Full Changelog: 0.18.0...0.18.1

0.18.0

Azle 0.18.0 is a complete rearchitecture of Azle. Most concepts remain the same, but there are many breaking changes in syntax and API. See the examples and The Azle Book for guidance.

Migrating from previous versions

It is best to start from scratch:

1. Delete ~/.config/azle in your home directory
2. Delete .azle in your project root directory
3. Delete .dfx in your project root directory
4. Delete node_modules in your project root directory
5. Start your replica with --clean

What's Changed

• update Boa to latest by @lastmjs in #1026

Full Changelog: 0.16.0...0.16.1

0.16.0

New Features

1. cmake dependency requirement removed
2. cc dependency requirement removed
3. Azle initial prerequisite installation reduced by multiple minutes
4. Subsequent Azle compile times decreased significantly
5. Set Wasm binary optimization levels in dfx.json
6. Environment variables
7. Opt now an algebraic data type
8. Alpha plugin system

Breaking Changes

Opt

Opt is now an algebraic data type. This means its type is no longer type Opt<T> = T | null. Instead, an Opt is a variant with a Some and a None arm.

Before

$query;
export function account(accountArgs: AccountArgs): Opt<Account> {
    const account = state.accounts[accountArgs.id];
    return account ? account : null;
}

Now

$query;
export function account(accountArgs: AccountArgs): Opt<Account> {
    const account = state.accounts[accountArgs.id];
    return account ? Opt.Some(account) : Opt.None;
}

Wasm binary optimization

It is possible that your Azle Wasm binaries are now too small without explicit optimization settings in dfx.json. See here for information on Wasm binary optimization.

What's Changed

• Removed Azle TS Types in favor of SourceMapped types by @dansteren in #998
