Let’s take a look at what we shipped in May across all of Hiro’s devtools, and share some of our priorities in June.
DevTools
Platform
- Stripe Integration: We’re updating our recently launched API tiers with a better way for you to manage your subscriptions, accounts, and payment information. You’ll now be able to upgrade, downgrade, and autopay directly through a secure Stripe portal on the Platform. Instant self service for all account management needs!
Clarinet
- Faster devnet: Your devnet now boots with all the blockchain history it needs to run your contracts, without the overhead of mining through all early epochs. No configuration changes needed on your end. Start devnet, and instantly start iterating on your contracts.
Stacks.js
- We released version 7.1.2 which fixes the <code-rich-text>makeAuthResponse<code-rich-text>. Due to the now-decommissioned Hiro-hosted Gaia Hub, applications using <code-rich-text>@stacks/wallet-sdk<code-rich-text> functions such as <code-rich-text>restoreWalletAccounts<code-rich-text> and <code-rich-text>makeAuthResponse<code-rich-text> are currently failing. This new release makes Gaia hub profile fetching and uploading in <code-rich-text>makeAuthResponse<code-rich-text> optional.
Infrastructure Services
Stacks Core.
- You might have noticed transactions on Stacks confirming at a much faster rate than a few months ago. That’s because some performance improvements have been implemented in the codebase for Stacks core. The release of <code-rich-text>stacks-node 3.1.0.0.9<code-rich-text> packed a ton of performance improvements to chains-coordinator thread (the thread responsible for all block processing in the stacks-node). Dive deeper into the code enhancements here.
Looking Ahead to July
Here are some of the big things we’re working on in July:
- Testing custom PoX Contracts in Simnet: PoX contracts act as the interface for stackers and the stacking consensus but this has been a challenge simulating locally. This feature will support simulating PoX locally with existing PoX contracts.
- Production readiness for Store and Push integration with the Stacks Blockchain API: Improves resiliency, data ingestion latency, data integrity and re-org handling of our Stacks API.
- Token Transaction ID and Mempool page new designs go live: Key milestones for our ongoing Explorer UI/UX redesign epic to modernize UI and improve performance.
As always, we will be shipping new features and upgrades outside of what’s listed here. Keep an eye out for new updates.
