Changelog

Unreleased

This is a development pre-release.

Supported polkadot-sdk rev: unstable2507

Added

• The comprehensive revive compiler book documentation page: https://paritytech.github.io/revive/
• Support for solc v0.8.31.
• Support for the clz Yul builtin.

Changed

• Instruct the LLVM backend and linker to --relax (may lead to smaller contract code size).

• The supported polkadot-sdk release is unstable2507.
• The INVALID opcode and OOB memory accesses now consume all remaining gas.
• Emit the call_evm and delegate_call_evm syscalls for contract calls.

• The call gas is no longer ignored.

v0.5.0

This is a development pre-release.

Supported polkadot-sdk rev: 2509.0.0

Added

• Support for SELFDESTRUCT.

Changed

• Emulated EVM heap memory accesses of zero length are never out of bounds.

• An off-by-one bug affecting SDIV overflow semantics.

v0.4.1

This is a development pre-release.

Supported polkadot-sdk rev: 2503.0.1

Changed

• The ast output is no longer pruned in standard JSON mode (required for foundry).

v0.4.0

This is a development pre-release.

Supported polkadot-sdk rev: 2503.0.1

Changed

• Remove the broken --llvm-ir mode.

• Support for the YUL optimizer details in the standard json input definition.
• The revive-explorer compiler utility.
• revive-yul: The AST visitor interface.

Fixed

• The debug info source file matches the YUL path in --debug-output-dir, allowing tools to display the source line.
• Incosistent type forwarding in JSON output (empty string vs. null object).
• The solc automatic import resolution.
• Compiler panic on missing libraries definition.

v0.3.0

This is a development pre-release.

Fixed

• llvm-context: Bugfix the SAR YUL builtin translation.
• runtime-api: Add the missing memset builtin.

v0.2.0

This is a development pre-release.

Supported polkadot-sdk rev: 2503.0.1

Changed

• Removed the license printer from the resolc binary.
• EVM bytecode is no longer requested from solc (except in test utils) leading to less compilation work in the pipeline.

Fixed

• solc-json-interface: Serializing of any custom key in the JSON input is only skipped if not provided.
• npm package resolution no longer fails with an 'ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED' error for packages defining exports fields in the package.json.

v0.1.0

This is a development pre-release.

Supported polkadot-sdk rev: 2503.0.1

Added

• Add the PolkaVM heap size, stack size and debug info CLI compiler options to the standard JSON settings. This makes the standard JSON input succint for reproducible builds.

Changed

• Supported polkadot-sdk version is now 2503.0.1
• The emsdk version is now 4.0.9

Fixed

v0.1.0-dev.16

This is a development pre-release.

Supported polkadot-sdk rev:c29e72a8628835e34deb6aa7db9a78a2e4eabcee

Added

• Move the npm package from paritytech/js-revive, into this repo. The package @parity/resolc will be deployed to npm for each release.
• Support for solc v0.8.30

Changed

• By default, heavy size optimizations are applied.

Fixed

• @parity/resolc: The solc dependency package is constrained to the latest supported version, preventing breaking the package ever time a new solc package was released.
• The resolc npm package no longer ignores the optimizer settings

v0.1.0-dev.14

This is a development pre-release.

Supported polkadot-sdk rev:c29e72a8628835e34deb6aa7db9a78a2e4eabcee

Added

• The revive-runner helper utility binary which helps to run contracts locally without a blockchain node.
• Allow configuration of the EVM heap memory size and stack size via CLI flags and JSON input settings.

Changed

• The default PVM stack memory size was increased from 16kb to 32kb.

Fixed

• Constructors avoid storing zero sized immutable data on exit.

v0.1.0-dev.13

This is a development pre-release.

Supported polkadot-sdk rev:c29e72a8628835e34deb6aa7db9a78a2e4eabcee

Added

• Support for solc v0.8.29
• Decouples the solc JSON-input-output type definitions from the Solidity fronted and expose them via a dedicated crate.
• --supported-solc-versions for resolc binary to return a semver range of supported solc versions.
• Support for passing LLVM command line options via the prcoess input or providing one or more --llvm-arg='..' resolc CLI flag. This allows more fine-grained control over the LLVM backend configuration.

Changed

• Storage keys and values are big endian. This was a pre-mature optimization because for the contract itself it this is a no-op and thus not observable. However we should consider the storage layout as part of the contract ABI. The endianness of transient storage values are still kept as-is.
• Running resolc using webkit is no longer supported.

Fixed

• A missing byte swap for the create2 salt value.

v0.1.0-dev.12

This is a development pre-release.

Supported polkadot-sdk rev: 21f6f0705e53c15aa2b8a5706b208200447774a9

Added

• Per file output selection for --standard-json mode.
• The ir output selection option for --standard-json mode.

Changed

• Improved code size: Large contracts compile to smaller code blobs when enabling aggressive size optimizations (-Oz).

Fixed

v0.1.0-dev.11

This is a development pre-release.

Supported polkadot-sdk rev: 274a781e8ca1a9432c7ec87593bd93214abbff50

Added

Changed

Fixed

• A bug causing incorrect loads from the emulated EVM linear memory.
• A missing integer truncate after switching to 64bit.

v0.1.0-dev.10

This is a development pre-release.

Supported polkadot-sdk rev: 274a781e8ca1a9432c7ec87593bd93214abbff50

Added

• Support for the coinbase opcode.
• The resolc web JS version.

Changed

• Missing the --overwrite flag emits an error instead of a warning.
• The resolc executable prints the help by default.
• Removed support for legacy EVM assembly (EVMLA) translation.
• integration: identify cached code blobs on source code to fix potential confusions.
• Setting base, include or allow paths in emscripten is now a hard error.
• Employ a heuristic to detect address.transfer and address.send calls. If detected, the re-entrant call flag is not set and 0 deposit limit is endowed.

Fixed

• Solidity: Add the solc --libraries files to sources.
• A data race in tests.
• Fix broken pipe errors.
• llvm-builder: Allow warnings.
• solidity: Fix the custom compiler warning messages.

v0.1.0-dev.9

This is a development pre-release.

Added

Changed

• Syscalls with more than 6 arguments now pack them into registers.

Fixed

• Remove reloading of the resolc.js file (fix issue with relative path in web worker)

v0.1.0-dev.8

This is a development pre-release.

Added

• The revive-llvm-builder crate with the revive-llvm helper utility for streamlined management of the LLVM framework dependency.
• Initial support for running resolc in the browser.

Changed

• Suported contracts runtime is polkadot-sdk git version d62a90c8c729acd98c7e9a5cab9803b8b211ffc5.
• The minimum supported Rust version is 1.81.0.
• Error out early instead of invoking solc with invalid base or include path flags.

Fixed

• Decouple the LLVM target dependency from the LLVM host dependency.
• Do not error out if no files and no errors were produced. This aligns resolc closer to solc.
• Fixes input normalization in the Wasm version.

v0.1.0-dev.7

This is a development pre-release.

Added

• Implement the GASPRICE opcode.
• Implement the BASEFEE opcode.
• Implement the GASLIMIT opcode.

Changed

• The GAS opcode now returns the remaining ref_time.
• Contracts can now be supplied call data input of arbitrary size.
• Some syscalls now return the value in a register, slightly improving emitted contract code.
• Calls forward maximum weight limits instead of 0, anticipating a change in polkadot-sdk where weight limits of 0 no longer interprets as uncapped limit.

Fixed

• A linker bug which was preventing certain contracts from linking with the PVM linker.
• JS: Fix encoding conversion from JS string (UTF-16) to UTF-8.
• The git commit hash slug is always displayed in the version string.

Fixed
