Bumps hardhat from 3.9.0 to 3.17.0.

Release notes

Sourced from hardhat's releases.

Hardhat v3.17.0

This release includes a new default gas estimation mode for eth_estimateGas to prevent misleading results when internal calls run out of gas, as well as improved performance for test suites using ethers.

Changes

• #8501 5faee42 Thanks @​ChristopherDedominici! - Add gasEstimationMode config option to EDR networks, defaulting to a new "noInternalOutOfGas" mode to prevent misleading eth_estimateGas results when internal calls run out of gas.

• #8580 8583e24 Thanks @​ChristopherDedominici! - Improved performance of Ethers test suites by using EDR's native Keccak-256 instead of Ethers' pure-JS version.

• #8210 024b422 Thanks @​kanej! - Update the cryptography dependencies to their latest major versions: @noble/hashes and @noble/ciphers to 2, ethereum-cryptography to 3, and micro-eth-signer to 0.19.

• #8596 0acd737 Thanks @​schaable! - Fixed configuration variables to stop printing of values in error messages.

• #8596 78f613c Thanks @​schaable! - Fixed error shown when an HD key cannot be derived, to only include the derivation path.

• #8594 0fc2dca Thanks @​ChristopherDedominici! - Upgrade to EDR v0.20.0.

• Updated dependencies:

  • @​nomicfoundation/hardhat-utils@​4.2.0

Hardhat v3.14.0

This is a small bug fix release, but includes a reworking of our EDR dependencies to be platform specific, reducing the install size of a Hardhat project's node_modules.
