Babylon Baby!

5.0.1-beta.2 Support for Babylon protocol update

This release supports Babylon/Proto005. With this release, it is possible to inject operations into a chain running either Athens/004 or Babylon/005.

Developers have two options around operating with the blockchain during the protocol amendment. First option, you can specify the protocol you expect to use in your provider as follows:

Tezos.setProvider({protocol: Protocols.PsBabyM1})

Second option is to not specify the protocol in your provider. Taquito will discover the current protocol before injection an operation by querying the RPC. This method requires less code, but adds an additional RPC query for every injection and is thus slightly slower.

Misc

• Polling interval for operation confirmation can be set globally for a taquito instance. Useful when working with zeronet

Tezos.setProvider(
    {
        config: {
            confirmationPollingIntervalSecond: 10,
            confirmationPollingTimeoutSecond: 180
        }
    }
)
