Final release version from the breaking release round from Summer 2023 on the EthereumJS libraries, thanks to the whole team for this amazing accomplishment! ❤️ 🥳

See RC1 release notes for the main change description.

Following additional changes since RC1:

Event Emitter Refactor

We have reworked the EventEmitter integration for the library and switched away from the structure where all central classes (like e.g. RLPx) directly inherit from EventEmitter. Instead, we now have the EventEmitter in a dedicated events property associated with the respective class, see PR #2893. This aligns with how event emitters are implemented in other libraries (e.g. the VM or the client), leads to a cleaner API usage (autocomplete in an IDE now only shows the relevant methods) and allows for an easier customization of the library.

Event usage has to be adopted as follows:

rlpx.on('peer:added', (peer) => { // old
  // Do something
}

rlpx.events.on('peer:added', (peer) => { // new
  // Do something
}

Event emitter logic in the following components from the public API has been reworked:

  • DPT
  • RLPx
  • ETH
  • LES
  • SNAP (in development)
