v5.9.1 — Chocolate Bricks

Hello all! 👋

Solidity 0.8.20 is out, and we've started updating Truffle for it! 🧑‍💻 Thanks to @sukanyaparashar for some updates, so new projects created with truffle init will use Solidity 0.8.20! We'll have more updates related to Solidity 0.8.20 soon!

In addition, we've added functions for parsing signatures to our abi-utils library. If you have some function or event or error signatures and you want to parse them to get usable ABI objects, these added functions let you do that! ✂🪡

That's it for this week, see you all again 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
