Release: mx-sdk-py-cli - v6.0.0

Moved wallet-related functionality (commands kept intact)

Removed wallet sub-package from multiversx_sdk_cli, since all the wallet-related functions are now defined in multiversx_sdk_wallet. Thus, from now on, mxpy relies on multiversx_sdk_wallet to implement it's functionality for managing wallets and signing transactions.

Let's state this again: multiversx_sdk_cli should not be used as a Python library anymore, but only as a CLI tool - under the nickname mxpy. That is, you should not import multiversx_sdk_cli in other Python tools, packages or scripts. Import multiversx_sdk_core, multiversx_sdk_wallet and multiversx_sdk_network_providers, instead.

Experimental, partial support for Windows

BASH shell required, though (at least for installation).

Users can now use the mxpy-up facility to install mxpy in Windows, outside of WSL. However, Windows support is experimental and partial at the moment. Contract builds aren't available yet (due to a few issues related to the Rust installation) - they will be in a future version, however. Transaction creation / broadcasting and wallet utilities are available.

Allow one to alternate between Rust installations

Allow one to specify the desired resolution strategy for some dependencies: rust, go and wasm_opt.

Available resolution strategies are:

• SDK - resolve dependency from ~/multiversx-sdk
• host - resolve dependency as already installed on the host machine (e.g. which {dependency} should output a valid path).

Example in ~/multiversx-sdk/mxpy.json config:

"dependencies.rust.resolution": "SDK",
...

Example for switching the resolution strategy using the CLI:

mxpy config set "dependencies.rust.resolution" "host"

PATH not altered by default anymore by mxpy-up

In mxpy-up, we do not alter the PATH variable by default anymore; that is, we do not alter .profile, .zshrc or .bash_profile automatically anymore. The user has to explicitly demand this (during the installation script).
