Chainlink VRF Release Notes
2024-07-15 - Deprecation announcement
VRF V2 and V1 will be deprecated on November 29, 2024. Please migrate to VRF V2.5 before then.
The docs for VRF V2 are still available and have been moved to the legacy section:
2024-05-24 - Updated VRF V2.5 contracts
The @chainlink/contracts package version 1.1.1 is now available. It includes the updated wrapper and interface contracts for VRF 2.5 direct funding, which had not been included in the @chainlink/contracts package version 1.1.0. The DirectFundingConsumer.sol example contract has been updated to reflect this.
The @chainlink/contracts also includes an updated function signature for fulfillRandomWords in the VRFConsumerBaseV2Plus contract, which applies only to subscription users. This function signature has not changed in the VRFV2PlusWrapperConsumerBase, so this does not affect direct funding users.
When using package version 1.1.1 and later, update your fulfillRandomWords function signature to match the VRFConsumerBaseV2Plus contract, which has changed to:
function fulfillRandomWords(uint256 requestId, uint256[] calldata randomWords)
In the @chainlink/contracts package version 1.1.0 and earlier, the randomWords parameter has a memory storage location.
