Solidity v0.8.7 introduces support for the London upgrade, includes
various improvements to Yul to EVM code transformation, the SMTChecker and some bugfixes.

For more details, see the release announcement.

Language Features:

  • Introduce global block.basefee for retrieving the base fee of the current block.
  • Yul: Introduce builtin basefee() for retrieving the base fee of the current block.

Compiler Features:

  • AssemblyStack: Also run opcode-based optimizer when compiling Yul code.
  • Commandline Interface: option --pretty-json works also with --standard--json.
  • EVM: Set the default EVM version to "London".
  • SMTChecker: Do not check underflow and overflow by default.
  • SMTChecker: Unproved targets are hidden by default, and the SMTChecker only states how many unproved targets there are. They can be listed using the command line option --model-checker-show-unproved or the JSON option settings.modelChecker.showUnproved.
  • SMTChecker: new setting to enable/disable encoding of division and modulo with slack variables. The command line option is --model-checker-div-mod-slacks and the JSON option is settings.modelChecker.divModWithSlacks.
  • Yul EVM Code Transform: Also pop unused argument slots for functions without return variables (under the same restrictions as for functions with return variables).
  • Yul EVM Code Transform: Do not reuse stack slots that immediately become unreachable.
  • Yul Optimizer: Move function arguments and return variables to memory with the experimental Stack Limit Evader (which is not enabled by default).

Bugfixes:

  • Code Generator: Fix crash when passing an empty string literal to bytes.concat().
  • Code Generator: Fix internal compiler error when calling functions bound to calldata structs and arrays.
  • Code Generator: Fix internal compiler error when passing a 32-byte hex literal or a zero literal to bytes.concat() by disallowing such literals.
  • Commandline Interface: Apply --optimizer-runs option in assembly / yul mode.
  • Commandline Interface: Fix crash when a directory path is passed to --standard-json.
  • Commandline Interface: Read JSON from standard input when --standard-json gets - as a file name.
  • Standard JSON: Include source location for errors in files with empty name.
  • Type Checker: Fix internal error and prevent static calls to unimplemented modifiers.
  • Yul Code Generator: Fix internal compiler error when using a long literal with bitwise negation.
  • Yul Code Generator: Fix source location references for calls to builtin functions.
  • Yul Parser: Fix source location references for if statements.
