@@ -16,6 +16,8 @@ The following emojis are used to highlight certain changes:
 
 ### Added
 
+- `blockservice` now has `ContextWithSession` and `EmbedSessionInContext` functions, which allows to embed a session in a context. Future calls to `BlockGetter.GetBlock`, `BlockGetter.GetBlocks` and `NewSession` will use the session in the context.

 ### Changed
 
 ### Removed
