This page contains release notes for the SDK.

• Java Codegen: Leaner log output and flag for log verbosity -V LEVEL or --verbosity LEVEL, where LEVEL is a number between 0 (least verbose) and 4 (most verbose).

• Change in how values are addressed in Navigator's frontend-config.js.

  • Old syntax for accessing values: argument.foo.bar

  • New syntax:

    import { DamlLfValue } from '@da/ui-core';
    // Accessing field 'bar' of field 'foo' of the argument
    DamlLfValue.evalPath(argument, ["foo", "bar"])
    DamlLfValue.toJSON(argument).foo.bar

• DAML standard library (breaking change): Removed DA.List.split function, which was never intended to be exposed and doesn't do what the name suggests.
• Java Bindings (breaking change): Removed type parameter for DamlList and DamlOptional classes. The DamlList, DamlOptional, and ContractId classes were previously parameterized (i.e DamlList[String]) for consistency with the DAML language. The type parameter has been removed as such type information is not supported by the underlying Ledger API and and therefore the parameterized type couldn’t be checked for correctness.
• Java Bindings (breaking change): For all classes in the package com.daml.ledger.javaapi.data, we shortened the names of the conversion methods from long forms like fromProtoGeneratedCompletionStreamRequest and toProtoGeneratedCompletionStreamRequest to the much shorter fromProto and toProto.
• Navigator: Add support for Optional and recursive data types.
• Navigator: Improve start up performance for big DAML models.
• Navigator (breaking change): Refactor the GraphQL API. If you're maintaining a modified version of the Navigator frontend, you'll need to adapt all your GraphQL queries to the new API.
• Navigator: Fix an issue where it was not possible to enter contract arguments involving contract IDs.
• Navigator: Fix issues where the console could not read some events or commands from its database.
• DAML syntax (breaking change) : For the time being, datatypes with a single data constructor not associated with an argument are not accepted. For example data T = T. To workaround this use data T = T {} or data T = T () (depending on whether you desire T be interpreted as a product or a sum).
