Plutus Application Framework v1.0.0-alpha1 Release

Release notes

This alpha release targets a Cardano Network with the Vasil HF (node v1.35.3). It will allow dApp developers to test their existing PlutusV1 application on a network which has been forked to support Babbage era features. Therefore, do not expect this release to work on Cardano mainnet until the Vasil HF, because our transaction library submits Babbage era transactions with PlutusV1 or PlutusV2 scripts.

The different packages have been updated to work during the Babbage era and partially support the new Babbage era features. We will continue releasing other alpha releases as we get feedback from the community.

What follows is a general picture of what Babbage era features we currently support:

• plutus-chain-index has been updated to read blocks from Babbage era, and supports storing reference scripts and inline datums from transactions. However, the stored UTxO does not include collateral output from transactions.
• plutus-contract emulator has been updated to work with Babbage era types. However, the UTxO index in the emulator does not support transaction outputs with reference scripts and inline datums.
• plutus-contract emulator uses the Babbage era validation rules from cardano-ledger. However, we continue to use our old custom validation rules which we plan to remove in the next alpha release in order to fully commit with cardano-ledger 's validation rules.
• plutus-ledger-constraints and plutus-tx-constraints has been updated only to build transactions with reference inputs, but does not yet support yet inline datums and reference scripts

If you find any issues, please submit a report here: https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-apps/issues
