Release Notes

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

v8.1.0: @​ethereumjs/util v8.1.0

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.

v8.0.6: @​ethereumjs/util v8.0.6
