I’m happy to announce the release of a new version for plutus-simple-model. It’s a minimal library to write test for Plutus/Cardano applications. It’s easy to use and blazing fast. We use it extensively in Mlabs City to test our Plutus applications.

The new release is focused on those main features:

• Reduce dependency set to make it as lean as possible. It depends only on plutus and cardano-ledger.
• Support for Babbage era (use new features available in Vasil)
• Support for Plutus V2 features (inlined datums, reference inputs, reference scripts, forward to redeemer, etc)
• Write tutorial and update Hackage docs

The main thing is Plutus V2 support. Also with cutdown on the list of dependencies it becomes
much easier to update and use. I have removed big deps like plutus-apps, ouroboros and cardano-node. With this rewrite also it became 10 times faster.
