Required Updates

Most importantly, we need this release to be a major version (v7.0.0) due to the backward incompatibilities. This change will simplify implementation, and will also help mitigate backward incompatibilities in the future since applications will implement the export without concern for the file structure. Here's an example of how the exports will be used:

v6.3.x

import { Client, Env } from 'bitpay-sdk';
import { Invoice } from 'bitpay-sdk/dist/Model/Invoice/Invoice.js';
import { Buyer } from 'bitpay-sdk/dist/Model/Invoice/Buyer.js';
import { TokenContainer } from 'bitpay-sdk/dist/TokenContainer.js';

v7.0.x

import { Client, Env, TokenContainer } from 'bitpay-sdk';
import { Buyer, Invoice } from 'bitpay-sdk/models';
