Sui Protocol Version in this release: 44
Highlights
GraphQL
#17313: There is no longer a Live or Historical, ObjectKind, they have been merged into a single Indexed kind representing any object that has been fetched from the index (as opposed to an object that we have information about but that hasn't been indexed yet, or an object that has been deleted or wrapped so is not available).
CLI
#17155: sui move build --path <relative_path> does not abort with os error 2
#17205: Adds receiver function aliases for functions in the sui::publisher module.
#17106: Developers might see more compiler diagnostics as dot chain (e.g., some_struct.some_field) parsing errors no longer prevent compilation and diagnostics from the compiler reaching later compilation stages where additional diagnostics may be generated.
#17267: The CLI will now create the testnet network instead of the devnet when the default configuration is accepted during the initial configuration.
#17322: Added automatic gas estimation feature for the Sui CLI. If gas budget is not provided, the tool will dry run the transaction to get a gas budget estimate, and then it will execute the transaction. That means that for all relevant commands the --gas-budget flag is now optional. Please note that this incurs a small cost in performance due to the additional dry run call.
