     1  ### Changelog for external API
     2  
     3  ### 6.0.0
     4  
     5  * `New` was changed to deliver only an address, not the full `Account` data
     6  * `Export` was moved from External API to the UI Server API
     7  
     8  #### 5.0.0
     9  
    10  * The external `account_EcRecover`-method was reimplemented.
    11  * The external method `account_sign(address, data)` was replaced with `account_signData(contentType, address, data)`.
    12  The addition of `contentType` makes it possible to use the method for different types of objects, such as:
    13    * signing data with an intended validator (not yet implemented)
    14    * signing clique headers,
    15    * signing plain personal messages,
    16  * 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.
    17    
    18  #### 4.0.0
    19  
    20  * The external `account_Ecrecover`-method was removed. 
    21  * The external `account_Import`-method was removed.
    22  
    23  #### 3.0.0
    24  
    25  * 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. 
    26  
    27  #### 2.0.0
    28  
    29  * Commit `73abaf04b1372fa4c43201fb1b8019fe6b0a6f8d`, move `from` into `transaction` object in `signTransaction`. This
    30  makes the `accounts_signTransaction` identical to the old `eth_signTransaction`.
    31  
    32  
    33  #### 1.0.0
    34  
    35  Initial release.

    37  ### Versioning
    38  
    39  The API uses [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/).
    40  
    41  TLDR; Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
    42  
    43  * MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
    44  * MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and
    45  * PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
    46  
    47  Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
