Changelog - mix-v1.0.4

• The DMGs in the last few releases contained stale .app files for Mix. That has been resolved in this release.
• Other than that, the only change was a minor fix from RJ Catalano to match solidity changes.
• Many, many people are having issues with Mix crashing-at-boot on OS X. We are aware, but short of people to troubleshoot. If you can help, please do come to the mix gitter channel and we can coordinate.

Changelog - solidity-v0.3.4

This release mainly makes libraries more flexible in that it allows internal functions to be called.

• Features
  • Allow internal library functions to be called (by "inlining")
  • Fractional/rational constants (only usable with fixed point types, which are still in progress)
  • Inline assembly has access to internal functions (as jump labels)
  • Running solc without arguments on a terminal will print help.
• Fixes
  • Code Generation: Remove some non-determinism in code generation.
  • Code Generation: Corrected usage of not / bnot / iszero in inline assembly
  • Code Generation: Correctly clean bytesNN types before comparison

Please ignore this unannounced release, which was abandoned in favor of v1.2.6.

In this release we mainly focused on the build system and changes not visible to the end-user. The aim is to decouple the various binaries so that they can be built in isolation. For Solidity, some quite important bugs were fixed, so please upgrade.

Changelog

eth:

• removed browser plugin in AlethZero
• support for the Intel compiler on Ubuntu
• support for xcode 7.3 on OS X

solidity (0.3.2):

• largely decoupled from cpp-ethereum
• bugfix: Dynamic arrays of structs were not deleted correctly.
• bugfix: Static arrays in constructor parameter list were not decoded correctly.
• bugfix: Inline assembly parser: byte opcode was unusable
• bugfix: Error reporting: tokens for variably-sized types were not converted to string properly

mix (1.0.3):

• rename to mix-ide to avoid conflict with elixir build tools
• bugfix: transaction arguments for unnamed parameters were not saved correctly

Compatibility Changes and Security Considerations

The native eth Javascript console was removed. Please switch over to use the new ethconsole application or geth attach to control it -- the development release of geth (which will become geth-1.4.0) is needed for this to work. geth-1.3.5 will not successfully connect to eth.

The rpc admin interface of eth should not be used via HTTP any more for security reasons. If you must, you can enable it via a command-line switch (see --help).

AlethZero is still included in this release but will be slowly phased out during the next releases.

This change further simplifies the codebase and removes some components of eth which were unstable or not well maintainable.
These include:

• the built-in javascript console (please use ethconsole instead)
• AlethOne (the "one-click GUI miner") - the idea behind such a project is nice, but the wide range of different GPU hardware and many other factors resulted in AlethOne just not delivering the experience. Please use ethminer on the commandline.

Changelog

eth

• fixed issues where blockchain sync got stuck
• moved lll and libevmasm into solidity repository
• removed the internal javascript console
• implemented eth_pendingTransactions rpc call
• removed compiler rpc calls to simplify dependencies
• improved commandline interface of EVM benchmarking tool (use JIT even when requesting stats)

mix

• show gas estimation for constructor body
• debug button for transaction line (no no need to open the details to start a debugging)
• fixed array decoding
• added arrow-right and arrow-left keys support on the debug slider

solidity

• inline assembly

This is a release that mainly fixes a crash that might occur during the Homestead transition if there are too many non-Homestead nodes. We also further aligned the account management functionality of eth with the one used by geth, so eth wallet and eth account can now be used.

Changelog

AlethOne

• updated version information
• fixed crash when account list is empty(when deleting web3 directory for ex.)
• UI fixes

eth

• fixed sync issues that appear when large forks are present (thanks, @arkpar !)
• Change data dir via -d and move IPC socket with it
• Provide eth wallet and eth account interfaces to wallet similar to geth
• Provide network id via RPC
• Removed StructuredLogger
• Various build fixes
• Change default gas price and block gas limit ethereum/libethereum#201

This is a bugfix release that mainly fixes a bug which prevented syncing up with the testnet ("Morden").This version marks the main release of the Homestead protocol update. As Homestead is a hard fork, versions older than this should not be used for the live network.

Changelog

eth:

• normalize the reported version strings (still in progress)
• removed flu
• Bugfix: set the account start nonce correctly for the testnet
• Bugfix: correctly disable discovery if --no-discovery is given
• Bugfix: use key manager without wallet (courtesy of @smartbitcoin)
• Build fix: ignore deprecation warnings for cryptopp (courtesy of @LefterisJP)

This version marks the main release of the Homestead protocol update. As Homestead is a hard fork, versions older than this should not be used for the live network.

Regarding non-protocol features, the RPC-admin interface of cpp-ethereum now looks more similar to go-ethereum's. Especially, it is possible to use Mist and geth attach with a cpp-ethereum node running in the background. Of course, we also provide a console that does not require geth in the form of a simple nodejs script.
The rpc admin interface of cpp-ethereum should not be used via http anymore because of security reasons. If you must, you can enable it via a commandline switch (see --help).

Changelog

eth:

• set homestead hard fork block number
• implemented admin interface (geth attach can now be used with a running eth node)
• unlockAccount call now takes timeout into account
• mining fix for private networks
• fix admin.exit()
• fix for sendTransaction with certain data formatting
• fix network port parsing in --remote commandline option

Mix:

• gas estimation for constructor
• more accessible debug button for transactions

Solidity:

• Fixed point types (work in progress, by VoR0220)
• inline assembly (work in progress)

AlethOne:

• Fixed some UI layout issues

Alethzero is still included in this release but will be slowly phased out during the next releases.
Also note that eth can now be used with geth attach. This will expose some administration interfaces via IPC (i.e. unix sockets / pipes and not http by default) which are not password protected.
