v5.4.7 – One-of-a-kind, masterpiece birthday cake (signed by the pastry chef, herself)

[gnidan]

Happy weekend, all! 😎

We're pleased to bring you another weekly Truffle release, this time with support for eth_signTypedData inside @truffle/hdwallet-provider. In case you're not familiar, this functionality (defined in EIP-712) allows applications to use users' Ethereum accounts to sign structured data, without requiring those users to submit on-chain transactions that cost real gas money ⛽ 😱 ! Now it's gotten a bit easier to test applications that make use of this functionality: use @truffle/hdwallet-provider, and it will handle the signatures for you. Big thanks to @theperfectpunk for implementing this and to @selimerunkut for helping us make sure this feature meets acceptance criteria 🙏.

Apart from that, this release includes a couple bug fixes related to Truffle's console output (sometimes Truffle was producing console output when it shouldn't have; this release now means there's less of that!) 🤫

Check the changelog below for more! As always, we hope your blockchain application development brings you joy and fulfillment. Until next time! 👋

How to upgrade

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

npm uninstall -g truffle
