The Guild June 2023 Update

[saihaj]

Executive Summary

The graph-tooling CLI has been improved with a binary bundle, new utility functions, and support deploy for optimism. graph-node has added Int8 scalar and is working on exposing graphman API. graph-client has improved ESM support. Looking ahead, graph-tooling will add support for multiple addresses per data source and help with changes required to support Fusion. graph-node will work on GraphQL over HTTP compliance, nested sorting, and scalars. graph-client will set up remote docs, and docs will add support for mermaid and integrate Firehose docs.
