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 } )
}

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)

Other Changes

• Address security vulnerabilities, PR #2912

@ethereumjs/common v4.0.0

JSON -> JS for Hardfork, EIP and Chain Configs

We have switched hardfork, EIP and chain configurations in the Common library from JSON to JavaScript (TypeScript). This leads to better typing (and therefore less configuration errors) for (custom) configuration files and avoids JSON type assertion related problems for ESM builds, see PR #2911.

Following changes:

• src/chains/[CHAIN_FILE].json -> src/chains.ts
• src/eips/[EIP_FILE].json -> src/eips.ts
• src/hardforks/[HARDFORK_FILE].json -> src/hardforks.ts

Other Changes

• 4844: Rename dataGas to blobGas (see EIP-4844 PR #7354), PR #2919

@ethereumjs/client v0.8.1

Note: this release is not yet fully ready for 4844-devnet-8 (launch in August 2023).

EIP-4844 / devnet-8 Updates

• 4844: Rename dataGas to blobGas (see EIP-4844 PR #7354), PR #2919
• Engine api changes for devnet 8, PR #2896
