[dependabot]

Bumps hardhat from 2.7.1 to 2.17.2.

Release notes

Sourced from hardhat's releases.

Hardhat v2.17.2

This release includes several fixes and some new features:

• Added support for state overrides in the eth_call RPC method
• Added an enableTransientStorage option to enable EIP-1153 opcodes
• Deprecated the TASK_COMPILE_TRANSFORM_IMPORT_NAME subtask, added a new TASK_COMPILE_GET_REMAPPINGS subtask, and added support for remappings in the resolver.
• Fixed a problem that was causing debug_traceTransaction to return traces where the memory had a lot of empty words
• Fixed an issue where artifactExists would throw an error for missing artifacts
• Improved the error message displayed when importing a directory instead of a file
• Fixed a problem with receipts of remote transactions returning the wrong tx type when fetched through a fork

Hardhat v2.17.1

This release adds support for solc v0.8.21, allows using console.log in pure functions and improves the output of the flatten task (see NomicFoundation/hardhat#1499).

Besides that, this version:

• Removed an unnecessary dependency (abort-controller) because it's no longer needed in the versions of node.js supported by Hardhat (thanks @​orlandoortegajr!)
• Fixed a bug caused by nodes returning 429 responses without a Retry-After header (thanks @​kowalski!)
• Added logic to throw an error when the debug_traceTransaction method is called with a tracer parameter that is not supported.

Hardhat v2.17.0

This new minor version of Hardhat drops support for Node.js v14 and adds support for Node v20. To learn about which versions of Node we support, check our Stability guarantees page.

This version also adds support for solc 0.8.19 and 0.8.20 and fixes two bugs:

• A long-standing issue related to our compilation pipeline (see NomicFoundation/hardhat#1117).
• A problem when forking other local development networks whose latest block number has a low value (issue NomicFoundation/hardhat#1568).

Hardhat v2.16.1

This release fixes an issue in the compiler download that happens when Hardhat is used with node v18.16.x (the latest versions of node v18).

Hardhat v2.16.0 - Extendable providers

This version of Hardhat adds a new extensibility point: you can now wrap Hardhat's network provider with your own logic.

This is done by using the new extendProvider configuration function:

extendProvider(async (provider, config, network) => {
  const newProvider = new MyProviderWrapper(provider);
  return newProvider;
});

Doing this means that all the JSON-RPC calls will go through your custom provider wrapper. You can use this to intercept and handle some requests while forwarding the rest to the original provider.

To learn more about this, read the "Extending the Hardhat provider" section in our docs. If you have questions about how to use this, please open a new discussion.

Other changes

Besides this new feature, this version includes the following changes:

• console.sol is now memory-safe (thanks @​ZumZoom!)
