@ethereumjs/tx v4.2.0
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.
