What's Changed
v0.4.2 includes a new raw_create() builtin which allows users to build more generic factories in Vyper. It also moves the sqrt() builtin to a pure Vyper module, involving a refactor which will allow more stdlib functionality to be written in Vyper in the future.
Additionally, Venom has undergone more improvements, including a CSE elimination pass, dead-store elimination pass, as well as moving more items in the calling convention to the stack in the venom pipeline. Benchmark contracts are now typically 5% smaller.
Two low severity GHSAs have been patched in this release.
