The 0.42.1 patch allow developers use @odatano/nightgate-tx 0.21.1 with Ledger 8 contract build to produce Ledger 9 transaction wey get single call to contract wey dem deploy before the upgrade. For those calls, the gateway server-side contract actions go direct developers go the transaction builder.

Existing mainnet contracts carry over when Midnight upgrade go Ledger 9 on November 6. The patch allow NIGHTGATE developers call those deployments using the transaction format wey mainnet dey accept now. Midnight reset Preview as new chain the same date, so contracts from the previous Preview chain need redeploy there.
