New Features

Workspaces

^{[ ∧ Back to Contents ]}

You can now save your development blockchains in workspaces. These workspaces contain the configuration of your development chain, along with any Truffle projects you've provided to decode contract and event data. We haven't forgotten the convenience of a one-click blockchain though! Select the QUICKSTART option on the home screen for a familiar Ganache initialization experience.

Contract State Decoding

^{[ ∧ Back to Contents ]}

The new Contracts page contains a list of your smart contracts by project. At a glance we can see the contract's name, address, transaction count, and deployment status.

• Linking a Truffle Project
• Contracts Page

Event Decoding

^{[ ∧ Back to Contents ]}

The new events page shows the events that have fired during this chain's life. We'll try to decode the events if possible. A decoded event will show its name, the emitting contract, hash of the transaction it appears in, log index, and block time. Encoded events will not display decoded names (they appear instead with the generic name Encoded Event) or contract names.

New Options

Hardfork

Ganache now features an option to change the hardfork. Possible options are: Petersburg, Constantinople, and Byzantium.

We mentioned this in the beta.1 notes, but it bears repeating: Ganache 2.0 has been on the drawing board for awhile, and it has taken several months to complete. We'd like to thank the community for their support and patience while we implemented these features! Also thank you to the devs who made this vision happen: @seesemichaelj, @honestbonsai, @adrianmcli, @nicholasjpaterno, @eshaben and @davidmurdoch. 🤗
