New Ethereum ↔️ Substrate address conversion with pop convert

Convert between different formats

Usage: pop convert
       pop convert <COMMAND>

Commands:
  address  Convert an Ethereum address into a Substrate address and vice versa
  help     Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Users can now pass a zombienet configuration file to pop up

Configuration files can be provided directly to the cli like in: pop up ./my_network.toml

Improved pop build spec

Specify a custom base directory (instead of being locked to the current folder).
Run non-interactively with new clap args — perfect for bash scripts and automation.

pop up command now supports launching chains without the need for network configuration files.

👉 Try it out now with:

pop up paseo -p asset-hub,passet-hub
pop up paseo -p asset-hub,pop -r stable2412-4
pop up kusama --port 8833 --parachain asset-hub:9944 -r stable2412-4

🚀 Pop CLI v0.8.1

This patch release addresses a bug in Pop CLI v0.8.0 and continues to include two exciting experimental features:

1. ink! v6 Smart Contracts on PolkaVM (RISC-V)
   Run ink! v6 contracts using pallet-revive, while still supporting ink! v5 (WebAssembly).
   👉 Try it out by installing with the polkavm-contracts feature:

cargo install pop-cli  --no-default-features --locked -F polkavm-contracts,parachain,telemetry

Ready to explore ink! v6? We’ve prepared a step-by-step guide to help you transition from ink! v5 and start experimenting:
👉 Migrating to ink! v6

2. New Experimental Hashing Utility
   Pop CLI now includes support for hashing using all common SDK hashers: Blake2, Keccak, SHA2, and Twox.

👉 Install with the experimental feature:

cargo install pop-cli--locked --features experimental

Then run

pop hash

to calculate hashes directly from the CLI.
