0.30.2-beta.0

Improve frontend canister sync logic

Previously, committing frontend canister changes happened in multiple batches defined by simple heuristics that would likely not exceed the ingress message size limit.
Now, the ingress message size limit is respected more explicitly, and also a limit of total content size per batch since all content in the batch newly gets hashed in the canister.

Dependencies

Motoko

Updated Motoko to 0.16.3

Candid

Updated candid_parser to 0.2.4.

0.30.1

feat: asset sync now prints the target asset canister state hash in --verbose mode

If an asset canister is updated and --verbose is enabled, dfx will now print the state hash of the local assets before syncing. Calling compute_state_hash on the asset canister after syncing will eventually return the same hash.

feat: support dogecoin for the local dev environment

You can now launch a network with dfx start --enable-dogeoin to run the dogecoin
integration locally.

feat: improved the canister snapshot download/upload feature

Improved the canister snapshot download/upload feature by

• adding progress bars to snapshot download/upload
• streaming snapshot download/upload directly to/from disk.
• supporting download/upload with resuming.
• supporting download/upload with concurrency, default to 3 tasks in parallel.

fix: use pocket-ic to init BTC canisters

The custom logic was prone to becoming outdated, such as not adapting to changing cycles fees.
By using pocket-ic, which gets updated frequently, the BTC integration is significanly less likely to break.

fix: dfx start --enable-bitcoin will add --bitcoin-node 127.0.0.1:18444 unless nodes are specified in dfx.json

chore: Bump cdk to 0.19 in project template.

feat: list returns more info about assets

Asset info now contains the fields max_age: opt nat64;, headers: opt vec HeaderField;, allow_raw_access: opt bool;, and ``is_aliased: opt bool;` in addition to the previously returned ones.

feat!: list is now paginated

list now returns info about up to 100 assets instead of all assets in the canister. start allows specifying the offset at which the list of assets should start. length allows specifying a smaller limit if e.g. headers are too large to return the default number of assets. The full argument to list is now (record { start: opt nat; length: opt nat }).

feat: compute_state_hash

The function compute_state_hash works similar to compute_evidence, but instead of computing a hash over a batch of changes, it computes a hash over the full asset canister content. This can be used to verify the integrity of assets e.g. between a live and a local deployment. (This will only work if builds are deterministic. If there are e.g. timestamps hidden in filenames then hashes will not match.)

feat: get_state_info returns last asset change timestamp and state hash

feat: dfx start --system-canisters for bootstrapping system canisters

This new flag utilizes the built-in system canisters bootstrapping capability provided by PocketIC v10.
dfx nns install is not needed anymore.

When using dfx start --system-canisters, there's no option to specify accounts to have initial balances like you can with dfx nns install --ledger-accounts <account-ids>.
However, the anonymous identity's account comes with an initial balance of 1 Billion ICP. You can transfer some of these ICP tokens to your own account on the ICP ledger. Then convert some ICP into cycles balance on the cycles-ledger.
