Introducing the newest version of the Solidity Compiler!

We are excited to announce the release of the Solidity Compiler Solidity v0.8.25. This release is a small one, and is mainly centered around the Dencun hard-fork that occurred yesterday. On that note, the default EVM version in the compiler is now cancun, and we've also introduced some gas savings via better exploitation of the MCOPY opcode, as well fixing an issue that could result in larger than necessary bytecode.

Changelog

Compiler Features:

• Code Generator: Use MCOPY instead of MLOAD/MSTORE loop when copying byte arrays.
• EVM: Set default EVM version to cancun.
• Yul Analyzer: Emit transient storage warning only for the first occurrence of tstore.

Bugfixes:

• Assembler: Prevent incorrect calculation of tag sizes.
• Commandline Interface: Do not run IR pipeline when --via-ir is used but no output that depends on the IR is requested.
• EVM Assembly Import: Fix handling of missing source locations during import.
• SMTChecker: Ensure query is properly flushed to a file before calling solver when using SMT-LIB interface.
• SMTChecker: Fix internal error caused by not respecting the sign of an integer type when constructing zero-value SMT expressions.
• SMTChecker: Run Eldarica only when explicitly requested with --model-checker-solvers eld, even when it is present on the system.

UPDATE 2024-03-14: The MacOS universal binary originally included here has been rebuilt and replaced due to a missing signature which made it unusable.

The SHA-256 hash of the old binary was ce09577e654628c2b4d00e66bcab7c8a4dc18c1d9812dcbab7bd8572a6d4d27e. The new one is cc3f94a70ac681b0304084acc1980aabe2a1bb3240d44ce76a8df0e1e77a2110.

Introducing the newest version of the Solidity Compiler!
We are excited to announce the latest release of the Solidity Compiler, Solidity v0.8.23.

Changelog

Important Bugfixes:

• Optimizer: Fix block deduplicator bug which led to blocks which are identical apart from the contents of verbatim instructions to be treated as equivalent and thus collapsed into a single one.

Compiler Features:

• Commandline Interface: An empty --yul-optimizations sequence can now be always provided.
• Standard JSON Interface: An empty optimizerSteps sequence can now always be provided.

Introducing the newest version of the Solidity Compiler!
We are excited to announce the latest release of the Solidity Compiler, Solidity v0.8.22.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This release deprecates support for EVM versions older than Constantinople for the reason of ruling out the need to maintain multiple complex code paths or workarounds for ancient EVM versions. In case you rely on the support for such EVM versions, please reach out to us.

Notable Features:

• Unchecked loop increments
• Adding support for importing EVM Assembly JSON (experimental)
• Adjusting Yul optimizer to rematerialize zero literals

Changelog

Language Features:

• Allow defining events at file level.

Compiler Features:

• Code Generator: Remove redundant overflow checks of certain for loops when the counter variable cannot overflow.
• Commandline Interface: Add --no-import-callback option that prevents the compiler from loading source files not given explicitly on the CLI or in Standard JSON input.
• Commandline Interface: Add an experimental --import-asm-json option that can import EVM assembly in the format used by --asm-json.
• Commandline Interface: Use proper severity and coloring also for error messages produced outside of the compilation pipeline.
• EVM: Deprecate support for "homestead", "tangerineWhistle", "spuriousDragon" and "byzantium" EVM versions.
• Parser: Remove the experimental error recovery mode (--error-recovery / settings.parserErrorRecovery).
• SMTChecker: Support user-defined operators.
• Yul Optimizer: If PUSH0 is supported, favor zero literals over storing zero values in variables.
• Yul Optimizer: Run the Rematerializer and UnusedPruner steps at the end of the default clean-up sequence.

Bugfixes:

• Code Generator: Fix output from via-IR code generator being dependent on which files were discovered by import callback. In some cases, a different AST ID assignment would alter the order of functions in internal dispatch, resulting in superficially different but semantically equivalent bytecode.
• NatSpec: Fix internal error when requesting userdoc or devdoc for a contract that emits an event defined in a foreign contract or interface.
• SMTChecker: Fix encoding error that causes loops to unroll after completion.
• SMTChecker: Fix inconsistency on constant condition checks when while or for loops are unrolled before the condition check.

Introducing the newest version of the Solidity Compiler!
We are excited to announce the latest release of the Solidity Compiler, Solidity v0.8.21.

Changelog

Important Bugfixes:

• Code Generator: Always generate code for the expression in <expression>.selector in the legacy code generation pipeline.
• Yul Optimizer: Fix FullInliner step (i) not preserving the evaluation order of arguments passed into inlined functions in code that is not in expression-split form (i.e. when using a custom optimizer sequence in which the step not preceded by ExpressionSplitter (x)).

Language Features:

• Allow qualified access to events from other contracts.
• Relax restrictions on initialization of immutable variables. Reads and writes may now happen at any point at construction time outside of functions and modifiers. Explicit initialization is no longer mandatory.

Compiler Features:

• Commandline Interface: Add --ast-compact-json output in assembler mode.
• Commandline Interface: Add --ir-ast-json and --ir-optimized-ast-json outputs for Solidity input, providing AST in compact JSON format for IR and optimized IR.
• Commandline Interface: Respect --optimize-yul and --no-optimize-yul in compiler mode and accept them in assembler mode as well. --optimize --no-optimize-yul combination now allows enabling EVM assembly optimizer without enabling Yul optimizer.
• EWasm: Remove EWasm backend.
• Parser: Introduce pragma experimental solidity, which will enable an experimental language mode that, in particular, has no stability guarantees between non-breaking releases and is not suited for production use.
• SMTChecker: Add --model-checker-print-query CLI option and settings.modelChecker.printQuery JSON option to output the SMTChecker queries in the SMTLIB2 format. This requires using smtlib2 solver only.
• Standard JSON Interface: Add ast file-level output for Yul input.
• Standard JSON Interface: Add irAst and irOptimizedAst contract-level outputs for Solidity input, providing AST in compact JSON format for IR and optimized IR.
• Yul Optimizer: Remove experimental ReasoningBasedSimplifier optimization step.
• Yul Optimizer: Stack-to-memory mover is now enabled by default whenever possible for via IR code generation and pure Yul compilation.

Bugfixes:

• Code Generator: Disallow complex expressions whose results are types, built-ins, modules or some unassignable functions. The legacy code generation pipeline would not actually evaluate them, discarding any side effects they might have.
• Code Generator: Fix not entirely deterministic order of functions in unoptimized Yul output. The choice of C++ compiler in some cases would result in different (but equivalent) bytecode (especially from native binaries vs emscripten binaries).
• Commandline Interface: Fix internal error when using --stop-after parsing and requesting some of the outputs that require full analysis or compilation.
• Commandline Interface: It is no longer possible to specify both --optimize-yul and --no-optimize-yul at the same time.
• SMTChecker: Fix encoding of side-effects inside if and ternary conditionalstatements in the BMC engine.
• SMTChecker: Fix false negative when a verification target can be violated only by a trusted external call from another public function.
• SMTChecker: Fix generation of invalid SMT-LIB2 scripts in BMC engine with trusted mode for external calls when CHC engine times out.
• SMTChecker: Fix internal error caused by incorrectly classifying external function call using function pointer as a public getter.
• SMTChecker: Fix internal error caused by using external identifier to encode member access to functions that take an internal function as a parameter.
• Standard JSON Interface: Fix an incomplete AST being returned when analysis is interrupted by certain kinds of fatal errors.
• Type Checker: Disallow using certain unassignable function types in complex expressions.
• Type Checker: Function declaration types referring to different declarations are no longer convertible to each other.
• Yul Optimizer: Ensure that the assignment of memory slots for variables moved to memory does not depend on AST IDs that may depend on whether additional files are included during compilation.
• Yul Optimizer: Fix FullInliner step not ignoring code that is not in expression-split form.
• Yul Optimizer: Fix optimized IR being unnecessarily passed through the Yul optimizer again before bytecode generation.

AST Changes:

• AST: Add the experimentalSolidity field to the SourceUnit nodes, which indicates whether the experimental parsing mode has been enabled via pragma experimental solidity.

Introducing the newest version of the Solidity Compiler!
We are excited to announce the latest release of the Solidity Compiler, Solidity v0.8.20.
This latest version includes a range of improvements and, most importantly, support for Shanghai!
It also contains performance improvements in the via-IR pipeline and improves the list of events exposed in the contract ABI.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This compiler switches the default target EVM version to Shanghai, which means that the generated bytecode will include PUSH0 opcodes. Be sure to select the appropriate EVM version in case you intend to deploy on a chain other than mainnet like L2 chains that may not yet support PUSH0, otherwise deployment of your contracts will fail.

Changelog

Compiler Features:

• Assembler: Use push0 for placing 0 on the stack for EVM versions starting from "Shanghai". This decreases the deployment and runtime costs.
• EVM: Set default EVM version to "Shanghai".
• EVM: Support for the EVM Version "Shanghai".
• NatSpec: Add support for NatSpec documentation in enum definitions.
• NatSpec: Add support for NatSpec documentation in struct definitions.
• NatSpec: Include NatSpec from events that are emitted by a contract but defined outside of it in userdoc and devdoc output.
• Optimizer: Re-implement simplified version of UnusedAssignEliminator and UnusedStoreEliminator. It can correctly remove some unused assignments in deeply nested loops that were ignored by the old version.
• Parser: Unary plus is no longer recognized as a unary operator in the AST and triggers an error at the parsing stage (rather than later during the analysis).
• SMTChecker: Group all messages about unsupported language features in a single warning. The CLI option --model-checker-show-unsupported and the JSON option settings.modelChecker.showUnsupported can be enabled to show the full list.
• SMTChecker: Properties that are proved safe are now reported explicitly at the end of analysis. By default, only the number of safe properties is shown. The CLI option --model-checker-show-proved-safe and the JSON option settings.modelChecker.showProvedSafe can be enabled to show the full list of safe properties.
• Standard JSON Interface: Add experimental support for importing ASTs via Standard JSON.
• Yul EVM Code Transform: If available, use push0 instead of codesize to produce an arbitrary value on stack in order to create equal stack heights between branches.

Bugfixes:

• ABI: Include events in the ABI that are emitted by a contract but defined outside of it.
• Immutables: Disallow initialization of immutables in try/catch statements.
• SMTChecker: Fix false positives in ternary operators that contain verification targets in its branches, directly or indirectly.

AST Changes:

• AST: Add the internalFunctionIDs field to the AST nodes of contracts containing IDs of functions that may be called via the internal dispatch. The field is a map from function AST IDs to internal dispatch function IDs. These IDs are always generated, but they are only used in via-IR code generation.
• AST: Add the usedEvents field to ContractDefinition which contains the AST IDs of all events emitted by the contract as well as all events defined and inherited by the contract.

Introducing the newest version of the Solidity Compiler!
We are excited to announce the latest release of the Solidity Compiler, Solidity v0.8.19.
This latest version includes a range of improvements and, most importantly, custom operators for user-defined value types language feature!
It also contains a fix for a long-standing bug that can result in code that is only used in creation code to also be included in runtime bytecode.

Changelog

Language Features:

• Allow defining custom operators for user-defined value types via using {f as +} for T global syntax.

Compiler Features:

• SMTChecker: New trusted mode that assumes that any compile-time available code is the actual used code, even in external calls. This can be used via the CLI option --model-checker-ext-calls trusted or the JSON field settings.modelChecker.extCalls: "trusted".

Bugfixes:

• Assembler: Avoid duplicating subassembly bytecode where possible.
• Code Generator: Avoid including references to the deployed label of referenced functions if they are called right away.
• ContractLevelChecker: Properly distinguish the case of missing base constructor arguments from having an unimplemented base function.
• SMTChecker: Fix internal error caused by unhandled z3 expressions that come from the solver when bitwise operators are used.
• SMTChecker: Fix internal error when using the custom NatSpec annotation to abstract free functions.
• TypeChecker: Also allow external library functions in using for.

AST Changes:

• AST: Add function field to UnaryOperation and BinaryOperation AST nodes. functionList in UsingForDirective AST nodes will now contain operator and definition members instead of function when the list entry defines an operator.

If you want to perform a source build, please only use solidity_0.8.18.tar.gz and not the source archives generated automatically by GitHub.

UPDATE 2023-02-02: The Linux binary originally included here has been rebuilt and replaced due to incompatibility with older Ubuntu releases (Bionic, Focal and earlier). We have recently migrated our CI builds to Ubuntu 22.04, which includes a backwards-incompatible glibc version. Since the Linux binary is not completely static (it dynamically loads Z3 and consequently glibc), it would not run with older glibc when built against newer one. You can find more details in the release blog post and issue #13921.

To be clear: both binaries will produce identical outputs under all circumstances, including the commit hash in the metadata. Only the hash of the compiler binary itself will change due to the replacement, but the new binary will always produce byte-identical output.

The SHA-256 hash of the old binary was a1c0f33eb4482c26f56719ecf62b0ee05d7d7a4f8264ffbddf9ebcd9095c32bd. The new one is
95e6ed4949a63ad89afb443ecba1fb8302dd2860ee5e9baace3e674a0f48aa77.

This release primarily fixes an important bug, but also involves some improvements in code generation, optimizer and in the language server.

For details, please see the release announcement.

Important Bugfixes:

• Yul Optimizer: Prevent the incorrect removal of storage writes before calls to Yul functions that conditionally terminate the external EVM call.

Compiler Features:

• Code Generator: More efficient overflow checks for multiplication.
• Language Server: Analyze all files in a project by default (can be customized by setting 'file-load-strategy' to 'directly-opened-and-on-import' in LSP settings object).
• Yul Optimizer: Simplify the starting offset of zero-length operations to zero.

Bugfixes:

• Type Checker: Fix internal compiler error on tuple assignments with invalid left-hand side.
• Yul IR Code Generation: Fix internal compiler error when accessing the .slot member of a mapping through a storage reference in inline assembly.

Build System:

• Allow disabling pedantic warnings and do not treat warnings as errors during compiler build when -DPEDANTIC=OFF flag is passed to CMake.
• Update emscripten to version 3.1.19.

This release fixes one important bug and contains further minor bug fixes and features.

For details, please see the release announcement.

Important Bugfixes:

• Code Generation: Fix data corruption that affected ABI-encoding of calldata values represented by tuples: structs at any nesting level; argument lists of external functions, events and errors; return value lists of external functions. The 32 leading bytes of the first dynamically-encoded value in the tuple would get zeroed when the last component contained a statically-encoded array.

Compiler Features:

• Code Generator: More efficient code for checked addition and subtraction.
• TypeChecker: Support using library constants in initializers of other constants.
• Yul IR Code Generation: Improved copy routines for arrays with packed storage layout.
