Problem

We exported BaseTransactionMessage, but as this stack shows in practice it's strictly better to use TransactionMessage instead.

Summary of Changes

  • Mark BaseTransactionMessage as deprecated. This will encourage Kit users (and us) to gradually migrate to TransactionMessage
  • In a future major version, we can stop exporting BaseTransactionMessage and just have it as implementation detail for the structure of TransactionMessage

I think the codebase already has // TODO(#XYZ) In a future... style comments where #XYZ is the GitHub issue number.

Also, I think it would be semver-esque to land this, do a release, then remove the word export with a major Changeset and do another release. They will have been done on the same day, but that still follows semver.

Thoughts?

Yep I agree, if we actually remove the export completely then that's a major. I don't think we need to rush to do that though, I'm happy to just mark as deprecated and remove it at some point. Note that this stack doesn't completely eliminate BaseTransactionMessage from Kit, only where it affected these types. So there will be some more refactoring needed to completely remove it.

I'll open an issue for that and put it in this comment though.
