v1.2.0 Release

Highlights

• New @algo-builder/web package which provides well known Algo Builder high level functionality to both webapp dapps and algo builder projects. It's compatible with algosigner!
• Creating a TypeScript project using algob init --typescript.
• A bit of TEALv4: Pooled transaction fees support in our runtime!
• Added out of the box support for tealdbg check our debugging TEAL guide.
• Improved multi signatures handling. You can use algob sign-multisig to create or append a new signature. See multisign guide for more details.
• Added deployASADef function to deploy ASA without using /assets/asa.yaml.
• Added yarn run test:watch command. NOTE: it will spawn multiple process in the same terminal session. So if you want to stop the all processes the best solution is to kill the terminal session.

API breaking

• Renamed smart contract related functions by changing the SSC suffix to App. This will affect all code related to deployment or app calls:
  • OptInSSC -> OptInToASA
  • DeleteSSC -> DeleteApp
  • DeploySSC -> DeployApp
  • SSCDeploymentFlags -> AppDeploymentFlags
  • SSCOptionalFlags -> AppOptionalFlags
• Import are changed to scoped imports
  • instead of stringToBytes, you can import a convert namespace (from @algo-builder/algob), and then use convert.stringToBytes
• Types imports for ExecParams, TransactionTypes, SignType moved to new package @algo-builder/web
• Deprecate @algo-builder/types-algosdk and migrate to algorand/js-sdk types. The JS SDK migrated to typescript so we don't need to support any more our SDK TypeScript type definitions.

Dapp templates and solutions

• Added new template /shop to demonstrate a react component (payment widget) to make a purchase and trigger AlgoSigner for signing a transaction.

Examples

• Permissioned Token Added cease function and a script to change permissions app_id.

Tutorials:

• We published a Securities and Permissioned Tokens solution (implemeted using algob): https://developer.algorand.org/solutions/securities-and-permissioned-tokens/.
• Published fifth tutorial in the @algo-builder series, on how to use algob console to quickly and easily interact with ASA and smart contracts: https://developer.algorand.org/tutorials/algo-builder-tutorial-part-5-algob-console/.

Quality Assurance

• Added github workflows/examples.yaml to execute /examples on a private net, on pushing new commit to develop/master branch OR creating a pull request that target these branches.

Infrastructure

• Added new make commands:
  • setup-reach - sets up reach executable file in ~/.algorand-reach directory
  • remove-reach - halts any dockerized dev nets, kills & removes docker instances and containers, remove reach bash file from ~/.algorand-reach.
  • restart-private-net: restarts private-net.
  • indexer-docker-up, indexer-docker-down: Docker based setup for indexer. Runs in read-only mode, without connecting to local algod node.
  • make setup-postgresql: Install postgresql database on a local linux system and setup a new user & database.
  • make start-indexer: Add local indexer binary (downloaded in ~/.algorand-indexer-download) and start the indexer by connecting to database and local algod node.
  • make recreate-indexer: resets the indexer database and runs start-indexer.
  • make remove-indexer: Removes ~/.algorand-indexer-download directory from system.

Bug fixes

• Fixed dependency issues while installing algob using yarn add @algo-builder/algob & npm install @algo-builder/algob.
• web:
  • Added missing fromAccount? attribute to the Sign type.
  • Removed TxParams type from runtime package(it is duplicated in runtime)
