v0.8.0-beta.3

Changed

• Client constructor takes the network as { network: ... } instead of { nodes: ... }

• Transactions and queries do not take Client in the constructor; instead, Client is passed to execute.

• Removed Transaction.executeForReceipt and Transaction.executeForRecord

  These methods have been identified as harmful as they hide too much. If one fails, you do not know if the transaction failed to execute; or, the receipt/record could not be retrieved. In a mission-critical application, that is, of course, an important distinction.

  Now there is only Transaction.execute which returns a TransactionId. If you don't care about waiting for consensus or retrieving a receipt/record in your application, you're done. Otherwise you can now use any TransactionId and ask for the receipt/record (with a stepped retry interval until consensus) with TransactionId.getReceipt and TransactionId.getRecord.

  v0.7.x and below

  let newAccountId = new AccountCreateTransaction(hederaClient)
      .setKey(newKey.publicKey)
      .setInitialBalance(1000)
      .executeForReceipt() // TransactionReceipt
      .accountId;

  v0.8.x

  let newAccountId = new AccountCreateTransaction()
      .setKey(newKey.publicKey)
      .setInitialBalance(1000)
      .execute(hederaClient) // TranactionId
      .getReceipt(hederaClient) // TransactionReceipt
      .accountId;

• Rename setPaymentDefault to setPaymentAmount

Added

• All transaction and query types that were in the Java SDK but not yet in the JS SDK (GetBySolidityIdQuery, AccountStakersQuery, etc.)

• TransactionId.getReceipt

• TransactionId.getRecord

• Transaction.toString. This will dump the transaction (incl. the body) to a stringified JSON object representation of the transaction. Useful for debugging.

• A default of 1 Hbar is now set for both maximum transaction fees and maximum query payments.

• Smart Contract type encoding and decoding to match Java.

• To/From string methods on AccountId, FileId, etc.

• Internal retry handling for Transactions and Queries (incl. BUSY)

Removed

• Transaction and Query types related to claims
