Replaces the yanked 3.1.0
due to issues with supporting both Rust versions < 1.70
and >= 1.70
.
If you intend to use cargo-contract
with Rust >= 1.70
, and deploy to a node with a
version of pallet-contracts
at least polkadot-1.0.0
, then this is the release to use.
If you still want to compile with 1.69
and target an older version of pallet-contracts
then use the previous 3.0.1
release.

stable
Rust toolchain! Don't ask us how we managed to do this 👻.
Secondly, it allows you to build ink! v4.0.0-alpha.1

breaking - change to the ink! ABI as part of paritytech/ink#1313.

cargo contract new
template dependencies to ink!3.0
- #466
We added commands to upload, instantiate and call contracts!
This allows interacting with contracts on live chains with a compatible
pallet-contracts
.
For command-line examples on how to use these commands see #79.
We are introducing a linter for ink! smart contracts in this release!
From now on cargo-contract
checks if the ink! smart contract that is
build
or check
-ed follows certain rules.
As a starting point we've only added one linting rule so far; it asserts correct
initialization of the ink_storage::Mapping
data structure.
In order for the linting to work with your smart contract, the contract has to be written in at least ink! 3.0.0-rc9. If it's older the linting will just always succeed.
- Interact with contracts: upload, instantiate and call commands - #79
- Add linting to assert correct initialization of
ink_storage::Mapping
