Hi folks, dfx 0.29.1-beta.1 is released. You can find the release notes here.

To switch to the beta release, use dfxvm default 0.29.1-beta.1.

This release includes version 0.16.1 of Motoko; see the 0.16.0 release notes.

It also has a new doc comment feature for Candid interface files:

// Type comments
type Ex = variant {
  // Variant comments
  Var: record {
    // Field comments
    field: nat;
  }
}
// Service comments
service : {
  // Method comments
  func : (Ex) -> ();
}

When bindings are generated for this interface using dfx generate (usually auto-invoked by npm), these comment types will turn into documentation comments in the generated code.
