v5.6.8 — Gajar Ka Halwa

Hello! 👋

Are you all gazing at the sky 🌌 and thinking about the lovely and cheerful time you had with your friends and family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 at the Thanksgiving dinner? Here comes a new Truffle release 🥳 with a bowl of warm Gajar Ka Halwa (Carrot and Almond Pudding) to add some more sweetness to your thoughts. Yay! 🕺💃

This week, we bring you an important bug 🐛 fix for the Truffle Dashboard 👩‍💻. The layout, where a long, decoded piece of text pushes the buttons away from the screen 👨‍💻, has now been fixed. "Great UI" = "Great user experience!"

Enjoy the warm sweet treat 🥣 ! We'll see you next week with another exciting Truffle release!

How to upgrade

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

npm uninstall -g truffle
npm install -g truffle

• Fix decoding text overflow in Dashboard (#5740 by @cliffoo)

v5.6.7 — Tipsy Tomato Tarts on the Thanksgiving Table

As you journey 🚙 your way to the homes of long-lost friends, call-at-least-once-a-year family members, you ponder over all the possible topics of conversation. You think 🤔 to yourself, "What are we going to talk about?" Jobs? Dinner recipes? Even your signature tomato tarts don't make people "wow" the way they used to. 😑 Your car climbs slowly onto the driveway and comes to a hesitant stop. "Any minute now." You've just moments before the door opens, you better think of something cool to say, fast. Suddenly you get an email, "This can't be...", you become overwhelmed with a sense of relief as you exhale and read the title [trufflesuite/truffle] Release 5.6.7. 🎉 "New Truffle release! I can talk about that all dinner!" Reading into the release notes, you find that...

Truffle Dashboard can now decode 🔍 requests! Yes yes you could pick apart the hex, map bytes to function signatures and project the evm stack and memory locations 👨‍💻 in your mind, but now you don't have to! Now with every transaction sent to the dashboard network, dashboard will try its best to use the Truffle decoder 🦾 and display human-readable decodings, complete with information on what contract, function, and arguments are used. It can also decode other RPC method calls for signatures, namely personal_sign, eth_signTypedData_v3, and eth_signTypedData_v4. ⛱️ So you can sit back, relax, knowing that you signed what you wanted to sign. You can read more about this in #5621

More sourcify networks 🕸️ have been added to the source-fetcher, so it's even less likely to not find the contract source files 🗃️ you're looking for. The behavior for truffle help db [<sub-command>] is also now consistent. 🤙

Dinner time flew by and the food never tasted so good 🍗, your friends and family seem to enjoy your 🍅 tomato tarts more than before. You gaze outside the balcony, thinking about warm apple cider, pumpkins, comfortable sweaters, and the good people that surround you. 🍂 Under the autumn glow, you reflect on good things in life, and look forward to the next Truffle release. 😉

Hello All! 👋

This week, the Truffle release delivers an enhancement 🧰 , a bug fix 🐞 and many internal improvements 👏 .

The enhancement allows users to add compilations to an already existing ProjectDecoder.

v5.6.5 — Slurping noodles in the woods

If a wild Truffle release runs by unnoticed in the woods 🦌, do its legs make a sound? Er, or I mean if it falls on a tree does it makes sound? 🌳 Or something?

Fall cools things down, turns the leaves brown and red, and makes us a bit quieter and introspective. Just a bit like here in the Truffle camp where we've been directing focus inward, deep into the internals of Truffle to make improvements. It's getting better all the time!

Aside from this mass of improvements, there was a bug fixed with the config command. Some problem with a logger was causing it to crash when fetching a value. "Well", we thought, "crashing is no fun!". And because we love fun so much 👻, we fixed it!

One other thing to mention, is that there are some more sourcify networks that got added to the source-fetcher. I suppose this is now a monthly thing for us to grow this list of networks. It is a well-known fact, of course, that "more networks" = "more fun", and you already know how we feel about fun...👯🏼‍♀️

Welp, as mentioned there are also a bunch of improvements to the internals of Truffle. An unnecessary dependency got removed here and some updates were made to the test suite. Some dead code was removed and a README had some improvements made to it. README improvements are fun, right?

So we hope you add some soy sauce, get a forkful, and slurp it down with some noodles. 🍜 Happy Truffling!

v5.6.4 — Peanut Panna Cotta

Hello there 👋

Back at it with our weekly Truffle release. Celebrate the enhancements and bug fixes with a jiggly peanut panna cotta.

To start, let's put our hands 👏 🎊 together for the new e command in Debugger CLI. This command prints recently emitted events, including what emitted them and whether they've been reverted. By default, it prints three events, but it also allows printing more.

Next up, good news for Layer 2 builders; we've added Arbitrum Nova support in truffle debug --fetch-external. There's no stopping us from debugging those verified contracts on the growing L2 networks. 🚀 Bonus tip, in case you didn't know, you can also use the Truffle debugger with Arbitrum Nitro and Optimism!

And thank you so much @eltociear, for helping us catch and fix a typo! 🙇 Your contributions are much appreciated.

That's all for now. See you next week and always happy building!! 🍂

Hello All! 👋

Halloween is just around the corner and we have early treats for you. A new Truffle release 👻, with improvements for you to celebrate.

Firstly, we added support for POA Core to truffle debug --fetch-external.

Secondly, we fixed a bug 🐛 where you could run the console and develop commands while already inside truffle console or truffle develop.

Rounding up the bug front, we fixed an issue that can occur when importing artifacts that don't include sources. Thanks to @ryanc414 🙇 for getting the ball rolling on that! Lastly, thanks to @daviddoswell for fixing a typo in the README. Your contributions are always welcome! 🙏🏻

See you all next week with another release!

How to upgrade

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

npm uninstall -g truffle

v5.6.2 — Warm Sweet Vermicelli Kheer

Hello everyone out there! 👋

With the changing colors of the leaves 🍁 and the feel of the arriving winter ❄️, here we are back with a new Truffle release. We have a couple of bug fixes and an internal improvement served with a warm, sweet, delicious kheer 🥣.

First up is a bug 🐛 fix related to the --verbose-rpc 💬 option. There was an issue in certain cases where you wouldn't get any RPC output when using the console command. Now this should be fixed!

The second fix 🛠️ is that now Truffle will not overwrite objects found in the context whenever it loads the Truffle REPL (truffle develop and truffle console) 🖥️. For example, previously, if you had a contract whose name coincided with a built-in Node or Javascript object (say, Buffer), the contract abstraction would overwrite the built-in object on truffle console start-up, which could cause a number of problems. Now, this won't happen; if you encounter a collision like this, you'll have to get the contract abstraction via artifacts.require.

That is all for this week. See you next week with another delicious treat 🤤.

How to upgrade

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

npm uninstall -g truffle
npm install -g truffle

Changelog

Bug fix

• Respect REPL context variables when setting up REPL context (#5573 by @eggplantzzz)
• Patch/wrap the sendAsync method when wrapping provider (#5618 by @lsqproduction)

Internal improvements

• Turn on strict null checks in compile-common (#5624 by @haltman-at)

v5.6.0 — Freaky forgotten frozen freezer fudge

Hello all you fine people out there!👋

This week we're back and mainly have some maintenance updates for y'all.🔧 Most notable is a fix for @truffle/hdwallet-provider. There was a faulty check when it would try to parse and ingest some parts of the user's input. We have to give a shoutout to our friend @RyanCavanaugh for spotting this and providing a fix!

Additionally, Truffle now fully supports Node 18! That being the case, we've also finally dropped support for Node 12...I know, I know, we announced it a long time ago ⏰ but we wanted to make sure Truffle was cleanly supporting Node 18 before discontinuing support for Node 12!

One more thing to note: @truffle/db now uses indexeddb instead of sqlite for persistence. If you are a @truffle/db user and have issues, please open a GitHub issue and we'll be happy to help!

That's about it for now. We'll see you next week with another morsel to add to your plate.🍛 Cheers!

How to upgrade

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

npm uninstall -g truffle
npm install -g truffle
