0.6.0

This release focuses on removing the workarounds and necessary caveats in place because of the small Wasm binary limit implemented by the Internet Computer Protocol. This limit has been substantially lifted by the protocol itself, thus we were able to remove our workarounds. We've also made the initial installation process simpler and more robust.

New Features

• ic-wasm has been removed
• there is no longer a post_install step
• memory ids 0, 1, 2, 252, 253, and 254 are no longer reserved
• encrypted dfx identities are now supported
• guard functions now only allowed on query and update methods
• Wasm module hash caveat removed
• ic.caller() now correct in init and post_upgrade
• metadata is now defined by the developer in dfx.json, no Kybra version is exposed
• init and post_upgrade caveats removed

Breaking Changes

The post_install canister property should no longer be used in the dfx.json file, and we now recommend a metadata canister property in the dfx.json file.

Example:

{
    "canisters": {
        "simple_erc20": {
            "type": "custom",
            "build": "python -m kybra simple_erc20 src/main.py src/main.did",
            "candid": "src/main.did",
            "wasm": ".kybra/simple_erc20/simple_erc20.wasm",
            "gzip": true,
            "metadata": [
                {
                    "name": "candid:service",
                    "path": "src/main.did"
                },
                {
                    "name": "cdk:name",
                    "content": "kybra"
                }
            ],
            "declarations": {
                "output": "test/dfx_generated/simple_erc20",
                "node_compatibility": true
            }
        }
    }
}
