CHANGELOG

12.0.1 June 24, 2024

Important Changes:

  • Addition of an optional signedTransaction field to the SignerResult response for injected signers. This only applies to the signPayload method exposed in the Signer interface for polkadot-js. As the name suggests the field expects a signed transaction (extrinsic) when inputted. When its present, the api will not add the signature to the payload, but instead broadcast the inputted signed transaction. This means the signer may modify the payload it's given. The only part of the payload that may not be modified is the call data. This is verified on the api, and will throw an error if it does not match the initial payloads call data.
    • This is very useful for signers that want to adjust the mode and metadataHash field for the CheckMetadataHash signed extension.
    • Note that this is not your traditional breaking change since it more-so acts as an addition, but since this is a high magnitude change it is going to be considered a MAJOR bump.
    • For more info please review the following PR (#5914)

Changes:

  • Replace system_accountNextIndex with runtime api call accountNonceApi for api.derive.tx.signingInfo

Changes:

  • Fix period assumption on signingInfo (derive)
  • Bump dev to 0.79.3
  • Update {Polkadot, Kusama, Westend} types-known
  • Bump Substrate metadata to latest
    • NOTE: Moving forward when bumping the metadata for {Polkadot, Kusama, Substrate} the version will always be a minor bump since it can add, modify, remove augmented types.

  • 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

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:

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.
  • Allow for signed extensions to be supplied inside type bundles
  • Ensure that the auto-connect state is checked on auto-connections (respecting disconnect)
  • Added CancelProxy to `ProxyTypes on Polkadot, Kusama & Westend

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:

Changes:

  • Allow .slice operator on the Vec type
  • Apply MultiAddress as a default
  • Adds support for the upcoming Polkadot 28 and Kusama 2028 runtimes
  • Add checkpoint for Kusama 2027 upgrade
  • Update all parachain types (as per latest Rococo)

  • 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)

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.

Contributed:

Changes:

  • Remove recursion in vector/struct U8a stream decoding
  • Availability of staking made optional in session length calcs (era does require it)
  • Updates to parachain types, ensuring it has coverage for all the latest

  • Update known upgrade checkpoints fo WestEnd
  • Add types of the lottery module in Substrate
  • Add and extend types for the crowdloan module in Polkadot
  • Adjust node-template to default to MultiAddress on specVersion >= 100

3.4.1 Jan 11, 2020

Upgrade priority: Low. Fixes for parachain types, .entries() (with no values) and event.is(...) checks, users of these interfaces will have benefit.

  • Breaking change The derive.chain.{getBlock, subscribeNewBlocks} now return SignedBlockExtended, all with the actual extrinsics and events mapped. Users of the latter interface should take note.

Contributed:

Changes:

  • derive.chain.getBlock() now maps events to extrinsics via .extrinsics getter
  • Ensure dispatchInfo is extracted on failed extrinsics (getBlock derive)

  • Update to latest Substrate static metadata
  • Update @polkadot/util to 5.1.1

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:

Changes:

  • Build and expose both cjs and esm via exports map
  • Inject RPC definitions for typesBundle, allowing per-spec configuration
  • Added query.<section>.<method>.sizeAt(hash, [...params]) for all storage

  • Apply current Polkadot master parachain types
  • Apply current Substrate master asset types
  • Add system_{addLogFilter, resetLogFilter} RPCs
  • Adjust tests for latest Substrate metadata
  • Adjust staking derives to be more performant (flags indicate which query values to retrieve)
  • Add account derive to cater for the availability of identities
  • Use import type in all cases

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.

  • Adjust staking derive for electedInfo to contain details of current validators
  • Extract identity-only derive from accounts.info for simpler reusability
  • Add types for Substrate master node (to allow for consistent swapping to MultiAddress)

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 (including isSuccess/isError -> isOk/isErr, and the availability of the gasConsumed)

2.1.1 Oct 5, 2020

Upgrade priority: Low.

Contributed:

Changes:

  • Adjust RPC error formatting with string cleanups and a larger allowed range
  • Apply limit protection on Text & Bytes, protecting against OOM on erroneous decoding
  • Add derive.staking.validatorsFrom to determine validators nominated and own validators
  • Cleanup document generation without (currently unused) summary links
  • Rename static TRANSACTION_VERSION to EXTRINSIC_VERSION (Substrate alignment)
  • Bump Substrate metadata (tests, doc generation)

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.

Contributed:

Changes:

  • Drop support for Substrate 1.0 metadata versions 1-8
  • Drop support for Substrate 1.0 extrinsics version 1-3

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:

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)
  • Support for Metadata v12 with fixed indices
  • Cleanups for WebSocket class detection and creation

  • 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:

Changes:

  • Adjust memoization to work on a per-instance basis, with no contamination between multiple api/provider instances
  • Added derive.chain.getBlock(hash) to retrieve a SignedBlock extended with an .author (same as derive.chain.getHeader(...))
  • Added api.{connect, disconnect}() as well as isConnected interfaces. The first functions async returning Promise<void>
  • Error on provider connections will now emit all (as expected) via the event emitter
  • Ensure that initial connection failures always retry (when using auto-connection management)
  • The api.derive.staking.query/queryMulti no longer retrieves session keys (can be done via .keys/keysMulti)
  • Add api.derive.accounts.accountId to perform AccountId lookups (from indices or actual AccountId)
  • Lessen load of paymentInfo queries to only use accounId mappings as available

  • Important Substrate changed the CompactAssignment type enhanced types for session solution submissions. If on an older chain consider adding CompactAssignments: 'CompactAssignmentsTo257'

Contributed:

Changes:

  • Add transparent support for types/metadata, i.e. hash queries such as rpc.chain.getBlock(<hash>) & query.system.events.at(<hash>) now works out-of-the-box injecting the correct metadata & types.

0.99.1 Dec 13, 2019

  • Breaking change The Data and U8a type has been renamed and just replaced with the Raw type
  • Breaking change The api.derive.staking.info has been split into 2 - staking.query for non-balance related information (more effective) and staking.account that enhances query for all the information previously found .info

Changes:

  • Cleanup DoubleMap hashing to always hash over the full value (in the case of Vec<T>, this includes the length)
  • Update democracy derives to take care of nextTally and lowestUnbaked
  • Add additional derives for both council & treasury

0.98.1 Dec 04, 2019

Contributed:

Changes:

  • Alignment of types with Substrate/Polkadot master branches

0.97.1 Nov 29, 2019

  • Breaking change Add the passing on an explicit Registry to all calls to createType as well as all codec classes. If you are upgrading form an older version, use the migration guide to walk through the changes required.
  • 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'

  • api.derive.* now has built-in memomization
  • Various fixes and cleanups to api.derive.* including era length progress and vesting calculations
  • Aligned all types with the latest Polkadot & Substrate, including Kusama CC3
  • Support for Metadata V9, which adjusts the hashing methods of storage entries
  • Support for Metadata V10 (still un-released), which includes prefixed map support

Changes:

  • Updated types for latest Kusama
  • Add filterRecords (in addition to findRecord) on submittable results
  • Various ABI v2 contract fixes

  • Add vesting totals & locked breakdowns to derive balances
  • Update council derives for the latest Substrate master support (with constants)
  • Derive cleanups, including sharing of instances between the API and internal to derives

0.95.2 Oct 25, 2019

Changes:

  • Temporary removal of account_nextIndex use, will be re-added in a future release

0.95.1 Oct 25, 2019

  • Breaking change Call.injectMethods is moved to Call.injectMetadata to align with Events (This should not be used externally, however mentioned as breaking here)

Changes:

  • Support Extrinsic V4 with additional signature indicator (Latest Polkadot/Substrate/Kusama)
  • 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)
  • Support for BTreeMap<K, V> types and definitions
  • All latest Polkadot & Substrate types (as per master branches)

0.94.1 Oct 07, 2019

Changes:

  • Add handling of Result<Ok, Error> definitions
  • Adjust API cloning now takes RPC filters from source into account
  • Simplification of isPedantic checks and less overhead on StorageData types
  • Cleanups and fixes around RPC and derive type definitions
  • Fix derive.imOnline.receivedHeartbeats to query via indexes
  • Adjustment of api.derive.elections.{approvalsOf|approvalsOfAt} to allow ss58 address input
  • Cleanup Enum .eq handling to be more exhaustive
  • Add documentation for custom extrinsic formats (advanced chains)
  • Update to latest substrate master metadata

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:

  • The API now correctly sets the ss58 prefix as retrieved from the chain properties via ss58Format
  • 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.

  • 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 Digests, 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
// 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.
// 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.

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.
