Octez Connect v4.8.6 — Release and Test Validation Report
We’re excited to share that Octez Connect v4.8.6 is released with few bug fixes, protocol U support. See changelog for details.
This version been thoroughly tested with both manual and automated testing is ready for community use. Below is a detailed breakdown of the verification work, so you can build with confidence.
Validation Methodology
To make sure 4.8.5 is drop-in safe for the Taquito ecosystem, we ran a layered test suite covering both the SDK itself and the most common dApp + wallet combinations on Tezos.
-
Taquito integration branch
We used Taquito PR #3424, which removes all internal Beacon patches and routes @taquitotaquitotaquitotaquitotaquitotaquitotaquitotaquitotaquitotaquitotaquitotaquitotaquitotaquitota@tezos-xuitotaquito/beacon-w@tezos-xllet t@tezos-xtezos-xrough @tezos-x/octez.connect@4.8.5. Every
test below was run against locally built packages from that branch. -
Manual end-to-end wallet matrix
Following a simple test plan with following two wallets and a sample dapp:
- Temple wallet on Chrome — full operation matrix
- Kukai wallet on Firefox — connect / transfer / sign smoke set + cross-browser parity
- Real-world dApp regression using taquito sample dapp (Taquito playground)
Cloned the public Taquito Test dApp (Vue), repointed package.json to the local Taquito PR branch build, and ran the full automated suite: npm run
test.

Taquito Test dApp (Vue) regression suite
- npm run test against the PR #3424 build → 46 / 51 automated tests passing
- sapling tests needed a config change in vite.config.js to allow packages from local taquito branch. after which the tests passed
- staking and delegating tests passed after manually connecting the dapp to wallet. automated tests were creating a self delegated wallet.
- All the tests were run manually from Taquito playground and they passed (chrome, temple wallet)
