     1  ## Changelog for external API
     2  
     3  The API uses [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/).
     4  
     5  TL;DR: Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
     6  
     7  * MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
     8  * MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and
     9  * PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
    10  
    11  Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.

    14  ### 6.0.0
    15  
    16  * `New` was changed to deliver only an address, not the full `Account` data
    17  * `Export` was moved from External API to the UI Server API
    18  
    19  #### 5.0.0
    20  
    21  * The external `account_EcRecover`-method was reimplemented.
    22  * The external method `account_sign(address, data)` was replaced with `account_signData(contentType, address, data)`.
    23  The addition of `contentType` makes it possible to use the method for different types of objects, such as:
    24    * signing data with an intended validator (not yet implemented)
    25    * signing clique headers,
    26    * signing plain personal messages,
    27  * The external method `account_signTypedData` implements [EIP-712](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/EIPS/eip-712.md) and makes it possible to sign typed data.
    28  
    29  #### 4.0.0
    30  
    31  * The external `account_Ecrecover`-method was removed.
    32  * The external `account_Import`-method was removed.
    33  
    34  #### 3.0.0
    35  
    36  * The external `account_List`-method was changed to not expose `url`, which contained info about the local filesystem. It now returns only a list of addresses.
    37  
    38  #### 2.0.0
    39  
    40  * Commit `73abaf04b1372fa4c43201fb1b8019fe6b0a6f8d`, move `from` into `transaction` object in `signTransaction`. This
    41  makes the `accounts_signTransaction` identical to the old `eth_signTransaction`.
    42  
    43  
    44  #### 1.0.0
    45  
    46  Initial release.
