AOS v2.0.8

Installation

npm i -g https://get_ao.g8way.io

Overview

This release introduces SDK mode for headless execution, enhances the token blueprint with hyperbeam state-cache support, and includes updates to core dependencies.

SDK Mode

You can now run AOS in headless mode using the --run flag, enabling non-interactive execution of Lua code. This is useful for scripting, automation, and integrating AOS into build pipelines.

aos {process-id} --run "1 + 1"

The command evaluates the Lua expression, prints the result, and exits without entering the interactive shell. The splash banner is suppressed for cleaner output.

Using with Hyper AOS

Combine --run with the --hyper flag to target hyper-aos directly without being prompted:

aos {process-id} --hyper --run "return Balance"

This mode provides a streamlined way to query process state or execute commands programmatically.

Token Blueprint Updates

The token blueprint now includes hyperbeam state-cache support through automatic state patch messages. When balance changes occur (via Transfer or Mint actions), the process sends patch messages to update the base state:

-- Automatically sent after transfers
local patchMsg = {
  device = "patch@1.0",
  balances = {
    [msg.Recipient] = Balances[msg.Recipient],
    [msg.From] = Balances[msg.From]
  }
}
Send(patchMsg)

This enables efficient state caching and synchronization for processes using the hyperbeam infrastructure.

Token Info Standardization

The Info handler now uses lowercase field names and returns Supply instead of Total-Supply for consistency:

-- Previous format
{ "Total-Supply": "1000000" }

-- New format
{ "supply": "1000000" }

APM Package Update

The APM (AO Package Manager) process ID has been updated to the latest version, ensuring access to the most recent package registry and improved package management capabilities.

Hyper AOS Deduplication

Hyper AOS now includes built-in deduplication support, preventing redundant message processing and improving performance for high-throughput processes.
