 ## Unreleased
 
+### Breaking Changes
+* Bump typescript to 5.x
+* Remove Node 14 support
+* Remove `assert` dependency. If you were catching `AssertionError` you need to change to `Error`
+* Configuring a proxy:
+    * Instead of passing various parameters on the `ConnectionsOptions` you know specify the `agent` parameter. This object can use be created by libraries such as `https-proxy-agent` or any that implements the `http.Agent`.
+    * This was changed to both support the latest `https-proxy-agent` and to remove the need to include the package in bundlers.   Tests will still be done using `https-proxy-agent` and only tested in a node environment which was the only way it was previously supported anyway
+* Remove `BroadcastClient` which was deprecated
+
+### Bundling Changes
+* Bundler configurations are much more simplified.
+    * removed the following polyfills:
+        * `assert`
+        * `buffer`
+        * `https-browserify`
+        * `os-browserify`
+        * `stream-browserify`
+        * `stream-http`
+        * `url`
+        * `util` - previously added automatically by `webpack`
+    * Removed mappings for:
+        * `ws` to `WsWrapper`
+        * Excluding `https-proxy-agent`
+
+### Changed
+* Remove `lodash` as a dependency
+* Remove many polyfills that were only used for testing in the browser
+* Remove `util` from bundle by switching `inspect` to `JSON.stringify`
+
+### Fixed
+* Fixed Wallet.generate() ignoring the `algorithm` parameter (Only a problem once binary-codec fix for `derive_keypair` is added)
+* Fixed Wallet.fromSeed() ignoring the `algorithm` parameter
+
 ## 2.14.1 (2024-02-01)
