### 0.5.0 (2018-11-13)

How to update your code:
 * Change every ``.call()`` to a ``.call("")`` and every ``.call(signature, a, b, c)`` to use ``.call(abi.encodeWithSignature(signature, a, b, c))`` (the last one only works for value types).
 * Change every ``keccak256(a, b, c)`` to ``keccak256(abi.encodePacked(a, b, c))``.
 * Add ``public`` to every function and ``external`` to every fallback or interface function that does not specify its visibility already.
 * Make your fallback functions ``external``.
 * Explicitly state the data location for all variables of struct, array or mapping types (including function parameters), e.g. change ``uint[] x = m_x`` to ``uint[] storage x = m_x``. Note that ``external`` functions require parameters with a data location of ``calldata``.
 * Explicitly convert values of contract type to addresses before using an ``address`` member. Example: if ``c`` is a contract, change ``c.transfer(...)`` to ``address(c).transfer(...)``.
 * Declare variables and especially function arguments as ``address payable``, if you want to call ``transfer`` on them.

Breaking Changes:
 * ABI Encoder: Properly pad data from calldata (``msg.data`` and external function parameters). Use ``abi.encodePacked`` for unpadded encoding.
 * C API (``libsolc`` / raw ``soljson.js``): Removed the ``version``, ``license``, ``compileSingle``, ``compileJSON``, ``compileJSONCallback`` methods
   and replaced them with the ``solidity_license``, ``solidity_version`` and ``solidity_compile`` methods.
 * Code Generator: Signed right shift uses proper arithmetic shift, i.e. rounding towards negative infinity. Warning: this may silently change the semantics of existing code!
 * Code Generator: Revert at runtime if calldata is too short or points out of bounds. This is done inside the ``ABI decoder`` and therefore also applies to ``abi.decode()``.
 * Code Generator: Use ``STATICCALL`` for ``pure`` and ``view`` functions. This was already the case in the experimental 0.5.0 mode.
 * Commandline interface: Remove obsolete ``--formal`` option.
 * Commandline interface: Rename the ``--julia`` option to ``--yul``.
 * Commandline interface: Require ``-`` if standard input is used as source.
 * Commandline interface: Use hash of library name for link placeholder instead of name itself.
 * Compiler interface: Disallow remappings with empty prefix.
 * Control Flow Analyzer: Consider mappings as well when checking for uninitialized return values.

### 0.4.0 (2016-09-08)

This release deliberately breaks backwards compatibility mostly to
enforce some safety features. The most important change is that you have
to explicitly specify if functions can receive ether via the ``payable``
modifier. Furthermore, more situations cause exceptions to be thrown.

Minimal changes to be made for upgrade:
 - Add ``payable`` to all functions that want to receive Ether
   (including the constructor and the fallback function).
 - Change ``_`` to ``_;`` in modifiers.
 - Add version pragma to each file: ``pragma solidity ^0.4.0;``

Breaking Changes:

 * Source files have to specify the compiler version they are
   compatible with using e.g. ``pragma solidity ^0.4.0;`` or
   ``pragma solidity >=0.4.0 <0.4.8;``
 * Functions that want to receive Ether have to specify the
   new ``payable`` modifier (otherwise they throw).
 * Contracts that want to receive Ether with a plain "send"
   have to implement a fallback function with the ``payable``
   modifier. Contracts now throw if no payable fallback
   function is defined and no function matches the signature.
 * Failing contract creation through "new" throws.
 * Division / modulus by zero throws.
 * Function call throws if target contract does not have code
 * Modifiers are required to contain ``_`` (use ``if (false) _`` as a workaround if needed).
 * Modifiers: return does not skip part in modifier after ``_``.
 * Placeholder statement `_` in modifier now requires explicit `;`.
 * ``ecrecover`` now returns zero if the input is malformed (it previously returned garbage).
 * The ``constant`` keyword cannot be used for constructors or the fallback function.
 * Removed ``--interface`` (Solidity interface) output option
 * JSON AST: General cleanup, renamed many nodes to match their C++ names.
 * JSON output: ``srcmap-runtime`` renamed to ``srcmapRuntime``.
 * Moved (and reworked) standard library contracts from inside the compiler to github.com/ethereum/solidity/std
   (``import "std";`` or ``import owned;`` do not work anymore).
 * Confusing and undocumented keyword ``after`` was removed.
 * New reserved words: ``abstract``, ``hex``, ``interface``, ``payable``, ``pure``, ``static``, ``view``.

Features:

 * Hexadecimal string literals: ``hex"ab1248fe"``
 * Internal: Inline assembly usable by the code generator.
 * Commandline interface: Using ``-`` as filename allows reading from stdin.
 * Interface JSON: Fallback function is now part of the ABI.
 * Interface: Version string now *semver* compatible.
 * Code generator: Do not provide "new account gas" if we know the called account exists.

Bugfixes:

 * JSON AST: Nodes were added at wrong parent
 * Why3 translator: Crash fix for exponentiation
 * Commandline Interface: linking libraries with underscores in their name.
 * Type Checker: Fallback function cannot return data anymore.
 * Code Generator: Fix crash when ``sha3()`` was used on unsupported types.
 * Code Generator: Manually set gas stipend for ``.send(0)``.

Lots of changes to the documentation mainly by voluntary external contributors.

### 0.3.5 (2016-06-10)

Features:
