Full Changelog: v1.3.0...v1.3.1

v1.3.0

This marks a minor release of medusa. This version brings significant performance improvements, support for [email protected], pruning of corpus elements, and rich support for external libraries.

We have improved the coverage tracking mechanism and reduced the number of state writes required, which brings a marked improvement in medusa's speed.

We now support the ability to prune corpus elements using the PruneFrequency configuration option. Pruning corpus elements aids in managing the overall corpus size and improves the likelihood that each element in the corpus aids in improving the coverage of the system.

Finally, since external libraries are now fully supported, users no longer have to use the PredeployedContracts configuration option or pass the --compile-libraries flag to crytic-compile.

What's Changed

• Reduce coverage tracking bloat for dynamically created contracts by @samalws-tob in #627
• Reduce the number of state writes by @samalws-tob in #629
• Add external library support by @priyankabose in #630
• Prune unnecessary transaction sequences from corpus by @samalws-tob in #625
• Upgrade to go-ethereum v1.15.5 by @anishnaik in #615

Bug Fixes

• Synchronize writes while running commands to avoid data race by @samalws-tob in #624

v1.2.1

This marks a minor release of medusa. Version 1.2.1 brings a patch that allows users to install medusa using go install.

Bug Fixes

• Fix go install installation by @elopez in #609

Full Changelog: v1.2.0...v1.2.1

v1.2.0

This marks a minor release of medusa. Version 1.2.0 has a variety of new features, including the introduction of some very needed cheatcodes (startPrank, stopPrank, and getCode), verbosity levels for execution traces, and revert reports. Additionally, we have made significant improvements to the HTML coverage reports to improve user experience. Finally, we have migrated to branch coverage-guided fuzzing which, according to our internal benchmarking results, significantly outperforms PC coverage-guided fuzzing.

The installation process is now simpler than ever. Users across all operating systems can now run go install github.com/crytic/medusa@latest to download medusa!

Full Changelog: v1.0.0...v1.1.0

v1.0.0

This is medusa's first major release. It includes many powerful features and important bug fixes. The biggest update is the introduction of on-chain fuzzing! medusa can now run starting with an existing state provided by an external RPC service (Infura, Alchemy, local node, etc). This enables users to speed up the fuzzing setup when using already deployed contracts. Please note that the on-chain fuzzing capability is in "experimental mode" and will continue to improve over the next few releases.

Additional features include integration with Slither for improved value generation, capturing transaction return values for improved value generation, efficient shrinking during optimization mode, and support for the label cheatcode.

What's Changed

• Support for on-chain fuzzing via external RPC by @bsamuels453 in #513
• Integrate Slither for improved value generation by @anishnaik in #530
• Capture transaction return values for improved value generation by @anishnaik in #533
• Add support for the vm.label cheatcode by @priyankabose in #545
