v0.31.0

[0.31.0] - 2023-08-02

This is a small release whose primary goal is to bump the versions of scale-encode, scale-decode and scale-value being used, to benefit from recent changes in those crates.

scale-decode changes how compact values are decoded as part of #1103. A compact encoded struct should now be properly decoded into a struct of matching shape (which implements DecodeAsType). This will hopefully resolve issues around structs like Perbill. When decoding the SCALE bytes for such types into scale_value::Value, the Value will now be a composite type wrapping a value, and not just the value.

We've also figured out how to sign extrinsics using browser wallets when a Subxt app is compiled to WASM; see #1067 for more on that!

The key commits:

Added

• Add browser extension signing example (#1067)

Changed

• Bump to latest scale-encode/decode/value and fix test running (#1103)
• Set minimum supported rust-version to 1.70 (#1097)

Fixed

• Tests: support 'substrate-node' too and allow multiple binary paths (#1102)
