Following additional changes since RC1:

New API for walking a (sparse) Trie

Starting with this release there is a new API for walking and iterating a trie by using an async walk generator, which now enables to walk tries without altering the walk controller and also now enables to walk a sparse (not completely filled) trie, see PR #2904.

The new walk functionality can be used like the following:

import { Trie } from '@ethereumjs/trie'

const trie = await Trie.create()
const walk = trie.walkTrieIterable(trie.root())

for await (const { node, currentKey } of walk) {
  // ... do something i.e. console.log( { node, currentKey } )
}
