+# [v1.1.8] (2023-01-31)
+
+### Added
+
+- Rust SDK - Support SURBS (anonymous send + storage) ([#2754])
+- dkg rerun from scratch and dkg-specific epochs ([#2810])
+- Rename `'initial_supply'` field to `'total_supply'` in the circulating supply endpoint ([#2931])
+- Circulating supply api endpoint (read the note inside before testing/deploying) ([#1902])

 ### Changed

- all-binaries: improved error logging ([#2686])
- native client: bring shutdown logic up to the same level as socks5-client
- nym-api, coconut-dkg contract: automatic, time-based dkg epoch state advancement ([#2670])
+- nym-api: an `--id` flag is now always explicitly required ([#2873])

+
+### Added
+
+- Gateways now shut down gracefully ([#2019]).
+- Rust SDK - Initial version for nym-client ([#2669]).
+- Introduce vesting contract query for addresses of all vesting accounts (required for the circulating supply calculation) ([#2778]).
+- Add threshold value to the contract storage ([#1893])
+
+### Changed
+
+- Refactor vesting account storage (and in particular, ACCOUNTS saving) ([#2795]).
+- Move from manual advancing DKG state to an automatic process ([#2670]).

+
+### Added
+
+- nym-sdk: added initial version of a Rust client sdk
+- nym-api: added `/circulating-supply` endpoint ([#2814])
+- nym-api: add endpoint listing detailed gateway info by @octol in https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/2833
+
+### Changed
+
+- streamline override_config functions -> there's a lot of duplicate if statements everywhere ([#2774])
+- clean-up nym-api startup arguments/flags to use clap 3 and its macro-derived arguments ([#2772])
+- renamed all references to validator_api to nym_api
+- renamed all references to nymd to nyxd ([#2696])
 - all-binaries: standarised argument names (note: old names should still be accepted) ([#2762]

 ### Fixed

 - nym-api: should now correctly use `rewarding.enabled` config flag ([#2753])
