# Upgrade
## Upgrade v0.7.x > v1.0.x
### 1. Protected property and method naming
In order to unify coding style, leading underscores were removed from all private and protected properties
and methods.
Example before the change:
```php
GraphQL\Schema::$_queryType
```
Correct usage after the change:
```php
GraphQL\Schema::$queryType
```
So if you rely on any protected properties or methods of any GraphQL class, make sure to
delete leading underscores.
## Upgrade v0.6.x > v0.7.x
There are a few new breaking changes in v0.7.0 that were added to the graphql-js reference implementation
with the spec of April2016
### 1. Context for resolver
You can now pass a custom context to the `GraphQL::execute` function that is available in all resolvers as 3rd argument.
This can for example be used to pass the current user etc.
Make sure to update all calls to `GraphQL::execute`, `GraphQL::executeAndReturnResult`, `Executor::execute` and all
`'resolve'` callbacks in your app.
Before v0.7.0 `GraphQL::execute` signature looked this way:
```php
GraphQL::execute(
$schema,
$query,
$rootValue,
$variables,
$operationName
);
```
Starting from v0.7.0 the signature looks this way (note the new `$context` argument):
```php
GraphQL::execute(
$schema,
$query,
$rootValue,
$context,
$variables,
$operationName
);
```
Before v.0.7.0 resolve callbacks had following signature:
```php
/**
* @param mixed $object The parent resolved object
* @param array $args Input arguments
* @param ResolveInfo $info ResolveInfo object
* @return mixed
*/
function resolveMyField($object, array $args, ResolveInfo $info) {
//...
}
```
Starting from v0.7.0 the signature has changed to (note the new `$context` argument):
```php
/**
* @param mixed $object The parent resolved object
* @param array $args Input arguments
* @param mixed $context The context object hat was passed to GraphQL::execute
* @param ResolveInfo $info ResolveInfo object
* @return mixed
*/
function resolveMyField($object, array $args, $context, ResolveInfo $info){
//...
}
```
### 2. Schema constructor signature
The signature of the Schema constructor now accepts an associative config array instead of positional arguments:
Before v0.7.0:
```php
$schema = new Schema($queryType, $mutationType);
```
Starting from v0.7.0:
```php
$schema = new Schema([
'query' => $queryType,
'mutation' => $mutationType,
'types' => $arrayOfTypesWithInterfaces // See 3.
]);
```
### 3. Types can be directly passed to schema
There are edge cases when GraphQL cannot infer some types from your schema.
One example is when you define a field of interface type and object types implementing
this interface are not referenced anywhere else.
In such case object types might not be available when an interface is queried and query
validation will fail. In that case, you need to pass the types that implement the
interfaces directly to the schema, so that GraphQL knows of their existence during query validation.
For example:
```php
$schema = new Schema([
'query' => $queryType,
'mutation' => $mutationType,
'types' => $arrayOfTypesWithInterfaces
]);
```
Note that you don't need to pass all types here - only those types that GraphQL "doesn't see"
automatically. Before v7.0.0 the workaround for this was to create a dumb (non-used) field per
each "invisible" object type.
