Support for VersionedTransactions - attempting to modify existing code as we speak. Hopefully a PR isn't too far down the road.

In 1.18.0-staging branch, I've implemented:

• SOCKS proxy support
• WebSocket auto-reconnect and auto-resubscribe.
• WebSocket unsubscribe APIs

2.0 will have breaking changes, if we switch away from Exception-driven code.

Closing this issue in favor of separate issues/tickets for each feature.

Remaining work to be spun out:

GetProgramAccounts:

• Support pagination using dataSize = 0

APIs:

• Support ALTs (Address Lookup Tables)
• Replace Exception-based code with Optionals, remove try-catch from normal code flow. (This will be V2/major version upgrade.)
• Support for importing/signing/sending raw transactions (Base64/bytes)
