Releases ​

v0.19.1 ​

Date: 2024-02-14

This is a bugfix release for macOS.

v0.19.0 ​

Date: 2024-02-12

Features ​

Core ​

  • The Nairobi protocol is now the default protocol.
  • SmartPy is now a Python library, installable with pip as a wheel. See installation for instructions.
  • Various improvements for error messages: better wording, more consistency, more location info.

Language ​

  • New features:
  • Removed the sp. prefix from SmartPy functions whose names coincide with Python built-ins: sum, map, min, max, range. Conversely, trace is now called sp.trace.
  • A new standard library featuring string-integer conversions, rational/fixed-point arithmetic, and more.

Scenario ​

  • More contract syntax in scenarios: sp.cast(x, t), types (sp.int, sp.option[t], etc.), None, sp.Some(x), and sp.variant.<field_name>(<value>).
  • SmartPy errors are now normal Python exceptions and as such can be caught with Python's try/except. This complements the existing _valid and _exception arguments.
  • SmartPy now has a comprehensive system for metadata management: JSON generation, source code uploading, IPFS helpers and source code validity checks.
  • Dynamic contracts: sc.dynamic_contract can now be used to refer to contracts created by other contracts via sp.create_contract.

Web IDE ​

  • Scenario output in GUI: the overall structure has been improved and more context information is included. Addresses now have a copy tooltip.
  • Automatic syntax completion in the IDE has been extended.

Documentation ​

Breaking changes ​

Templates are now shipped under smartpy.templates and are thus imported by from smartpy.templates import template_name. For an example, see test_import.py.

Modules ​

  • The SmartPy set syntax is now the same as in Python. Non-empty sets are written as {x, y, ...}, whereas set() is used for empty sets.
  • sp.get_and_update argument order has been changed to key, value, map.

Scenario ​

  • sp.test_scenario now takes a name as its first argument. This name is also used as the output directory. Arguments to @sp.add_test have been removed.
  • Contract instantiation now requires a scenario, as a consequence, it must occur after the call to sp.test_scenario.
  • The context arguments are now streamlined into the entrypoint call preceded by an underscore, e.g. c.ep(_sender=..., _now=..., _valid=..., _exception=...). .run() is removed. See calls to entrypoints.
  • The scenario utils have been renamed from sp.utils to sp.scenario_utils. (The functions in sp.utils are now part of the standard library.)

Deprecated ​

The following language elements have been deprecated.

  • Contract language:
    • trace, in favor of sp.trace
    • sp.sum, sp.map, sp.min, sp.max, sp.range, in favor of sum, map, min, max, range
  • Scenario:
    • sp.set_type_expr, in favor of sp.cast
    • sp.some(x), in favor of sp.Some
    • sp.none, in favor of None
    • TInt, TRecord etc., in favor of sp.int, sp.record etc.
    • Variant creation with sp.variant("<field_name>", <value>) in favor of sp.variant.<field_name>(<value>)

Bug fixes ​

  • Evaluation order of map key assignment: in m[x] = y, y is now evaluated first.
  • Evaluation order of .apply, .get_opt and .contains: m.contains(x), x is now evaluated before m.
  • Fix list comprehension interpretation when calling a lambda with effects.
  • State backtracking in simulator when an expected error fails to occur.

v0.18.3 ​

Date: 2023-09-09

Change Log ​

  • New sp.modify_record function. See the manual for details.

  • sp.read_ticket now returns the ticket data as a record (with fields ticketer, contents, amount) instead of a triple. See the manual for details.

  • sp.join_tickets now takes two arguments instead of a pair, i.e. sp.join_tickets(t1, t2) instead of sp.join_tickets((t1, t2)). See the manual for details.

  • The current directory is now part of the PYTHONPATH, allowing imports of files in the same directory.

v0.18.2 ​

Date: 2023-06-20

Change Log ​

  • sp.operations() has been renamed to sp.operations, so that it can appear on the left-hand side of an assignment. See operations for details.

  • New sp.set_delegate_operation. See manual operation management for details.

Date: 2023-06-07

Date: 2023-05-09

Changelog ​

Changelog ​

  • A new frontend with parsed syntax:

    • Control statements no longer have to be prefixed by sp.. You can now write if and for, just like in Python.

    • No need for sp.local and x.value anymore: to assign to a variable, you can now write x = 42, just like in Python.

    • In the __init__ function of a contract the storage can now be initialised through assignments, e.g. self.data.x = 42, just like in Python.
