Release of Daml SDK 0.13.52

Daml Assistant

  • The assistant can now do completions for SDK commands, e.g., daml ledger upl<TAB> will complete to daml ledger upload-dar.
  • The new behavior introduced in 0.13.51 to shut down when stdin is closed is now disabled unless you explicitly enable it by passing --shutdown-stdin-close.

Daml Script

  • Add a HasTime instance for Script which allows you to get the current time (UTC in wallclock mode, UNIX epoch otherwise)

Daml Script - Experimental

  • The time mode must now always be specified explicitly. Use --static-time to recover the previous default time mode.
  • Add a sleep function that pauses the script for the given duration. This is primarily useful in tests where you repeatedly call query until a certain state is reached.

Daml SDK

  • Fix computation of witnesses of top-level fetch nodes in scenario results ("known to").

Daml Studio

  • You can now open Daml Studio in the root of a multi-package project instead of opening it separately for each package. Take a look at the documentation for details on how to set this up.

Daml Triggers - Experimental

  • The time mode must now always be specified explicitly. Use --static-time to recover the previous default time mode.

JSON API - Experimental

  • wrap Streaming API events in JSON object: { "events": [ E1, E2, ... ] }. See issue #4384.
  • The format of archived responses from WebSocket endpoints has changed to include template IDs, similar to exercise responses. See issue #4383.
  • Rename JSON API endpoints. See issue #4289 and issue #3145.

    /command/create => /v1/create
/command/exercise => /v1/exercise
/contracts/lookup => /v1/fetch
/contracts/search => /v1/query
/contracts/searchForever => /v1/stream/query
/contracts/lookupForever => /v1/stream/fetch
/parties => /v1/parties

  • Exercise response field "contracts" renamed to "events". See issue #4385.
  • Added streaming version of fetch by key: /stream/fetch. See issue #4705.
  • /contracts/searchForever accepts multiple queries, and includes with each created result the matchedQueries indicating which queries matched. See issue #4363.

Sandbox

  • Fixed a memory leak when using the ResetService; not everything was cleaned up correctly.
  • Preliminary work to rebuild Sandbox on top of the Daml Ledger Integration Kit. Currently not exposed through the CLI.
