Ledger API

  • Allow non-alphanumeric characters in Ledger API server participant ids (space, colon, hash, slash, dot). Proper fix for change originally attempted in v0.13.36. See issue issue #3327.
  • Add healthcheck endpoints, conforming to the GRPC Health Checking Protocol. It is always SERVING for now.

Ledger API Server

  • Ledger API Server and Indexer now accept an instance of MetricRegistry as parameters. This gives implementors of ledger integrations the most flexibility to set up metrics reporting that works best for them.
  • Add various metrics to track gRPC requests, command submissions, and state update processing. See #3513.

Daml Ledger Integration Kit

  • Add conformance test coverage for the grpc.health.v1.Health service.
  • Add Ledger API Test Tool [--load-scale-factor]{.title-ref} option that allows dialing up or down the workload applied by scale tests (such as the TransactionScaleIT suite). This allows improving the performance of different ledger over time.
  • The Ledger API Test Tool no longer shows individual test duration colored based on how long they lasted.

Sandbox

  • Add support for JWT tokens that only authorize to read data, but not to act on the ledger.
  • Add CLI options to start the sandbox with JWT based authentication with RSA signed tokens. See issue #3155 .
  • The --auth-jwt-hs256 CLI option is renamed to --auth-jwt-hs256-unsafe: you are advised to _not use this JWT token signing way in a production environment.

Navigator

  • Fixed a bug where the --access-token-file option did not work correctly.

Daml Compiler

  • Bugfix: The Sdk-Version field in a DAR manifest file now matches the SDK version of the compiler, not the sdk-version field from daml.yaml. These are usually the same, but they could be different if you set the Daml_SDK_VERSION environment variable before running daml init or daml build.
  • Make the experimental feature "generic templates" unavailable. The current implementation is at odds with other, more important language features still under development.

Daml Studio

  • Notify users about new Daml Driven blog posts.

Java Bindings

  • Deprecated existing constructors for DamlLedgerClient, please use the static newBuilder method to instantiate a builder and use it to create the client, starting from either a NettyChannelBuilder or a plain host/port pair.
  • Rename DamlMap to DamlTextMap.
  • DamlCollectors class provides Collectors to build more easily DamlList and DamlTextMap.
  • Change the recommended method to convert DamlValue containers from/to Java Bindings containers. See https://docs.daml.com/0.13.38/app-dev/bindings-java/codegen.html for more details the new methodology.

Daml-LF Interface Reader

  • Rename PrimTypeMap to PrimTypeTextMap and PrimType.Map to PrimType.TextMap

JSON API - Experimental

  • Accept a path to a file containing a token at startup for package retrieval. See issue #3627.

Daml Triggers - Experimental

  • Daml Triggers now allow you to specify which templates you want to listen for. This can improve performance.

Daml Script - Experimental

  • Daml Script can now run be used in distributed topologies.
  • Expose the Ledger API exerciseByKey command
