v5.7.5 — Chocolate chips

Hey everyone! 🫠 This week we're back with another release that mostly takes care of some good old fashioned housekeeping. 🧹

So Solidity 0.8.18 was recently released and there are a couple of updates here to keep up with them. The one of the two worth mentioning is the new block.prevrandao alias (for block.difficulty). This has been added as a globally available variable in the debugger. Additionally, we bumped highlightjs-solidity (which will yield better syntax highlighting) and web3 (woohoo!🎉). We hope you enjoy and we'll see you next time! 👋

How to upgrade

We recommend upgrading to the latest version of Truffle by running:

npm uninstall -g truffle
npm install -g truffle
