Release Notes

ethereumjs/ethereumjs-monorepo (@​ethereumjs/tx)

v4.2.0: @​ethereumjs/tx v4.2.0

Compare Source

This release is part of a final planned release round for the current major EthereumJS release versions, with next major versions planned to be released in July 2023.

It mainly removes all non-final EIP-4844, KZG and SSZ code from the libraries (mainly block, tx, util, evm, vm, blockchain) - see PR #​2721 - to allow for a clean slate for the current major versions to transition to maintenance mode. In particular the @chainsafe/ssz dependency is removed from the @ethereumjs/util library, which is a dependency of all other upstream EthereumJS libraries and removal therefore makes the whole stack lighter again.

If you are interested in continuously following EIP-4844 work have a look at and follow our upcoming breaking releases where major changes will be integrated with 4844 nearing a final state.

• Fix EIP-155 transaction encoding on chain ID 0 for legacy txs, PR #​2671

v4.1.1: - Stable Istanbul Support

Compare Source

First stable Istanbul release passing all StateTests and BlockchainTests from the official Ethereum test suite v7.0.0-beta.1. Test suite conformance have been reached along work on PR #​607 (thanks @​s1na!) and there were several fixes along the way, so it is strongly recommended that
you upgrade from the first beta Istanbul release v4.1.0.
