Changelog

Documentation of all notable changes to the EVMC project.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

7.1.0 — 2019-11-29

Added

  • Added Java bindings. #455
  • Added MockedHost C++ class (in form of header-only evmc::mocked_host library) which can be used to emulate Host behavior when testing VM implementations. #456
  • In the Rust bindings added more type aliases (MessageKind, MessageFlags, StatusCode, StorageStatus, Revision). #206
  • In CMake the evmc::evmc_cpp target has been added which represents the C++ EVMC API. #470

Changed

  • Require Rust 1.37.0 as a minimum.
  • In the Rust bindings mark read-only functions in ExecutionContext as non-mutating. #444
  • In the C++ HostInterface the logically read-only methods are marked with const. #461
  • Updated dependencies of the Rust bindings to latest stable versions. #462

7.0.0 „Istanbul Ready” — 2019-11-11

This version of EVMC delivers compatibility with Istanbul EVM revision. The ABI breaking change has been required in this case so some other backward-incompatible changes are also included and deprecated APIs have been removed.

Added

  • Support for Istanbul EIP-1344 (CHAINID opcode). chain_id added to evmc_tx_context struct. #375
  • Support for Istanbul EIP-1884 (Repricing for trie-size-dependent opcodes). #372
  • The Berlin EVM revision number has been added. #407
  • In C++ API, an overload for VM::execute() has been added that omits the Host context and interface parameters. This is useful for Precompiles VMs that do not interact with the Host. #302
  • In C++ API, the VM::has_capability() method has been added. #465

Changed

  • The evmc_instance renamed to evmc_vm. #430
  • The evmc_context renamed to evmc_host_context. #426
  • The evmc_host_interface is now separated from evmc_host_context. This simplifies language bindings which implement the evmc_host_interface. #427
  • The evmc::vm renamed to evmc::VM in C++ API. #252
  • Previously deprecated helpers.hpp header file has been removed. #410
  • Previously deprecated EVMC_CONSTANTINOPLE2 and EVMC_LATEST_REVISION revisions have been removed. #411
  • Previously deprecated tracing API has been removed. #429
  • In evmc::instructions library the undefined instructions have 0 gas cost instead of previous -1 value. #425
  • The EVM instruction tables have been redesigned to be more useful. #435
  • The EVMC loader trims all extensions (previously only the last one) from the EVMC module file name. #439
  • The EVMC loader no longer ties to guess the VM create function name by dropping prefix words from the name. #440
  • The helper function evmc_is_abi_compatible() returns now bool instead of int. #442
  • In the Rust bindings make ExecutionContext optional within execute. #350
  • A set of small improvements to C++ API. #445 #449 #451

6.3.1 - 2019-08-19

Added

  • Added LoadAndConfigure method to the Go API. #404

Deprecated

  • Previously deprecated is_zero() helper has been removed, but replaced with new evmc::is_zero() in API compatible way. #406

Fixed

  • In C++ API the get_balance() method now returns expected evmc::uint256be instead of evmc_uint256be. #403
  • Cable upgraded to 0.4.4 to fix incompatibility with older versions. #405

6.3.0 - 2019-08-12

Added

  • Experimental support for Precompiles - EVMC modules containing implementations of Ethereum precompiled contracts. To learn more read the EVMC Precompiles feature description. #267
  • The vm::get_capabilities() method has been added in C++ API. #301
  • A CMake helper for running evmc-vmtester. #303
  • The loader module introduces standardized EVMC module configuration string which contains path to the module and additional options. E.g. ./modules/vm.so,engine=compiler,trace,verbosity=2. A VM can be loaded, created and configured atomically with new evmc_load_and_configure() function. #313
  • Full support for 32-bit architectures has been added. #327
  • The C/C++ API for creating execution results in VMs has been extended to handle common usage cases. #333
  • Support for moving evmc::vm objects in C++ API. #341
  • The basic types address and bytes32 have received their C++ wrappers to assure they are always initialized. They also have convenient overloaded operators for comparison and usage as keys in standard containers. #357
  • The C++ EVMC basic types address and bytes32 have user defined literals. #359 
    auto a = 0xfB6916095ca1df60bB79Ce92cE3Ea74c37c5d359_address;
auto b = 0xd4e56740f876aef8c010b86a40d5f56745a118d0906a34e69aec8c0db1cb8fa3_bytes32;
  • CMake option EVMC_INSTALL (ON by default) to disable installing EVMC targets. This may be useful when EVMC is included in other project as git submodule or subtree. #360
  • The evmc-vmtester tool received support for EVMC module configuration. E.g. evmc-vmtester ./my_vm,mode=interpreter. #366
  • In evmc-vm Rust crate, ExecutionResult now has success, failure and revert helpers. #297 #368
  • Introduction of evmc-declare Rust crate with a procedural macro for easy VM declaration. #262 #316

  • In C++ API evmc::result::raw() renamed to evmc::result::release_raw(). #293
  • In evmc_load_and_create() the error_code is optional (can be NULL). #311

Deprecated

  • The usage of evmc/helpers.hpp has been deprecated. Use evmc/evmc.hpp which provides the same features. #358
  • The tracing API has been deprecated as there have been some design flaws discovered. New API is expected to be introduced in future. #376

Fixed
