[0.13.1] - 2024-03-01

Changed

• Upgrade ic-cdk-macros to v0.9.0.

[0.13.0] - 2024-03-01 (yanked)

Added

• Add is_recovering_from_trap function for implementing trap cleanup logic. (#456)
• Allow setting decoding quota for canister endpoints and inter-canister calls. (#465)
  • When defining canister endpoints, we add the following attributes: #[update(decoding_quota = 10000, skipping_quota = 100, debug = true)]
    • skipping_quota limits the amount of work allowed for skipping unneeded data on the wire. If this attributes is not present, we set a default quota of 10_000. This affects ALL existing canisters, and is mainly used to improve canister throughput. See docs on the Candid library to understand the skipping cost.
    • decoding_quota limits the total amount of work the deserializer can perform. See docs on the Candid library to understand the cost model.
    • debug = true prints the instruction count and the decoding/skipping cost to the replica log, after a successful deserialization. The decoding/skipping cost is logged only when you have already set a quota in the attributes. The debug mode is useful to determine the right quotas above. Developers can send a few large payloads to the debugging endpoint and know the actual decoding cost.
  • When making inter-canister calls, we have a new function call_with_config to config the same decoding quotas described above. It's strongly recommended to use call_with_config when calling third-party untrusted canisters.

Changed

• ic_cdk::api::call::arg_data takes ArgDecoderConfig as argument. (#465)

[0.12.1] - 2024-01-12

Changed

• Add "reserved cycles" fields to the management canister API: (#449)
  • reserved_cycles to CanisterStatusResponse
  • reserved_cycles_limit to CanisterSettings and DefiniteCanisterSettings

Fixed

• The README file is now more informative and used as the front page of the doc site.
• The call* methods are documented with examples and notes.

• query_stats in canister_status response. (#432)

[0.11.3] - 2023-10-12

Added

• Another type of performance counter: "call context instruction counter". Can be fetched using either method below: (#435)
  • ic_cdk::api::performance_counter(1);
  • ic_cdk::api::call_context_instruction_counter() as a shorthand;

Changed

• Deprecate ic_cdk::api::call::performance_counter() in favor of ic_cdk::api::performance_counter(). (#435)

[0.11.2] - 2023-10-11

Added

• cycles_burn corresponding to system API ic0.cycles_burn128. (#434)

Changed

• Upgrade ic0 to 0.21.1. (#434)

[0.11.1] - 2023-10-11

Changed

• Upgrade ic0 to 0.21.0. (#433)

[0.11.0] - 2023-09-18

Changed

• Candid Export workflow is changed. (#424)
  • No need to compile for WASI separately.
  • Canisters should still invoke ic_cdk::export_candid!() to export candid.
  • Then use candid-extractor to extract candid from the canister WASM.

[0.10.0] - 2023-07-13

Changed

• Upgrade candid to 0.9. (#411)
• Remove export module. Please use candid directly in your project instead of using ic_cdk::export::candid.
• Remove ic_cdk_macro::import module. See below for a new way to import canisters.

Added

• Export Candid: (#386)

  • A wasi feature that builds the canister as a standalone WASI binary. Running the binary in wasmtime outputs the canister interface
  • Build step:

  cargo build --target wasm32-unknown-unknown \
      --release \
      --package "$package" --features "ic-cdk/wasi"
  
  wasmtime "target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/$package.wasm" > $did_file
  
  cargo build --target wasm32-unknown-unknown \
      --release \
      --package "$package"
  
  ic-wasm "target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/$package.wasm" \
      -o "target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/$package.wasm" \
      metadata candid:service -v public -f $did_file
  

  • In the canister code, users have to add ic_cdk::export_candid!() at the end of lib.rs. In the future we may lift this requirement to provide a better DX.

• Import Candid: (#390)

  • Canister project adds ic_cdk_bindgen as a build dependency to generate canister bindings
  • build.rs

  use ic_cdk_bindgen::{Builder, Config};
  fn main() {
      let counter = Config::new("counter");
      let mut builder = Builder::new();
      builder.add(counter);
      builder.build(None);  // default write to src/declarations
  }
  

  • In the canister code,

  mod declarations;
  use declarations::counter::counter;
  
  counter.inc().await?
