DUNE 1.0.0-rc1 Release Notes

This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE for version 1.0.0.

This release introduces DUNE, Docker Utilities for Node Execution. DUNE is a tool to abstract over nodeos, cleos, CDT, and other services to perform the functions of node management, compiling smart contracts, running tests, and several other common tasks developers need to make smart contracts, now packaged inside of a cohesive and more user-friendly interface.

Upgrading from previous versions

If you have cloned pre-v1.0.0-rc1 you will need to run the ./bootstrap script again to update it and run dune --destroy-container. This will erase the container and start over from the new image, so please export your wallet or nodes that you want to persist.

Features

The full list of commands for DUNE can be accessed in the DUNE Commands section of the readme or by using the -h or --help command inside of DUNE.
