Release of Daml SDK v0.13.20

Documentation

  • Added platform-independent tips for testing

Daml Compiler

  • Some issues that caused damlc test to crash on shutdown have been fixed.
  • The Daml compiler was accidentally compiled without optimizations on Windows. This has been fixed which should improve the performance of damlc and daml studio on Windows.
  • damlc build should no longer leak file handles so ulimit workarounds should no longer be necessary.
  • Allow more contexts in generic templates. Specifically, template constraints can have arguments besides type variables, if the FlexibleContexts extension is enabled.

Daml-LF

  • Breaking Rename NUMERIC back to DECIMAL in Protobuf definition.

Daml Studio

  • damlc ide now also accepts --ghc-option arguments like damlc build so damlc ide --ghc-option -W launches the IDE with more warnings.
  • The VSCode extension now has a configuration field for passing extra arguments to damlc ide.

Daml Integration Kit

  • Participant State API and kvutils was extended with support for changing the ledger configuration. See changelog in respective package.scala files.

Sandbox

  • Fixed a bug that caused the reset service to hang for 10 seconds. See issue #2549.

Java Bindings

  • The Java Codegen now supports parametrized ContractIds. See #2258.

Daml Standard Library

  • Add stripInfix function to DA.List.
