v5.5.28 — Saltier Saltwater Taffy

Hello all! 👋

This week sees a large-scale revamp of Truffle Dashboard. 🏎 It's faster with fewer interruptions; it has a 🌙 dark mode; and your wallet will no longer disconnect upon refresh. These are only some of the ways that Truffle Dashboard has been improved; you may want to check out the PR for details!

See what it looks like!

Meanwhile, other improvements continue apace! ⛵ The commands truffle --version and truffle -v should now work correctly, in addition to the already-supported syntax of truffle version. The --fetch-external option for Truffle Debugger now supports fetching Etherscan-verified contracts from the Gnosis network. 🦉 And for those of you using the @truffle/abi-utils library, we've added functions for computing signatures and selectors. ✍

Finally, thanks to @ebrahimmfadae for spotting and fixing a deployer error that could occur when using the overwrite option!

That's all for this week, but as always we'll be back soon with more!

How to upgrade

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

npm uninstall -g truffle
npm install -g truffle
