v2.13.0-alpha.2 – Johnnycake Cobblers

Johnnycake Cobblers: another dessert with a weird name. Someone really should cook up all the release names we've used for us Trufflers to try one day! 😋

This release is an alpha release. Why? Because it's been shrinkwrapped by npm v7.0.0-rc.0, which may have unintended side-effects. npm v6 has a couple of bugs that have complicated our releases. The first is that npm install ganache-core installs ganache's devDependencies if they are in the npm-shrinkwrap.json file, even though they are marked as "dev": true. The other bug is that if we npm prune --production before shrinkwrapping and publishing, npm creates an invalid shrinkwrap file; specifically: some entries that should be removed are only partially removed; their name fields remain but their repository fields are missing, which causes npm install ganache-core to crash npm with a Cannot read property 'match' of undefined error. npm v7.0.0-rc.0 produces an npm v6 compatible npm-shrinkwrap.json file, but without these bugs.

This release also ships a new feature: @tynes added the blockHash param to eth_getLogs. Thanks, Mark!

v2.12.2-beta.0 – Peach 🍑 Brown 🏾 Betty 👧

Highlights

v2.12.2-beta.0 – Peach 🍑 Brown 🏾 Betty 👧

Yes, Peach Brown Betty is a real dessert! Naming things, like releases... and desserts, is hard.

Anyway, this release finally brings Node 14 support (and Node 15.0.0-rc.0, too)! Give it a try and let us know if you experience any issues.

Also, snapshot/revert now works properly when forking! If you use ganache's forking feature in your truffle tests you already use ganache's snapshot/revert feature, but you may have experienced some bugs if contracts you interact with deleted/destroyed or otherwise reset data. Thanks to @seesemichaelj's hard work, this bugs should now be fixed! Please open an issue if you run in to any more forking bugs (or any bugs, for that matter)!

Highlights

v2.12.1 – ♦️ Kaju Katli ♦️

Kaju Katli is a dessert from India and is shaped like a diamondEthereum diamond 😃

We've got two new features in this release:

• Add the _chainIdRpc option in order to work around a legacy issue due to inconsistent chainId use in ganache. Set _chainId and _chainIdRpc to the same number to align the value returned by eth_chainId with the chainId used by the EVM.
• Add evm_unlockUnknownAccount and evm_lockUnknownAccount to unlock/lock any unknown account (accounts not known to the personal namespace and accounts other than those returned by eth_accounts). This is an especially useful feature when used with forking in order to masquerade as any account without having to pre-configure unlocked_accounts! Thanks @aaryamannchallani for your PR!

v2.11.2 – Coffee Cake ☕

I just learned that Coffee Cake doesn't taste like coffee?! I've had it a hundred times and never thought about it...

And like coffee, this release will get things done faster! @fubhy's work to improve the performance of forking has resulted in real-world tests running up to 20 times faster than before!

@fubhy also fixed a bug when forking while using accounts with non-zero nonces. These accounts were not initialized properly on start up, resulting in nonce errors when running transactions.

Highlights

v2.10.2 – Queen of Puddings 👑🍮🎂

This updates ganache-core with several small but much needed improvements. As some of you may know, ganache recently included an update to fix the dreaded TypeError: Cannot read property 'pop' of undefined bug. However, in doing so we had inadvertently introduced another subtle bug where a long running ganache instance would hang on shutdown; waiting for the OS to gracefully cleanup any temporary files created during runtime before exiting completely. We quickly fixed this issue with ganache-core version 2.10.1. However :) in doing so we had inadvertently introduced another subtle bug: If the user's tmp dir and ganache's db directory are not located on the same drive/partition then db file writes would fail. We hope that this patch does not inadvertently introduce any subtle bugs.

We also include a bug fix for a long standing issue of JSONRPC compliance. Receipts will no longer include the v, r, and s transaction signature fields.

The patch also includes an update to correct a typo in ganache's options for the hdPath parameter. Big thanks to @GregTheGreek for this PR!!

Finally, we've updated our version of ethereumjs-util to fix a bug in the keccak package for node 12 users.

v2.10.1 – Muir Glacier Mint 🏔️ 🍬 🌿

 Highlights    How to Upgrade    Changelog    Related Releases

Highlights

Muir Glacier Mint 🏔️ 🍬 🌿

This release updates ganache-core's default hardfork to muirGlacier, inline with Ethereum's mainnet and testnet's. As many of you know, the Muir Glacier hardfork is a minor adjustment in the way difficulty was calculated; it was intended only to delay the 'ice age' (by 52 million seconds (~611 days)). Since ganache-core mines with 0 difficulty, users can expect functionality to remain identical to the istanbul hardfork.

Finally, this beta version contains a (potential? 😅) fix to work around an open Merkle Patricia Tree bug from 2016 ethereumjs/merkle-patricia-tree#12! If you do still get the dreaded TypeError: Cannot read property 'pop' of undefined please file an issue with all the details!
