To Update to 2.1.0


important

Embark's npm package has changed from embark-framework to embark, this sometimes can create conflicts. To update first uninstall embark-framework 1 to avoid any conflicts with npm uninstall -g embark-framework followed by npm install -g embark

to update from 2.0.1:

npm install -g embark@2.1

afterwards make sure embark version returns 2.1.0

In this release


Solc 0.4.0

Embark now uses Solc 0.4. To update your solidity contracts to solc 0.4:

  • Add a version pragma to each file pragma solidity ^0.4.2
  • Change modifiers from _ to _;
  • Add the payable modifier to functions that want to receive ether (constructor & fallback included)

Deployment and Gas estimation

Embark 2.1 improves the deployment system and the automatic gas estimation when using auto. Previously there was a bug with certain contract configurations.

Dashboard improvements

  • Errors with a deployed contract are not displayed in the contract state
  • The current embark version is displayed on the available services
  • Embark now displays the name of ethereum node it's currently connected to in available services.

Misc Bugfixes and Improvements

  • Fixed a bug where contracts with errors were being incorrectly cached & retrieved from chains.json
  • Fixed per-contract gasPrice override in the contracts.json config
  • Fixed Embark contract.deploy() function so it treats no arguments as an empty list of arguments. (i.e contract.deploy() will do the same as contract.deploy([])
  • Fix "deploy": false option, which was not working in certain edge cases
  • Display gas used for deployment in the logs
  • Add more helpful message when a deployment error is caused by a constructor error
