Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

The semantic versioning guarantees cover the interface to the Substrate runtime which includes this pallet as a dependency. This module will also add storage migrations whenever changes require it. Stability with regard to offchain tooling is explicitly excluded from this guarantee: For example adding a new field to an in-storage data structure will require changes to frontends to properly display it. However, those changes will still be regarded as a minor version bump.

The interface provided to smart contracts will adhere to semver with one exception: Even major version bumps will be backwards compatible with regard to already deployed contracts. In other words: Upgrading this pallet will not break pre-existing contracts.

• New version of seal_random which exposes additional information. #8329

[v3.0.0] 2021-02-25

This version constitutes the first release that brings any stability guarantees (see above).

Added

• Emit an event when a contract terminates (self-destructs). #8014

• Charge rent for code stored on the chain in addition to the already existing rent that is paid for data storage. #7935

• Allow the runtime to configure per storage item costs in addition to the already existing per byte costs. #7819

• Contracts are now deleted lazily so that the user who removes a contract does not need to pay for the deletion of the contract storage. #7740

• Allow runtime authors to define chain extensions in order to provide custom functionality to contracts. #7548 #8003

• Proper weights which are fully automated by benchmarking. #6715 #7017 #7361

Changed

• Collect the rent for one block during instantiation. #7847

• Instantiation takes a salt argument to allow for easier instantion of the same code by the same sender. #7482

• Improve the information returned by the contracts_call RPC. #7468

• Simplify the node configuration necessary to add this module. #7409

Fixed

• Consider the code size of a contract in the weight that is charged for loading a contract from storage. #8086

• Fix possible overflow in storage size calculation #7885

• Cap the surcharge reward that can be claimed. #7870

• Fix a possible DoS vector where contracts could allocate too large buffers. #7818
