- **Breaking change** For users of `ScProvider` you now need to explicitly pass `@substrate/connect` as a parameter. This means the code needs to be adjusted as follows -

```js
import { ScProvider } from '@polkadot/api';
import * as Sc from '@substrate/connect';

## 9.10.1 Dec 4, 2022

- **Important** Since [9.2.1](https://github.com/polkadot-js/api/releases/tag/v9.2.1) the recommended way of accessing `WellKnownChain` for light clients is via `ScProvider.WellKnownChain`. This release removes the explicit export from the `ScProvider` root.

Changes:

- Adjust payloads to use `BlockHash` types (as applicable)
- Adjust type-only imports in `ScProvider`
- Update to latest Polkadot, Kusama & Substrate metadata

- Polkadot 9291 & Westend 9300 upgrade blocks


## 9.5.2 Oct 16, 2022

Changes:

- Add `ParachainHost` version 3 runtime calls


## 9.5.1 Oct 8, 2022

- **Important** While the API witll detect and decorate the weight type based on V1 or V2, the default `Weight` type (used in runtime calls and RPCs) has not been swapped from the old `u64` variant. This means that on new chains using `WeightV2`, the TS decorated type will still reflect the old version.

Changes:

- Adjust handling of `Weight` type for V2 structures
- Add alis definitions for `Weight{V1, V2}` (used for type overrides)
- Cater for weight v2 (along with v1 pass-through) extrinsics in `api-contract`

- Ensure that `api.call.*` is decorated on historic blocks


## 9.2.1 Aug 13, 2022

- **Important** If using `import { WellKnownChain } from '@polkadot/rpc-provider'` it is recommended that you rather use `ScProvider.WellKnownChain` (the import may be dropped in a future major version)

Changes:

- Don't assume non-empty path specifiers on portable variant/composites
- Explicit param length checks for all generic portable overrides
- Re-export `ScProvider` in `@polkadot/api`, aligning with `{Http, Ws}Provider`

- Update to latest Substrate, Polkadot & Kusama metadata


## 9.0.1 Jul 30, 2022

- **Breaking change** The decorated field getters on `Struct` were moved to the prototype class for performance reasons. While `struct.<field>` access still behaves in the same way, with the same results, this does mean that the prototype getters are not visible when doing an `Object.keys(struct)` or when doing an object spread.
- **Breaking change** Deprecated interfaces have been removed including `tx.sign(...)` (use `signAsync`), `Result.{is, as}Error` (use `{is, as}Err`) as well as storage `.range(...)` operations.
- **Breaking change** Deprecated interfaces on `api-contract` have been removed. Always ensure you pass an options object to construction and query methods.
- **Breaking change** Contracts access via `api-contract` will now detect the usage of `storageDepositLimit` in params, if not available the contract interfaces will not be decorated.

Changes:

- Decorate `Struct/Enum/Set` field getters on class prototypes
- Convert `api-contract` usage of `api.rpc.*` to `api.call.*`
- Drop support for contract runtimes without `storageDepositLimit` (runtime `contractsApi` only has support for latest)
- Export `api.rx.call.*` for internal usage (derive, contracts)
- Remove old-style param passing as opposed to options in `api-contract`
- Support for alliance/motion collective derives
- Add Kusama 9260 upgrade block
- Add Polkadot 9230 & 9250 upgrade blocks
- Add Westend 9251, 9260 & 9261 upgrade blocks

Upgrade priority: Low. Recommended for TS users with their own non-Polkadot/Kusama chains.

- **Breaking changes** For TS users the default API augmentation is now optional. This means that the API, for TypeScript, is not decorated by default with the Substrate types and encpoints. TS users should add a singular `import '@polkadot/api-augment';` in their code to restore old behavior. A full writeup of the rationale and other options can be found [in the FAQ](https://polkadot.js.org/docs/api/FAQ#since-upgrading-to-the-7x-series-typescript-augmentation-is-missing)

## 3.8.1 Feb 7, 2021

Upgrade priority: Low. Recommended for users of the latest Substrate master, especially using contracts.

- **Important** The `api-contract` `Code` now supports deploying the code and a contract in on operation. This aligns with the latest Substrate where code cannot be uploaded with a contract. The `createBlueprint` is therefore deprecated, use `code.tx.<constructor>(...)` to deploy code. (Compatible with both old and new versions of Substrate)

Contributed:

- Add support for latest Frontier RPCs (Thanks to https://github.com/jnaviask)
- Fix user-supplied signed extensions type signature (Thanks to https://github.com/ntduan)

Changes:

- Expand `api-contract` to allow for `Code` to deploy contract alongside code. `createBlueprint` is now deprecated, replaced by `createContract` or the preferred `code.tx.<constructor>`, which uploads and deploys the code in one operation. This aligns with the current Substrate master contracts implementation.

## 3.7.1 Feb 1, 2021

Upgrade priority: Low. However recommended for current Substrate master, Polkadot and Rococo users and those wishing to support the upcoming Polkadot 28 runtime with the new `MultiAddress`.

- **Breaking change** As indicated in the 3.5.1 release notes, the `Address`/`LookupSource` defaults have now been adjusted for `MultiAddress`. If your chain does not use these types, explicitly add the correct `Address`/`LookupSource` types. This new extensible format is mean to cater for all address types into the future, removing a lot of discrepancies between chains.

Contributed:

- Extraction of the block author on Moonbeam (Thanks to https://github.com/joelamouche)
- Cleanup logs with HTTP providers, no subs (Thanks to https://github.com/Tbaut)

Changes:

- Allow `.slice` operator on the `Vec` type

- Remove explicit `module` in `package.json` (exports map available)


## 3.6.1 Jan 24, 2020

Upgrade priority: Medium if not already on at least 3.3.1. The next upgrade of Kusama/Polkadot requires it.

- **Breaking change** To support chains with multiple tokens, such as bridges, the `ChainProperties` type now returns an array of tokens and decimals (instead of singular values) in the `token{Decimals, Symbol}` getters. Additionally, this means that the `registry` interfaces has been changes, to `registry.chainDecimals: number[]` and `registry.chainTokens: string[]`. Where used the `[0]` index will return the first value if only interested in a single, for a straight conversion.

Changes:

- Allow for the detection of on-chain capabilities as available (e.g. `AccountData`, `ValidatorPrefs`)
- Cater for multiple tokens and decimals in the chain the chain `system.properties` (as per the chain specification)
- Add a `instances: { [key]: [module1, module2] }` definition in teh bundle types, allowing for multiple instances (e.g. Balances)
- Adjust the `api-derive` for balances to retrieve values via `instances` as well as across multiple modules
- Ensure all types are registered for all metadata typegen steps
- Add `rpc.payment.queryFeeDetails` RPC endpoint
- Update types & metadata to latest Substrate
- Move the `@polkadot/x-rxjs` package into the common repo
- Allow doc generation for errors/events (markdown outputs)


## 3.5.1 Jan 18, 2020

Upgrade priority: Low. Recommended for parachain developers.

- **Important** The default for Substrate on the Address types are `MultiAddress`. It is recommended that chains add explicit definitions for `Address` and `LookupSource` in their types, instead of relying on the API-defaults. A future update will swap the API defaults to align with Substrate.
- **Important** Like the above changes in Substrate, the `AccountInfo` structure has also changed. It is recommended that chain developers explicitly add `AccountInfo: 'AccountInfoWithRefCount'` for the version with `refCount` on and `AccountInfoWithProviders` for the latest Substrate version. As per the above, the API defaults will be changed to align with Substrate.

## 3.0.1 Dec 14, 2020

Upgrade priority: Low. Recommended for the next Kusama/Polkadot upgrades due to additional types and those following chains following Substrate master closely.

**Important** While this package contains no external interface changes, it now compiles and ships both cjs and esm modules. This means that modern bundlers will have more information for tree-shaking available. Additionally when using Node with `.mjs` extensions, the esm version imports will be used on recent Node versions. Adding an export map, as here, may have some impacts so a major semver bump is advised. There may be (small) dragons hiding in the dark corners...

Contributed:

- Injection of derives via typesBundle (Thanks to https://github.com/pr0fedt)
- Added derives for bounties (Thanks to https://github.com/krzysztof-jelski)

- Apply current Polkadot master parachain types
- Apply current Substrate master asset types
- Add `system_{addLogFilter, resetLogFilter}` RPCs
- Adjust tests for latest Substrate metadata

## 2.9.1 Nov 30, 2020

Upgrade priority: Low. No major changes when on at least 2.8.2. Users encouraged to upgrade to at least that patch.

- **Breaking change** The API will now not attempt to queue calls made while not connected and send on connection. Rather when making a call and the RPC node is not connected, an error will be thrown.

Contributed:

- Add typegen capability for custom RPCs (Thanks to https://github.com/holygits)

Changes:

- Remove rpc-core send queue, only allow sends while connected
- Adjust staking derive for `electedInfo` to contain details of current validators
- Extract identity-only derive from `accounts.info` for simpler reusability

## 2.5.1 Nov 2, 2020

Upgrade priority: Low. Recommended for `api-contract` developers.

- **Breaking change** Substrate changed the `ContractExecResult` from `api.rpc.contracts.call`. The API does have pass-through support for both old and new variants via the `Contract` interface, however it means the structure has changed to accommodate the new Substrate structure. Refer to the [docs for the latest interface](https://polkadot.js.org/docs/api-contract/start/contract.read) (including `isSuccess/isError` -> `isOk/isErr`, and the availability of the `gasConsumed`)

Contributed:

## 2.0.1 Sep 28, 2020

Upgrade priority: Medium. Required for all teams building on Substrate 2.0 for full compatibility.

- **Important** The `RefCount` type (used by `query.system.accounts`) has been changed to a `u32`. On older chains supply the `RefCount: 'RefCountTo259'` override
- **Breaking change** Metadata versions before v9 as not supported anymore. v4 was the first version to go with the Substrate 1.0 while Kusama itself starts at v9 as the earliest version. This means that Substrate 1.x chains that have not had any upgrades are not supported in this version of the API anymore.
- **Breaking change** Extrinsic versions before v4 (1-3) are not supported anymore. This aligns with the above metadata change, where v4 is the canonical version.
- **Breaking change** Support for the old-style linked-map retrievals via `query.<module>.map()` have been dropped, only the existing `.keys()/.entries()` are available for map iteration.

## 1.34.1 Sep 21, 2020

Upgrade priority: High. Metadata v12 is the next major version containing structural data exchange changes and will start rolling out to test and live networks in due course.

- **Breaking change** The `Decorated` (from `@polkadot/metadata`) class signature has changed. It now always expects a valid `Metadata` object to be passed-in, instead of raw data. It is recommended to create a `Metadata` object, set it on the registry with `.setMetadata` and then only create a `Decorated` instance. (Only affects metadata-only users of the API)

Contributed:

- Added support for POW block author extraction (Thanks to https://github.com/sorpaas)

Changes:

- Ensure Metadata retrieval does not pollute the default registry
- When passing `{ nonce: -1 }` to `signAndSend` the API will use `system.accountNextIndex` to determine the nonce
- Ensure that upgrades override old registry types (non-specified in current)

- Add `staking.stakerPrefs` derive to retrieve validatorPrefs over a range of eras
- Basic map of Websocket error codes to short descriptions (where none available)


## 1.32.1 Sep 7, 2020

Upgrade priority: Low. Recommended when manually using provider connect/disconnect or using multiple instances in a single process.

- **Breaking change** Previously `.isReady` could throw an error, now it will always succeed on connection. For trapping errors, use the `.isReadyOrError` variant on the API
- **Breaking change** The `isConnected` provider interface is now a getter, replacing previous calls to `provider.isConnected()`. Additionally the `provider.disconnect()` is now async, aligning with `.connect()`.

Contributed:

- Expand vesting information via derive balances (Thanks to https://github.com/niklabh)
- Add `isReadyOrError` to API, `isReady` always succeeds (Thanks to https://github.com/shawntabrizi)

Changes:

- **Breaking change** (derives only) Additional cleanups of democracy proposal & referenda derives, including support for new Polkadot/Substrate vote retrievals

Changes:

- Tx signing via `signAndSend` & `signAsync` now tries to use the last finalized block (depending on finalized drift)

## 1.8.1 Mar 22, 2020

- **Breaking change** The format for any custom RPCs have been changed (alongside API-internal changes) to allow for better RPC management. If you are currently using custom RPCs (or planning to do so), look at the [updated documentation](https://polkadot.js.org/api/start/rpc.custom.html)
- **Breaking change** Alongside API RPC changes, the `@polkadot/jsonrpc` package has been removed. Since it was never documented and only used internally, this should not have adverse impacts. All RPC definitions itself has now been moved to the relevant modules inside `@polkadot/types/interfaces`
- **Important** Substrate has an updated democracy module. If using an older chain add the `ReferendumInfo: 'ReferendumInfoTo239'` type when using referendums

Changes:

- The `isRetracted` Extrinsic status is now a warning, not a fatal error, correctly aligning with Polkadot/Substrate
- The Substrate extrinsic phase definitions has been expanded with `Initialization` to align with the latest versions
- Add support for all known substrate RPC methods
- Extend account derives to include status flags, e.g. `isCouncil`, `isSudo`, ...
- Adjusted referendum derives to cater for bot new/old democracy. Derived `referendumInfo` now includes `status` field, not `info`
- Add `initWasm` flag to API options. When set to `false` does not init the WASM portion (leaving it to the user elsewhere)


## 1.7.1 Mar 17, 2020

- **Important** Current versions of Polkadot/Substrate have dropped support for linked maps on storage entries. If you are using these queries to retrieve all entries, for instance `staking.{nominators,validators}()` and using an upgraded chain, you need to swap to retrieving entries via `.entries()` or `.keys()` for the keys.

Changes:

- Pull in support and types for latest Polkadot/Substrate
- Add support for the new Substrate `state_getKeysPaged` RPC, including use in storage keys
- Move `derive.staking.controllers` to `derive.staking.stashes`, reflecting actual content
- Cater for adjusted storage (non-linked mapped) for `derive.staking.stashes` queries (with old-compat)
- Expanded `derive.staking.*` derives, including addition of `derive.staking.own*`
- Re-add fixed (with tests) checks for query args, previously disabled in 1.6.2


## 1.6.2 Mar 12, 2020

Changes:

## 1.6.1 Mar 12, 2020

- **Breaking change** `api.rpc.state.queryStorage(...)` now fully decodes the `Vec<StorageChangeSet>` and returns a decoded `[Hash, Codec[]][]` when using this RPC.

Changes:

- `StorageKey` now has an `.args` property, decoded from meta where `twox64_concat` or `blake128_concat` are used on maps
- Fix `api.query.*.*.entries` type conversions to return exact types (not `Option` in some cases)
- Add `api.query.*.*.keys` to retrieve only the storage keys, similar to `.entries`
- Full linked map retrievals will now use direct getStorage queries for faster operation
- Underlying rpc-core interfaces now unwraps `Error("...")` when found in responses
- Added `derive.eras*` interfaces for queries to new Substrate staking interfaces
- Update `derive.account` to cater for new indices module storage (detected with fallbacks)
- Adjust derive queries for session without module prefix (DoubleMap -> Map), detected on use
- Add runtime validation for map arguments to `api.query.*`
- TypeScript interfaces for linked maps now correctly generates as `[Type, Linkage<Next>]`


## 1.5.1 Mar 06, 2020

- **Important** Substrate master has updated staking, on older chains supply `StakingLedger: 'StakingLedgerTo223'`
- **Important** Substrate master has updated collective, on older chains supply `Votes: 'VotesTo230'`

Contributed:

- Add `.range([from, to]: [Hash, Hash?], ...args: any[]): [Hash, Codec][]` on all storage entries
- Add `.raw(...args: any[]): Promise<Uint8Array & Codec>` to all RPC calls, returning the un-encoded result
- Allow pre-module type aliasing with `typesAlias: { <moduleName>: { <meta-type>: <alias-type> } }` in API construction options
- Allow `BTreeMap` to be initialized with a `Record<string, any>` object (in addition to `Map`)

- `Bool` will now correctly return `isEmpty` on false/default values
- Refresh the `NetworkState` types as returned by the `rpc.system.networkState()` call to current
- Expose `registry.createClass(<typeName>)` to allow for creating type classes. If you are using `createClass` or `ClassOf` in your code, it is recommended to swap to this instance.
- Add additional derives to `api.derive.staking` to handle lazy-payout retrievals
- Update `@polkadot/{util, util-crypto, keyring}` to 1.6.1 & `@polkadot/wasm` to 1.2.1

- Support JS `BigInt` inputs in any derived `UInt` and `Int` object, e.g. `api.tx.balances.transfer(..., 9876543210123456789n)`
- `UInt` & `Int` now does source bitLength checks upon construction
- Registry now exposes `.createType(<type>, ...args)` as an additional helper (like the API)
- Expand `.toHuman` on `ExtrinsicEra`, `SubmittableResult` & `Vote`
- Move `DigestItem`, `Fixed64`, `H160`, `H256` & `H512` to interfaces in `@polkadot/types/interfaces`

Changes:

- Add support for `balances.account` in all applicable derives (incl. `vesting` module)
- Inject and use SignedExtensions by name from V11 metadata (V4 extrinsics only)
- Add typings for `api.tx.*.*` - the `polkadot-types-from-chain` now also generates these
- Remove additional V1-only derives `(staking.recentlyOffline`, `balances.nominatorsFor`)
- Add `.isMax()` on int values, an opposite of `isZero()` (e.g. `u128`, as well as derived, e.g. `Balances`)
- Add `.keyPrefix()` to all `api.query.*` complementing the `.key()` call, both returning a hex string
- Council derives now takes bootstrapping (member, no elections) into account
- Account derives now allow for an optional indices module (not required)
- Adjust balances fees derivation with optional transfer and creation fees (removed in Substrate)
- Adjust enum `.toJSON()` to return type name as specified


## 1.0.1 Jan 30, 2020

- **Breaking change** Drop support for Substrate v1 chain in all derives

Contributed:

- Return unsub functions from provider .on emitters (Thanks to https://github.com/jak-pan)

- **Breaking change** The metadata classes have been moved from `@polkadot/types` into `@polkadot/metadata`. If you explicitly create `Metadata` classes, you now would need to do so with the `import Metadata from '@polkadot/metadata';` This is a decorated class, where the previous metadata is now available on `Metadata.metadata`, alongside decorated `consts.*`', `tx.*` and `query.*`.
- **Breaking change** Session `Keys` defaults to 4 keys now (Substrate master), depending on your node config, you would want to override with e.g. `Keys: 'SessionKeys3'` (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6)
- **Breaking change** `ValidatorPrefs` now default to the new percentage commission model, to use the previous `validatorPayment`, you can override with `ValidatorPrefs: 'ValidatorPrefsTo196'`

- Adjust subscription update checks to avoid duplicated data updates
- Support Metadata V8 (exposes per-module `decl_error` definitions)
- Support next generation contracts ABI (with additional type definitions)

- All latest Polkadot & Substrate types (as per master branches)

## 0.94.1 Oct 07, 2019

Changes:

## 0.93.1 Sep 26, 2019

Changes:

- Support for Kusama CC2
- In extrinsic submission, use `rpc.account.nextIndex` to retrieve the nonce when available
- For TypeScript users `api.query.*.*` is now properly typed for default Substrate calls, i.e. `api.query.balances.freeBalance(...)` will return a `Balance` type. Additionally the `api.queryMulti` and `.multi` on queries not allow generic type params.
- Add `api.rpc.accounts.nextIndex`, `api.rpc.contracts.call` and `api.rpc.rpc.methods` calls. Optional calls (such as account/contracts) is decorated based on the results from `rpc.methods`, so they don't show up on nodes where they are not active.
- Updated types to support the latest Polkadot/Substrate master changes
- Support recursive type registration (self-referencing via `Box`) in addition to better sanitation of user-defined-types
- Documentation and example updates (thanks mostly to contributions)


## 0.92.1 Sep 12, 2019

Changes:

- Bump to `@polkadot/util` 1.4.1, removing use of `ExtError`
- The `Keyring` from `@polkadot/keyring` is now exposed on the API as well. You can do `import { Keyring } from '@polkadot/api'` - this alleviates the need for extra dependencies (apart from `@polkadot/api`), and since the keyring is critical for signing operations, aligns everything in one bundle
- Support the latest Polkadot & Substrate master branches (incl. metadata updates)
- Getting started documentation has been made available


## 0.91.1 Sep 09, 2019

Changes:

- This release was focussed on stability, with a number of cleanups and bug-fixes
- Adjustments for Substrate 1.x chain detection (with auto-types) and Substrate 2.x support has been extended with all latest types
- The `getRuntimeVersion` and `subscribeRuntimeVersion` RPCs are now only available on the `rpc.state.*` endpoints. This aligns with the Substrate implementation.
- The `author_insertKey` RPC's last argument `publicKey` is now required, as to reflect Substrate implementation.
- Support for extrinsics with versions that is not in the base Substrate implementation (V1-V3) can now be done by providing an implementation for `ExtrinsicUnknown`
- Redeemed balance calculation if `api.derive` now returns the correct  values again (bug fix)
- added the `yarn chain:info [--ws URL]` utility to extract a calls-only metadata version
- Missing types are now logged via a `console.warn`, not via `.error`
- `Extrinsic`, `ExtrinsicPayload` & `SignerPayload` is registered in the type registry and can be overridden now
  - **Breaking change** `SignerPayload` is renamed to `SignerPayloadJSON`
  - **Breaking change** `SignerPayloadJSON`, `SignerPayloadRawBase` and `SignerPayloadRaw` are all moved to `@polkadot/types`


## 0.90.1 Aug 24, 2019

If you are upgrading form an older version, use the CHANGELOG hand-in-hand with the [migration guide](UPGRADING.md).

- **Breaking change** `api.rpc.chain.subscribeNewHeads` is now available as opposed to the old `subscribeNewHead`. This aligns with the Substrate implementation.
- **Breaking change** Substrate 2.x & Polkadot master has moved both `BlockNumber` & `Index` to `u32`. The API tracks these closely. If you are running a chain with `u64` values (for either), pass the type override to the API on creation, e.g. `ApiPromise.create({ types: { BlockNumber: 'u64', Index: 'u64' } })` to avoid getting warnings about mismatched types.
- **Breaking change** `Api.create(...)` and `new Api(...)` now only takes an options Object, so if you passed the provider directly previously, you need to swap the use to `Api.create({ provider: ... })`
- **Breaking change** Runtime types have been extended and moved to definitions instead of classes
  - Primitive types for `i*` and `u*` (e.g. `u32`) are now only available in their lowercase versions. Additionally `Vector` is now only available as `Vec`, and `Method` has been renamed to `Call`, in both cases aligning with Rust.
  - `Moment` now implements as `u64` as per the Substrate codebase. (It it up to the user to interpret, for substrate 2.x it is not ms resolution)
  - For creation of types, it is recommended to use `createType(<TypeName>, <value>)` instead of e.g. `new Proposal(...)`. When passing these to methods/queries, construction should not be needed, the raw value can be passed.
  - For moved types, a previous import would have been from `@polkadot/types`, i.e. `import { SetIndex } from '@polkadot/types`, now just the interfaces (TypeScript) are available via `import { SetIndex } from '@polkadot/types/interfaces`
  - `usize` is now a blacklisted type that will throw on construction. Since it is platform-specific, it creates incompatibilities between native (generally `u64`) and WASM (always `u32`) code. Use one of the `u32` or `u64` types explicitly.

Changes:

- Support substrate v7 metadata
- The `Method.findFunction(callIndex)` (allowing decoding of raw data), is now available on `api.findCall(callIndex)`. To keep backwards compatibility, it is still available on `GenericCall.findMethod` but the `api.findCall` is recommended and suggested.
- The `types/codec/createType` has been moved to `types/codec/create` with the same exports. If you explicitly imported from here (and not doing the suggested `import { createType } from '@polkadot/types`), the reference needs to be updated


## 0.82.0-beta.x Jul 28, 2019

Changes:

- Support for substrate 2.x (master) has been extended,
  - Additional types have been addedd for the modules
  - `api.derive.contract` is now `api.derive.contracts` to align with the substrate 2.x rename. (Feature detection is used so it supports both 1.x and 2.x chains)
  - Addition of `api.derive.elections`

- Support latest substrate 2 v6 metadata with module constants using `api.consts`.
  - The api now uses the module name for the storage methods, aligning module names for consistency with transactions. The methods of the grandpa module moved from `api.query.grandpaFinality` to `api.query.grandpa`.
  - Internally the `@polkadot/extrinsics` and `@polkadot/storage` have been moved to `@polkadot/api-metadata` and are now accessible as `@polkadot/api-metadata/extrinsics` and `@polkadot/api-metadata/storage`, respectively.
  - **Breaking Change** Vote interface extends U8a instead of i8. Vote properties can be accessed via the `isAye`, `isNay`, and `conviction` getters. Votes can still be constructed as before with a raw JS boolean, a SCALE encoded Boolean, an i8 number, or a JS object with properties `aye` and `conviction` defined.

- Support V2 Extrinsics in addition to V1, v2 includes an optional `tip`
  - In addition to this support, the `Signer` interface has deprecated the `sign` method and replaced it with `signPayload`
  - Support for the `sign` interfaces (API detection and calling when `signPayload` is not available) will be removed in subsequent versions.

- The `ContractsAbi` type has been moved from `@polkadot/types` to `import { Abi } from '@polkadot/api-contract`. This paves the way for an enhanced contracts interface, instead of dealing with low-level API calls.


## 0.81.1 Jun 14, 2019

Changes:

- The dependency on `@polkadot/keyring` has been removed - if you relied on the API to provide this, you would now need to manually add it
- `createType` allows for the creation of `[u8; <length>]` types (opening the door for contract support)
- `api.derive.staking.info` now returns the `rewardDestination`
- Fix for disconnection when default providers (non-specified) are used
- Don't console.log type decoding errors and then throw, only re-throw with additional info
- Support latest substrate 2.x v5 metadata
  - Add `ApprovalFlag`, `SetIndex`, `VoterInfo` types for council as per substrate
  - Update `ContractInfo` to match substrate master

- Add support for new inherent digests from substrate.
  - **Breaking change** Because of the new `Seal`, the old/new Seals are not compatible. If you were using the old `Seal` from the `Digest`s, you would now use `isSealV0` for the pre-substrate 1.0 version and the new `isSeal` for the current version
  - Update `HeaderExtended` to retrieve author information from substrate 2.x (new `PreRuntime` digests)

- Cater for `Vec`, `Option`, `Result`, tuples and fixed vectors for contracts ABIs
- Additional examples for subscriptions using multi
- Add `off` method to `Api` (Base, for both `ApiPromise` & `ApiRx`) to remove an event listener


## 0.80.1 Jun 04, 2019

Changes:

- Support for mortal transactions
- Better DoubleMap storage support
- api-derive cleanups, including additional info for balances.all and taking.info returning redeemable and locked balances
- Added SignaturePayloadRaw for better offline signing support
- Updated metadata for current substrate master
- Misc. cleanups and fixes


## 0.79.1 May 22, 2019

Changes:

- DoubleMap query support
- Support latest EventRecord metadata (substrate master)
- Introduce RuntimeVersion type overrides in api/nodeCompat.ts
- Add `api.queryMulti` and `api.query.<module>.<method>.multi`
- Convert `api.derive.*` to use multi queries
- `types/codec/Set` now extends the base JS `Set` (**breaking change**: `set.values` -> `set.strings`)
- Breaking: rename `meta.arguments` to `meta.args` in function metadata (`arguments` is a JS reserved word)
- Add `toRawType` on all type classes (breakdown into primitive types)


## 0.78.1 May 08, 2019

Changes:

- Fix linked-maps (not working since 0.77.1)
- Convert Usize to U32 (as found in WASM environments)
- Allow pre-bundled metadata in API create & constructor
- Don't clobber existing keys in structs when auto-adding fields
- Additional logging when constructing Structs as to where failures occur
- Do type assertion on all exposed asXXX getters
- Metadata updates for substrate (WithdrawReasons, ContractInfo)


## 0.77.1 Apr 25, 2019

Changes:

- Support Metadata v4, which introduces the use of a custom hasher to hash storage map keys.
- Add TreasuryProposal (not the same as democracy, type aliased)


## 0.76.1 Apr 03, 2019

Changes:

- Caching improvements (duplicate queries, no duplicate subscriptions)
- Experimental contract API
- Update @polkadot/keyring to enable Alice's stash account on dev chains
- Update @polkadot/util-crypto with smaller footprint


## 0.75.1 Mar 29, 2019

Changes:

- Start journey to 1.0


## 0.53.1 Mar 29, 2019

Changes:

- Change spelling to US English as per substrate master (1.0-rc1). Breaking changes as a result:
  - For extrinsic status results, if you have checked the type returns, i.e. `result.type === 'Finalised'` now check on the status for `result.status.isFinalized` or `result.status.isBroadcast`, ... (the `type` property is now accessible only on `result.status.type`)
  - If using `subscribeFinalisedHeads` update this to `subscribeFinalizedHeads` (likewise `getFinalisedHead` should be updated to `getFinalizedHead` and `derive.bestNumberFinalized`)
- The underlying ss58 address checksums have changed
  - The updated keyring with support for this has been made available
  - All examples have been updated with sr25519 addresses (with the new checksums)


## 0.52.1 Mar 28, 2019

Changes:

- Support queries to linked mapped storage (found in new staking interfaces)
- Add `derive.staking.controllers` to retrieve all active staking controllers
- Align types as per latest substrate master
- PeerInfo from system_peers does not have the index field anymore (dropped in substrate)
- Allow parsing of V3 metadata with DoubleMap support
- Check for single instances for api and types as they are loaded (assertSingletonPackage)


## 0.51.1 Mar 25, 2019

Changes:

- Support metadata V2 as per latest substrate master
- Update metadata with new types as per latest substrate master


## 0.50.1 Mar 23, 2019

Changes:

- Latest util-crypto (usage of WASM with JS fallbacks if not available)
- Update upstream @polkadot dependencies (for new crypto)


## 0.49.1 Mar 20, 2019

Changes:

- Fix large message signing on non-known nodes (default is now hashing, there has been enough time between upgrades)


## 0.48.1 Mar 18, 2019

Changes:

- Pull in new sr25519 capable keyring for dev nodes
- When using dev mode, it assumes that the node is the latest with derived sr25519 keys


## 0.47.1 Mar 14, 2019

Changes:

- Swap to publishing -beta.x on merge (non-breaking testing)


## 0.46.1 Mar 01, 2019

Changes:

- Extended type registration to now handle internal types as well. Additionally the built-in Extrinsic type can now we overridden with a custom version.
- Where `Extrinsic` and `Method` is used as types, consider importing `{ IMethod, IExtrinsic }` from `@polkadot/types/types`, especially in the cases where this is used from a `SubmittableExtrinsic`
- The `typeRegistry` constant is now `getTypeRegistry()` as a function


## 0.45.1 Feb 19, 2019

Changes:

- Storage with option values now correctly return `Option<Type>` and is indicated as such in the documentation

```js
// old
const ll = await api.query.session.lastLengthChange();

console.log('ll', ll /* BlockNumber */); // would be 0 if not set yet

// new
const llo = await api.query.session.lastLengthChange();

console.log('llo', llo.unwrapOr('not set') /* Option<BlockNumber> */)
```


## 0.44.1 Feb 19, 2019

Changes:

- Split primitives and types into separate folders. This should not affect external use since the exports remain the same, however does have an impact where classes are referenced directly. e.g.

```js
// old (affected)
import Method from '@polkadot/types/Method';
import Signature from '@polkadot/types/Signature';

// new locations
import Method from '@polkadot/types/primitive/Method';
import Signature from '@polkadot/types/type/Signature';

// unaffected
import { Method, Signature } from '@polkadot/types';
```


## 0.43.1 Feb 14, 2019

Changes:

- Introduces support for the new keyring with sr25519 support in addition to ed25519. While this does not change the exposed API, it is considered breaking since @polkadot/keyring has interface changes. (Unless needed, don't rush the upgrade)


## 0.42.1 Jan 31, 2019

Changes:

- Support for substrate hash signing with implVersion >= 18
- Changed signatures for Extrinsic signing, this should not have (much) of an impact since it is generally not used directly. SubmittableExtrinsic (as exposed by the API), supports the old-style use.


## 0.41.1 Jan 26, 2019

Changes:

- Support the V1 metadata specification from Substrate in addition to the currently testnet active V0 version


## 0.40.1 Jan 16, 2019

Changes:

- The API interfaces now require a WS-compatible provider, e.g. subscription support is a must. Previously the HTTPProvider could be use (although it was very limited in the interactions).


## 0.39.1 Jan 11, 2019

Changes:

- The Promise API now returns a `Promise<UnsubFunction>` instead of `UnsubFunction` when making subscriptions.


## 0.38.1 Jan 08, 2019

Changes:

Substrate has been updated with a breaking new transaction format where the Index/Nonce is now encoded as a Compact. This change is being rolled out to both Alexander (Polkadot testnet) as well as Charred Cherry (Substrate testnet) - transactions between old and new are not compatible.


## 0.37.1 Jan 04, 2019

Changes:

api-observable has been removed. This was only used in /apps and inconsistent with the api/rx and api/promise APIs. Future work will include derives like was included in api-observable into the base.

Tuples now return single types when only one type is available, i.e. `(AccountId)` would now resolve as `AccountId`. The extra type wrapper adds no benefit to users here.


## 0.36.1 Jan 03, 2019

Changes:

Api Promise has been updated in the way we deal with subscriptions. Previously a subscription returned `Promise<number>` where the caller was to keep track of the id and use it in subsequent unsubscribes. Now any subscriptions return an unsubscribe/destroy function `(): void`, that is use for removing the subscriptions, e.g.

```js
const unsubscribe = api.query.balance.freeBalance(Alice, (balance) => {...});

unsubscribe(); // here we destroy the subscription
```


## 0.35.1 Dec 20, 2018

Changes:

Swapped to new metadata structures from Substrate. If the API is not working with your node, update Substrate to latest master branch. (Or 0.9.1 for Charred Cherry). Dropped support for old metadata as found as far back as BBQ Birch.


## 0.34.1 Dec 18, 2018

Changes:

Changed the send signature (for future expansion of eg. events) to return `result: { status: ExtrinsicStatus }` instead of `status: ExtrinsicStatus`. For most cases where only status `type` checks are used, i.e. `status.type === 'Finalised'` this should not be a breaking change. Deep inspection of the status object however will need to adapt.
