The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

0.59.0 - 2020-03-27

Changed

  • The TypeScript code generated by sic now has better support for the immutable-js data structures, in particular the immutable.Map that CSL maps are represented as.
  • sic generated contract operations for DbLedger now returns tags when applying events.
  • Event agents are now validated against contract participants on DbLedger.

Fixed

  • The automatically generated equality functions do not depend on the standard library anymore.

0.58.0 - 2020-03-09

Added

  • sic now generates TypeScript classes for template entrypoints, including a static instantiate method.

Changed

  • CSL reports that are called externally (with, e.g., sic) must be marked with the new report keyword.
  • Contract templates that are used as entrypoints (from, e.g., sic) must be marked with the new entrypoint keyword.
  • Event application on the DbLedger through the API now always return a tag. Previously it was only when a tag was included in the input.

Fixed

  • Corrected a substitution bug the in report query language that caused wrong results whenever a variable unified with a term which itself contained variables.
  • Corrected an issue in DbLedger that caused wrong external symbols to be used in event application.

0.57.0 - 2020-02-21

Added

  • The deondigital/vitznauerstock Docker image now includes drivers for PostgreSQL.
  • sic now exposes a field instantiationTime on ContractInstance objects.
  • The TypeScript code generated by sic now contains copy methods with named parameters for classes which represent CSL records.
  • Built-in Map data type with accompanying standard library functions.
  • sic now generates Kotlin classes for template entrypoints, including a static instantiate method.

Changed

  • The performance and disk usage of the DbLedger backend has been improved.

0.56.0 - 2020-02-10

Added

  • The Deon webservice now has the endpoint /declaration/{id}/namedReport for invoking a report in a declaration by its qualified name and a list of value arguments.

Changed

  • sic now reports a ContractInstanceNotFound instead of a general exception if a non-existing contract id is used in getContractInstance.
  • the sic type ContractInstance now includes a function for retrieving nextEvents for a contract.
  • nextEvents now include the event predicate and agent as an Exp type.

Fixed

  • Corrected a bug in the type checker that caused it to fail to reject = on records that contained fields for which we cannot use =.
  • Corrected a bug that caused lists that are returned from queries to be wrongly encoded, thereby causing runtime errors.

0.55.0 - 2020-01-28

Added

  • Signature backend to sic that emits as JSON the types of all top-level declarations.

Changed

  • The API endpoints for running reports have been moved from /contracts/{id}/report (/contracts/report) to /declarations/{id}/report (/declarations/report), reflecting the fact that running a report requires just the declaration, not an instantiated contract.
  • The object that represents an instantiated contract now includes the peers that were specified on instantiation.

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug that caused the surface-to-core translation to crash if one used = on a type alias for a built-in type.

0.54.0 - 2020-01-15

Added

  • sic and the gradle-sic-plugin now support deon-project for Corda and Kotlin.

Changed

  • The equality operator = now works on any closed type that does not contain function or Signed types.

Removed

  • The standard library functions Int::equals, Float::equals, String::equals, and DateTime::equals have all been removed.

0.53.0 - 2020-01-09

Added

  • New asynchronous API client.

Changed

  • Update the RESTContractOperations generated by sic to use the asynchronous API client.
  • Reports and contract entrypoints that can be called from the outside must have monomorphic types.

Fixed

  • It is now possible to pass record values that are subtypes of the expected argument value to reports and template instantiations.

0.52.0 - 2019-12-03

Added

  • CSL now supports type annotations on top-level val declarations: val x : Int = 42.

Changed

  • The sic emitters for Kotlin and Corda now generate wrapper classes for the ledger-specific representations of Agent and ContractId to make it possible to use the same code on top of both DBLedger and Corda.
  • The API type Contract now contains the fields entryPoint and instantiationArguments.
  • The sic emitters for Kotlin and Corda generate the ContractOperations interface and RESTContractOperations/CordaContractOperations implementations which can be used to interact with the sic-generated contract API in a ledger-agnostic way.

0.51.0 - 2019-11-22

Added

  • The TypeScript code generated by sic now contain factory methods for creating objects with named parameters.
  • The Kotlin code generated by sic now contains copy methods with named parameters for classes which represent CSL records.
  • CSL now supports type aliases: typealias MyType a = Tuple a Int.

Changed

  • Ontology backend to sic was changed to output only type definitions instead of the internal contract descriptors of sic.
  • Code generated by sic now inspects API values for their actual types when deserializing, instead of statically deserializing values to their indicated type. This means that a record MyEvent can be correctly deserialized from a value that is statically typed as Event but dynamically tagged as MyEvent.
  • The gradle-sic-plugin has been updated to better handle multiproject builds.

0.50.0 - 2019-11-08

Changed

  • The csl-plugin has been removed. It is superseded by the new gradle plugin gradle-sic-plugin.
  • sic output is now available when using --info with the gradle plugin.

Fixed

  • sic no longer generates optional parameters for the TypeScript target which caused problems when mixing optional and required parameters.

0.49.0 - 2019-10-29

Added

  • New record extension syntax for carrying over some of the fields of an existing record into a new one: R { use x with a = 1, b = 2 }.

Fixed

  • Corrected a bug that prevented instantiation of contracts with sic generated code on Corda nodes.

0.48.0 - 2019-10-24

Added

  • DateTime::dayCountFraction can now handle the Act/Act ICMA convention.

Fixed

  • Corrected a bug in toContractAST that caused a crash when working with nullable or branches.

Changed

  • The concept of “pseudo value” has been removed in favor of “external objects”. Bound names are no longer to be specified for agents, contracts, etc. represented as CSL values.
  • The DateTime::dayCountFraction function now only takes one parameter. The usual from and to parameters should now be applied to the convention constructor. I.e. DateTime::dayCountFraction (DateTime::ActActISDA #2007-12-28# #2008-12-28#).

0.47.0 - 2019-10-10

Fixed

  • Corrected a bug in DayCountFraction calculations that occurred when start and end dates are in the same year.
  • Fixed a bug in sic that caused it to not generate code for reports and entry points that use one of the built-in types as input or output types:
    • Ordering,
    • DateTime::DayOfWeek, DateTime::Components, DateTime::DayCountFraction,
    • Event,
    • Duration::Components,
    • RuntimeError.

0.46.0 - 2019-09-27

Removed

  • The sic-maven-plugin has been removed. It is superseded by the gradle plugin csl-plugin.
  • The standard library function getEvents has been removed.

0.45.0 - 2019-09-03

Fixed

  • Corrected a bug in DateTime::dayCountFraction.

Changed

Added

  • A list of past events was added to the contract view in the webapp.

0.44.0 - 2019-09-03

Added

  • Added the standard library function DateTime::dayCountFraction that calculates Day Count Fraction for a number of conventions.

Changed

  • The sic “JSON” emitter has been renamed to “CoreAST”.

Fixed

  • Corrected a bug in the publication settings for one of the JAR dependencies which caused the generated CorDapps to break.

0.43.0 - 2019-08-19

Added

  • Ontology backend to sic that emits as JSON the intermediate contract descriptor used by the sic emitters.

Changed

  • The sic-generated Kotlin code does not generate an interface with *Impl class implementations, but just the class implementations directly without the *Impl suffix.
  • The structure in multi-file deon-projects is now more closely reflected in sic-generated TypeScript/Kotlin code.
  • Both the TypeScript and Kotlin code generated by sic introduces an addDeclaration function for putting a CSL declaration on the ledger. The instantiation classes now require a declaration id in their constructors.
  • When sic outputs the JSON-representation of an AST to standard out it does not include the separator strings that are invalid JSON.

Fixed

  • Corrected a bug in the build setup that rendered the Maven-published JAR of deon-api-client unusable.

Added

  • The LSP server now supports go to definition.
  • Added an endpoint contracts/<contractID>/events to get the event that have been applied to a contract.

Changed

  • sic now writes multiple files instead of merging everything into one file. Dependencies on sic generated files will have to be updated accordingly: For TypeScript, the files are renamed; and for Kotlin projects, the generated namespace has changed.
  • The helper functions for serialisation/deserialisation generated by TypeScript backend in sic have been refactored, so sic users will need to make a few changes to their TypeScript code. Instead of mkXValue and getX there are now methods X.toValue and X.fromValue. Also getAgent has been replaced by Agent.fromValue.

Fixed

  • Corrected the code that converts StateTree based residual contracts to their abstract syntax form.

0.41.0 - 2019-07-10

Added

  • The Visual Studio Code plugin now shows type information on mouse hover.

Fixed

  • Made sure the Gradle plugin for generating CorDapps includes everything needed to generate them correctly.

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue with floating point equality where numbers were not normalized.
  • Functions can now be serialized which makes it possible to call templates with functions as arguments.

0.32.0 - 2019-03-15

Changed

  • The sic tool now shows warnings on the console when it cannot generate entrypoints.
  • We now disallow shadowing of names in CSL. Shadowing is only disallowed within each name kind. That means value expression names cannot shadow other value expression names but contracts and values can still use the same name.

  • Fixed a bug in the webapp that made it crash when attempting to provide a DateTime argument to a report.
  • Fixed a bug in the webapp where the contents of AST nodes could overflow if it was too large - now the full content will only be visible when the mouse is hovering over the node.

Changed

  • Declarations are identified by content hashes (SHA-256) instead of UUIDs.

Fixed

  • Fixed issues in relation to expansion of templates. template[c] Foo() = (<*> E then success) then c would not work as expected.
  • Fixed issue where ((<*> E then success) or success) then C would accept C and become ((<*> E then success) or success) then success but it should have become simply success.

0.6.0 - 2018-02-23

Added

  • The UI now has a link to the language guide.
  • The UI now has a link to the change log (this document).
  • The language guide now contains a grammar for CSL.

Changed

  • Upgraded Corda to v2.0.0.
  • Changed keyword fail to failure for consistency with success. Both success and failure are nouns.
  • Prefix contracts do not include the then keyword. Therefore, the following two are now equivalent <*> E and <*> E then success.

Fixed

  • Fix a serialization issue between FabricLedgerService and chaincode.
  • Removed argument field names at instantiation.

0.5.0 - 2018-02-13

Added

  • Support for the submission of event subtypes from the web UI if the contract’s ontology specifies them.
  • Added new ledger service FabricLedgerService that supports CSL runtime on Hyperledger Fabric.
  • Serve language-guide with webservice (http://webservice:8080/docs/guide.html).
  • Parse and type errors are now highlighted in the web UI.

Changed

  • The Order type in the standard library has been renamed to Ordering.

Fixed

  • Significantly improve the speed with which contract source code is printed (roughly ~100x). This should improve the performance of cucumber tests.
  • Fix a bug that made it impossible to instantiate contracts with DateTime parameters in the web UI.

0.4.0 - 2018-02-06

Changed

  • Updated the CSL standard library to version 0.2, with the following changes:
    • Renamed module Time to DateTime, and Time::TimeComponents to DateTime::Components.
    • Added DateTime::addDays.
    • Added general combinators: id, const, flip.
    • Added Pair, and projection functions fst, snd.
    • Added Maybe with functions maybe, fromMaybe, Maybe::map, Maybe::isDefined, Maybe::any, Maybe::all.
    • Added compareInt, compareFloat, and compareDateTime.
    • Added the following functions to List module: head, headOrDefault, tail, length, map, mapMaybe, filter, zipWith, any, all, first, last, append, concat, reverse, take, drop.
    • Added documentation.
    • Indentation and formatting.
  • The value parser now uses CSL2 syntax. This means events should be entered in CSL2 syntax with uppercase constructors e.g. True False Nil and Cons.

Removed

  • The CSL1 language level.

Fixed

  • Fix a bug that caused the ontology viewer to not be shown when a record type explicitly specified Record as its parent.

0.3.0 - 2018-02-05

Added

  • In com.deondigital.api a ConstructorValue is now available to create and read CSL-constructors applied to argument values.
  • Record subtyping, so that a record subtype can match the type pattern of its supertype, and an event subtype can be applied to a contract accepting its supertype.

Fixed

  • The reports tab would report an error when the result of a report contained any constructor which was not True, False, Nil or Cons.
