Add Transactions V2 support

[fabioberger]

This feature of Solana went live yesterday: https://docs.solana.com/proposals/transactions-v2

Can Anchor upgrade it's Solana dependencies so that provider.connect.sendTransaction accepts VersionedTransactions?

Thank you!

As well as updating dependencies we will need to look into where the internals of anchor have to be updated in order to start passing VersionedTransaction objects instead of Transaction objects to sendTransaction.

How is progress on support for versioned transactions in Anchor going? I see that the PR bumping the web3.js package version was merged. Will that update be in the next release of the @project-serum/anchor package?

[Henry-E]

With the updated version of the package you should be able to pass in versioned transactions. I'll have to check with armani what the plan is for updating packages etc.

Ok, great! I imagine we will also be able to create and query lookup tables as well? If possible, could you give me an ETA for when the package will be updated? Once you've talked with Armani ofc.

[Henry-E]

I don't really know about creating and querying lookup tables. That's presumably all part of the web3 package. No estimate on when the anchor package will be released but it's been noted.

Thanks for the reply! Yes all LUT functionality is handled by the updated web3.js version, so once this is released all the functionality should work. And thanks for taking note. I'll keep an eye out for the next release.

Hey there 👋,

Wonder if there are any updates? Our team is super pumped to be able to integrate transaction v2 with Anchor!

[pindaroso]

Hi guys, just checking in, any word on this update @Henry-E?

[Henry-E]

I still haven't gotten any response from anyone about what integration with transactions v2 would look like? What support does anchor need to add in. It's all in the web3 library?

[pindaroso]

The local validator that runs during tests needs a version update. I didn't see any other issues or PRs for this unless I'm missing something. Should I create one?

[Henry-E]

The Solana and web3 versions have all been updated for the next version.
