common/CHANGELOG.md

2.0.1

• Update w3f/schnorrkel to 0.8.5 (Full Substrate 2.x support, no 1.x support)
• Remove Alice session (ed2551) account from testing keyring (not applicable to Substrate 2.x)
• Remove chainspec, db, trie-codec, trie-db and trie-hash packages (moved to client)
• Renamed assertSingletonPackage to detectPackage with inclusion of version listing
• Swap to elliptic library for secp2561 recovery (No node bindings)

1.8.1

• Add cross-client encryption/decryption support (Thanks to https://github.com/hskang9)

1.7.1

• formatBalance signature now allows to force unit displays
• Keypair now allows for derive on a pair, with pair.derive(...)
• assert now acts like a real asserts, with no return - signature adapted for new TS 3.7

1.6.1

• pair.sign(message) now takes an optional second options?: SignOptions parameter, where SignOptions is currently defined as { withType: boolean }. Here withType instructs the signing to prepend the type of signature (ed2551, sr25519 or ecdsa). This is used for the new Polkadot/Substrate MultiSignature format.

1.5.1

• Fix typings on the Keyring-exposed encode & decodeAddress
• Allow ss58Format = 0 as a valid value
• Loosen type definitions for allowed ss58format values (still checked against allowed array)

1.4.1

• Breaking change To set the ss58Format, you should now use setSS58Format as opposed to the old setAddressPrefix
• Renamed keyring.setAddressPrefix to keyring.setSS58Format
• Deprecated addressPrefix on the keyring options, added the ss58Format as a replacement (aligning with chain properties - the old version is still accepted)
• Added stringToHex and hexToString conversion utilities to @polkadot/util
• Swap to Babel 7.6.0 for all compilation, for latest improvements in code generation

1.3.1

• Remove the ExtError class, always prefer the standard JS Error object for errors. This would bre a breaking change for any applications using ExtError

1.2.1

• Keyring addFromAddress can now be used to store external accounts, for example those provided by external signers
• Maintainability updates

1.1.1

• assertSingletonPackage now warns via console.warn, but does not throw. This does allow the info to come accross while still allowing the app developers using multiple libraries time to fix.

1.0.1

• formatBalance now allows for Compact inputs
• formaBalance now allows correct formatting of very large decimals

0.94.1

• Add checkAddress(address, prefix) to @polkadot/util-crypto that validates an ss-58 address
• Add support for the Kusama network (as a valid checked prefix)
• Add an asm.js fallback for the React Native environment (via @polkadot/wasm-crypto)
• The ed25519 key for Alice (representing the session), now appears in the test keyrings
• Fix missing dependencies for keyring (after address moves in 0.93.1)

0.93.1

• Breaking: External pair interface for keyring has been changed. Instead of
  • getMeta use the meta getter, i.e. console.log(pair.meta.name)
  • address use the address getter, i.e. console.log(pair.address)
  • publicKey use the publicKey getter, i.e. console.log(pair.publicKey)
• Move decodeAddress, encodeAddress & setAddressPrefix functions into @polkadot/util-crypto from @polkadot/keyring. External interfaces should not be affected at this point since it is also (still) exported and exposed on keyring

0.92.1

• Only allow integer input values into formatBalance
• Allow formatBalance, formatDecimal & formatNumber to cater for negative numbers
• Add 'Bob//stash' to testing keyring, joining the existing 'Alice//stash'

0.91.1

• ed25519/sr25519 sign & verify functions can now take the message input as Uint8Array/string/hex and verify allows for the signature/publicKey to be specified as Uint8Array/hex
• Update @polkadot/wasm to include a maintenance bump for the w3f/schnorrkel libraries

0.90.1

• Moving towards 1.0
• Added bnMin & bnMax functions

0.76.1

• Fix addFromMnemonic to generate using new-style derivation.
• Pull in formatBalance, formatDecimal, formatElapsed, formatNumber, calcSi, findSi & isTestChain utility functions from the originals in @polkadot/ui-util
• Swap out wasm-schnorrkel & wasm-ed25519 for combined version with wasm-crypto
• Swap DB interfaces to optional LRU, removing transactionAsync (client-only changes)

0.75.1

• Start journey to 1.0

0.42.1

• Add assertSingletonPackage to util
• Ensure that only a single keyring instance is loaded (uses above)

0.41.1

• Extensions to the client-specific database interfaces (non-breaking for API and util users)

0.40.1

• Add additional derivation path extraction mechanisms to util-crypto
• Add createFromUri function to keypair (creates keypair, does not add it)
• Allow all crypto hashing & ed25519 to use WASM (as available, JS fallbacks)

0.39.1

• Pull in bip39 generation functions from @poladkot/wasm-crypto with a fallback to the pure JS versions

0.38.1

• Align with current substrate master for sr25519 keys and hard/soft derivation
• Swap default dev keys to derived (sr25519)

0.37.1

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

0.36.1

• Add fromUri to keyring along with hard & soft key derivation.

0.35.1

• Remove NodeJs-only syncify function, not exported by the package (with binary dependency for Node)

0.34.1

• Keyring now allows for ed25519 and sr25519 instances. Upon creation, you need to pass the ed25519or sr25519 string to denote the type, i.e. new Keyring({ type: 'sr25519' })
