* Start working on getting rid of unreleased.rst
Document new process in CONTRIBUTING.md,
.github/pull_request_template.md and unreleased.rst (for good measure)
Report the previous changelog additions here so that they're not lost in
the mist of times.
CHANGELOG_BEGIN
- [DAML Stdlib] Added the ``NumericScale`` typeclass, which improves the type inference for Numeric literals, and helps catch the creation of out-of-bound Numerics earlier in the compilation process.
- [DAML Triggers] ``emitCommands`` now accepts an additional argument
that allows you to mark contracts as pending. Those contracts will
be automatically filtered from the result of ``getContracts`` until
we receive the corresponding completion/transaction.
- [Navigator] Fixed a bug where Navigator becomes unresponsive if the ledger does not contain any DAML packages.
- [Ledger-API] Add field ``gen_map`` in Protobuf definition for ledger
api values. This field is used to support generic maps, an new
feature currently in development. See issue
https://github.com/digital-asset/daml/pull/3356 for more details
about generic maps.
The Ledger API will send no messages where this field is set, when
using a stable version of DAML-LF. However the addition of this
field may cause pattern-matching exhaustive warnings in the code of
ledger API clients. Those warnings can be safely ignored until
GenMap is made stable in an upcoming version of DAML-LF.
- [JSON API - Experimental] CLI configuration to enable serving static content as part of the JSON API daemon:
``--static-content "directory=/full/path,prefix=static"``
This configuration is NOT recommended for production deployment. See issue #2782.
- [Extractor] The app can now work against a Ledger API server that requires client authentication. See `issue #3157 <https://github.com/digital-asset/daml/issues/3157>`__.
- [DAML Script] This release contains a first version of an experimental DAML script
feature that provides a scenario-like API that is run against an actual ledger.
- [DAML Compiler] The default DAML-LF version is now 1.7. You can
still produce DAML-LF 1.6 by passing ``--target=1.6`` to ``daml
build``.
- [JSON API - Experimental] The database schema has changed; if using
``--query-store-jdbc-config``, you must rebuild the database by adding
``,createSchema=true``.
See `issue #3461 <https://github.com/digital-asset/daml/pull/3461>`_.
- [JSON API - Experimental] Terminate process immediately after creating schema. See issue #3386.
- [DAML Stdlib] ``fromAnyChoice`` and ``fromAnyContractKey`` now take
the template type into account.

merge strategy for this file.
