Buidler v1.2.0 released 🥳

We are very happy to announce Buidler v1.2.0, one of our largest releases so far 🤩

Say hi to npx buidler node

This release includes a new built-in task, npx buidler node.

This task exposes Buidler EVM as a JSON-RPC server, to which you can connect from your dapps, MetaMask, or any other wallet or application.

It includes all the functionality of Buidler EVM that you know and love, like Solidity stack traces and console.log, and has very helpful and uncluttered output.

Take a look at it:
