This is a very special version, as it includes changes from lots of new contributors.
It also includes a new feature to Buidler EVM, which enables smart contract developers to tests time-based edge cases. Using the new evm_setNextBlockTimestamp RPC method, you can control exactly when your next transaction will be mined, and make sure that you are handling those correctly.
