### Changes in HF24/Eclipse RPC nodes:
Almost everything is rebranded in this version. You have to update anything that includes the word "steem" or "sbd" in your apps.
***
** **ATTENTION** **
All the listed changes will only take effect on the eclipse RPC nodes. It means you must not apply the updates in the production until there is a final release candidate.
Also, the old public nodes will continue running to give you enough time for updating your applications.
In the meantime, @gtg maintains an early version which you can test your apps with `https://beta.openhive.network/` (It is the mainnet)
***
Affected operations:
- `comment_options` (!)
Old: `percent_steem_dollars`
New: `percent_hbd`
- `escrow_transfer`
Old: `steem_amount`, `sbd_amount`
New: `hive_amount`, `hbd_amount`
- `escrow_release`
Old: `steem_amount`, `sbd_amount`
New: `hive_amount`, `hbd_amount`
- `claim_reward_balance`
Old: `reward_steem`, `reward_sbd`
New: `reward_hive`, `reward_hbd`
- `author_reward` (virtual operation)
Old: `steem_payout`, `sbd_payout`

Old: `sbd_interest_rate`, `sbd_exchange_rate`
New: `hbd_interest_rate`, `hbd_exchange_rate`
***

Replace all the `steem` with `hive` and all the `sbd` with `hbd` in the received JSON object.
There is one exception in `percent_steem_dollars` which is now `percent_hbd`!

## Updated libraries:
#### Hive-js (see [v0.8.2](https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/hive-js/-/releases/v0.8.2))
In order to connect to the eclipse RPC nodes, you have to set `rebranded_api` in the `config.json` to `true`.
Or
```
hive.config.set('rebranded_api', true)
hive.broadcast.updateOperations()
```
There is also a helper function to get the node version and update the config:
```
hive.utils.autoDetectApiVersion().then(() => {
hive.broadcast.updateOperations()
})
```
Note: Calling `hive.broadcast.updateOperations()` is necessary after updating the `rebranded_api`.
***
#### Dhive (see [MR16](https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/dhive/-/merge_requests/16) - v0.14.1)
In order to connect to the eclipse RPC nodes, the easy way is:
```
const client = new dhive.Client("https://rpc", { rebrandedApi: true })
```
Or
```
client.updateOperations(true) // true: hf24
```
And with the helper function:
```
const client = new dhive.Client("https://rpc")
client.database.getVersion().then((res) => {
if (res.blockchain_version !== '0.23.0') {
client.updateOperations(true)
}
})
```
***
#### Hive-tx (see [v3.1.8](https://github.com/mahdiyari/hive-tx-js/releases/tag/v3.1.8))
```
hiveTx.config.rebranded_api = true
hiveTx.updateOperations()
```
OR
```
hiveTx.call('condenser_api.get_version').then(res => {
if (res.result.blockchain_version !== '0.23.0') {
hiveTx.config.rebranded_api = true
hiveTx.updateOperations()
}
})
```
***
Beem is also updated: https://github.com/holgern/beem/releases/tag/0.24.5
For the other libraries visit their repository for more information.
***
Note: the chain id is also changed in the HF24. But you don't have to worry about it since the libraries will take care of that.
