 ### Changelog for external API
 
+#### 5.0.0
+
+* The external `account_EcRecover`-method was added again.
+* The external method `accounts_Sign(address, data)` was replaced with `accounts_signData(contentType, address, data)`.     
+The addition of `contentType` makes it possible to use the method for different types of objects, such as:
+  * signing data with an intended validator (not yet implemented)
+  * signing clique headers,
+  * signing plain personal messages,
+  * signing structured data adhering to [EIP-712](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-712) (not yet implemented)
+  
 #### 4.0.0
 
 * The external `account_Ecrecover`-method was removed. 
 * The external `account_Import`-method was removed.
 
+
 #### 3.0.0
 
 * 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.
