Version 0.8.6
Solidity 0.8.6 fixes some non-critical but annoying bugs, especially a warning about unreachable code that
is in fact reachable.
For more details, please see the release announcement.
Language Features:
- Yul: Special meaning of
".metadata"
data object in Yul object.
Bugfixes:
- Control Flow Graph: Fix incorrectly reported unreachable code.
- Solc-Js: When running
solcjs
without the--optimize
flag, usesettings.optimizer.enabled=false
in Standard JSON instead of omitting the key. - Standard JSON: Omitting
settings.optimizer.enabled
was not equivalent to setting it tofalse
. It meant disabling also the peephole optimizer and jumpdest remover which by default still run withenabled=false
.
