  • barnard feature for smart contracts, can be enabled in the contract's Cargo.toml or sc-config.toml;
  • Blockchain API new features:
    • Code hash API;
    • Block info:
      • Timstamps in milliseconds: get_block_timestamp_ms, get_prev_block_timestamp_ms, epoch_start_block_timestamp_ms;
      • Block round time: get_block_round_time_ms;
      • Epoch start info: epoch_start_block_timestamp_ms, epoch_start_block_nonce, epoch_start_block_round.

      • get_esdt_token_data provides the token type supplied by the protocol;
      • EsdtTokenType updated with new ESDT types (meta & dynamic tokens).
  • New transaction mechanisms:
    • Fallible synchronous call;
    • Fallible transfer-execute;
    • Both are integrated in the unified syntax;
    • Simplified several scenarios by routing all through the fallible tx VM hooks.
  • Optimisations:
    • Multi-transfer call value including the direct EGLD is now provided by the VM directly.
    • Direct conversion between ManagedBuffer and i64 (small integer) now provided directly by the VM.
• Back transfers now support multi-transfers with EGLD properly
  • New BackTransfer structure contains back-transfers as a multi-transfer list;
  • It contains methods to filter and extract EGLD or single ESDT values;
  • New implementation of ReturnsBackTransfers and ReturnsBackTransfersReset, which work with this payment list;
  • ReturnsBackTransfersEGLD now supports multi-transfer;
  • Old implementations renamed to *Legacy.
• New proxies for system smart contracts:
  • Governance system SC;
  • Delegation system SC.
• Core crate updates:
  • Bech32Address:
    • Deduplicated and moved to the core crate, guarded by a std feature;
    • Support for custom HRP;
  • BLSKey and BLSSignature types, to help the interaction with the delegation contract.
• sc-meta:
  • Support for building contracts with std library;
  • test-gen support for #[should_panic] annotation.
• Validator processing in the SDK, including parsing from pem.
• Event log name can now be empty or missing in declaration, the method name will be used in this case.
• Fixed a bug in mandos-rs, it was not handling a failing scQuery properly.
• Codec: improved multi-value length handling.

sc 0.58.0, codec 0.22.1, chain 0.15.0, sdk 0.10.0

• Rust VM and debugger redesign:
  • VM major refactoring: runtime, execution, debugger, VM hooks handler;
  • Integration of the new executor interface: new instance, executor & VM hooks interfaces;
  • Early exit mechanism for VM hooks;
  • Integration of Wasmer 2.2 production code, via an adapter;
  • Integration of Wasmer 6, as an experimental alternative, but more stable in tests;
  • Mechanism for running blackbox and mandos-rs tests with compiled contracts (.wasm);
  • Mechanism for running the same test via the debugger as part of the Rust test suite, and via Wasmer as part of the Wasm tests;
  • Crude metering, as a proof-of-concept, will be refined in the future. Gas schedule can be configured.
  • New feature compiled-sc-tests to replace run-go-tests.
• Build system:
  • Opcode validator, as a post-build automated process. It detects and signals the usage of non-whitelisted WASM opcodes.
  • WASM target:
    • Default target is now wasmv1-none instead of wasm32-unknown-unknown. This is to allow upgrading to Rust 1.87, which uses LLVM 20 and normally emits bulk memory opcodes, which are currently unsupported on MultiversX. This change prevents these opcodes to be emitted.
    • A mechanism for overriding the default target, per contract, in sc-config.toml.
    • Target will be autoinstalled upon build, if missing.
• sc-meta new test argument: -w or --wasm, to run tests based on compiled smart contracts; replaces --go.
• Improved interactor error handling.
• Back-transfer object cloneable.
• Fixed typos.
• Updated dependencies.

sc 0.55.0, codec 0.21.2, chain 0.12.0, sdk 0.8.0

• Integrating Spica changes into the framework:
  • EGLD+ESDT multi-transfers are now possible:
    • changed the handling of call values: EGLD is treated almost the same as an ESDT in all_transfers and multi_egld_or_esdt, old ESDT methods are given some protection against unexpected scenarios
    • changed the tx unified syntax for sending EGLD+ESDT from contracts, interactors and tests;
    • support in the Rust VM.
  • New built-in functions in the ESDTSystemSCProxy: ESDTModifyRoyalties, SDTSetNewURIs, ESDTModifyCreator, ESDTMetaDataRecreate, ESDTMetaDataUpdate.

  • Simplified the callback selector;
  • Performance improvements in ManagedVec iterators;
  • Removed some unnecessary bound checks in multi_esdt.
