.
• Allows fetching big map with a key of type string, number, or object. This includes a breaking change for the method getMultipleValues of the BigMapAbstraction class and the method getBigMapKeysByID of the RpcContractProvider class as they will return a MichelsonMap instead of an object to support keys of type pair.
• Updated beacon-sdk version to v2.2.4 which includes several performance improvements for p2p pairing.
• Added documentation about the Michelson encoder package: https://tezostaquito.io/docs/michelson_encoder.
• Ability to find version and git hash from which Taquito was built #638
• Accept an operator for the retry strategy of ObservableSubscription class. An example of use has been added to the example folder.

@taquito/taquito - Polling interval

After sending an operation with Taquito, we call the confirmation method on the operation. Taquito does polling to the node to fetch new blocks and validate if the operation hash is in the block. Before this change, the polling interval's default value (confirmationPollingIntervalSecond) was set to 10 seconds. In theory, a new block is baked every 30 seconds on the testnets and every 60 seconds on mainnet. However, the time between blocks is shorter on sandboxes. For example, it can be of 5 seconds on Flextesa. A 10-second polling interval is too high for sandboxes and leads to a very high chance of missing the block containing the operation. To improve sandbox users' experience., we now calculate the polling interval value dynamically based on the RPC constants. To consider variations regarding the time between blocks in practice, we divide the value by 3 to reduce the risk of missing a block.

Note that this value was configurable before and can still be configured if needed:
Tezos.setProvider({config: {confirmationPollingIntervalSecond: 5}})

@taquito/taquito - Delay and maximum number of attempts for the ObservableSubscription

When users configure the ObservableSubscription to retry on error, the retries were happening immediately and indefinitely, causing call stack exception. Now, when the retry is enabled, the subscription uses a default value of 1 second between retries and a maximum value of 10 retries.
These values are configurable by the user:
Tezos.setProvider({ config: { shouldObservableSubscriptionRetry: true, observableSubscriptionRetryDelay: 2000, observableSubscriptionRetries: 3 } });

@taquito/ledger-signer - prefixSig

The prefixSig property returned by the sign method of the LedgerSigner class was using SIG prefix. The correct prefix is now returned (e.g. EDSIG for tz1, SPSIG for tz2, and P2SIG for tz3).

@taquito/michelson-encoder sorting of numeric values

The numerics values (nat, int, and mutez) were not sorted properly by the Michelson Encoder, causing the following RPC Errors: unordered_map_literal or unordered_set_literal. For example, the RPC expects maps to be sorted by ascending keys values. The values were ordered as strings by the Michelson Encoder instead of number, resulting in wrong ordering for the RPC.

Documentation Additions and Improvements

A link to the Tezos Taquito Telegram group has been added in the Taquito website home page's footer, making it easier to find the group. You are welcome to join this group to access community support and connect with the Taquito team.

We fixed broken links on the Taquito documentation website.

There is new documentation on the website explaining how to produce signatures with the InMemorySigner and the Wallet API, along with examples and tips to keep in mind.

A note on how to use the Kukai wallet for testing on Edonet has been added to the Wallet API documentation.

Pack and unpack data locally

Before v8.1, Taquito provided an API to pack data using Tezos RPC. This release introduces local packing and unpacking data, allowing for security-conscious off-line operations and faster dapps because of fewer RPC requests. allows the getBigMapKeyByID to use the new michel-codec packData implementation

Local pack means that fetching big map values is now 50% faster! Big map keys must be encoded using the PACK method, so Taquito needed to use the rpc.packData() method. As of v8.1 Taquito, users can opt to pack big map keys locally, eliminating an RPC round trip.

This feature is opt-in, meaning that the Taquito user must enable it to benefit from faster big map fetching. The RPC key backing method is still the default. See Local packing for big maps

npm preview registry - Delivering continuous delivery

Developers can now test and evaluate new features and bug fixes as soon as possible without having to clone and locally link Taquito. Preview builds are published to our npm preview registry from all pull requests (except PR's from forks).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Preview builds are not official releases. They are helpful for testing and evaluating new features in Taquito. Preview builds may contain incomplete features or features that have not been fully tested.

Fetch multiple bigmaps at once.

Taquito now provides a new API getMultipleValues that fetches multiple keys in a single call. Taquito ensures that all fetched keys are fetched from the same block level. Future enhancements for this feature may include Taquito directly fetching multiple big maps from an RPC call as and when such an RPC is added to the Tezos nodes. See docs here

Expanded property value support for tickets and better nat type support.

The Michelson encoder package initially supported tickets having a value property of type nat, but now it has been updated to support every comparable token. Additionally, when invoking a contract with nat as a parameter, encoding a numeral with more than 21 digits has been fixed.

Save operation hash before executing on the network - better debugging.

Developers now can calculate the hash of an operation before injection using a newly introduced utility from utils package. With this utility, it is possible to obtain the operation hash before sending it to the node.

Forward compatibility for Florence

v8.1 supports Florence net. All the Taquito integration tests are run against the Florence testnet.

Documentation Additions and Improvments

Documentation on the Taquito website continues to grow and be refined. Developers can now read docs explaining what tickets are, their use cases, and example code reading tickets with various data values.

Live code examples on the website now use Edonet.

CodeBlock and Playground folders, along with contracts that work with live code, now rely on the Edonet testnet.

For enabling local pack (MichelCodecPacker()) for big map values, there are now instructions and documentation about the benefits of doing so.

Developers can now opt in to use Taquito's local pack implementation when fetching Big Map values. This feature makes fetching Big Map values 50% faster. Big Map keys need to be serialized or PACK'ed, and Taquito relied on the Tezos PACK RPC to PACK the bigmap keys.

By relying on the local pack implementation, we eliminate one RPC roundtrip when fetching Big Map Values. To enable this feature, developers must call the tezos. setPackerProvider(new MichelCodecPacker()); on the program's TezosToolkit instance.

Website now uses Netlify

Netlify provides the deployment/hosting of the Taquito website. The primary motivation is so that we get full preview deployments of the website from PRs.

More RPC endpoints added to Taquito

New RPC endpoints are added to the Taquito RPC package providing better edonet support while marking endpoints that have been deprecated.

Graceful error handling for getDelegate method and testing improvements.

The Tezos RPC returns an HTTP 404 when requesting a delegate for an account with no Delegate. Taquito now returns null without throwing an exception for this case.

Test coverage for the getBlock endpoint has been improved

What's coming next for Taquito?

We will soon be working on integrating Florence, the next Tezos protocol update proposal. We plan to deliver a final version of Taquito v9 much earlier, giving teams a longer runway to upgrade their projects before protocol transition.

Developer Experience is our high-priority item, and we have improvements in our backlog that we plan to start work. We are improving the `michelson-encoder implementation to open the door for Type generation from contracts and to provide easier discoverability of what parameters endpoints and initial storage take. Stay tuned!

We have a good practice of Continuous Delivery in Taquito, but we plan to take this to the next level. Stay tuned!
