Features & Enhancements
- Support for Fabric v2.0 lifecycle.
This extension now support all operations required to deploy smart contracts to a Fabric V2 channel.
When creating a new local environment, you now have the option to specify the capabilities of the channel to be created.
To use the new Fabric v2.0 lifecycle you need to create a local environment which has V2 capabilities.
Be sure to check out the updated 'Basic tutorials' to find out how to use the new lifecycle.
- New 'Deploy Smart Contract' command
We've included a new 'Deploy Smart Contract' command which is callable from the command palette.
This command allows you to easily install and instantiate a smart contract (if using a V1 channel), or install, approve and commit a smart contract (if using a V2 channel) - using a single action.
- New 'Transact with Smart Contract' command
We've included a new 'Transact with Smart Contract' command which makes it easier to submit/evaluate transactions.
