Compare Source

Patch Changes

• e443b36: Added an option in Hardhat Network to allow mining blocks with the same timestamp

  We also removed support for the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables, since http_proxy is the most commonly used environment variable for this kind of thing. Those variables could only be used for downloading compilers.

  Finally, we also added support for no_proxy, which accepts a comma separated list of hosts or "*". Any host included in this list will not be proxied.

  Note that requests to "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" are never proxied.
