Truffle v5.5.27 — Knickerbocker Glory 🍧

[kevinbluer]

Hello again! 👋

It's that time of the week for a delicious new Truffle release 🍧

Ever wanted to use the Truffle Debugger within a Hardhat project? Well this release introduces a new package that does just that! 🔥 To try it out, simply run truffle debug <txHash> and Truffle handles the rest. This is an experimental feature so there may be 🐉's and as always we'd love your feedback!

The files generated by truffle init have been updated and now better reflect the scenarios in which Truffle is commonly used. 🎨 Beyond that we've added the godwoken mainnet when using debugger's --fetch-external flag. There's also an update to the debugger's block.difficulty calculation in preparation for the merge.

Shout out to @eltociear for typo fix in compilations/types.ts too! 🙏

That's all for now! See you next week for another candy-fueled installment.

How to upgrade

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

npm uninstall -g truffle
npm install -g truffle
