Release Notes for web3.js 1.2.7

Hi!

Features

Alongside some small bug fixes, this release contains two large improvements, authored by @nivida.

• The Websocket Provider module has been rewritten and now supports an auto-reconnect option which should dramatically improve the stability of connections to remote clients like Infura. You can enable auto-reconnect by configuring the provider as below.

  const Web3 = require('web3');
  const options = {
  
  // Enable auto reconnection
  
  reconnect: {
  
  auto: true,
  
  delay: 5000, // ms
  
  maxAttempts: 5,
  
  onTimeout: false
  
  }
  
  };
  const ws = new Web3.providers.WebsocketProvider('ws://localhost:8546', options) 

  More info about configuration can be found in the docs here. (PR #3190).

• The ENS module now allows connection to a custom registry. We've also added support for a large number of additional Registry and Resolver methods. The complete ENS API at Web3 is available in the docs here. (PR #3325).

Note about behavioral change in Geth 1.9.12

Recently in issue #3456 @Aniket-Engg drew attention to an important breaking change in Geth 1.9.12 which affects Web3 users. From their release notes:

eth_call will not default to your first account any more if you don't explicitly specify a sender. This was done to avoid the same input behaving differently in different environments.

This means that if you're:

• calling view methods that refer to a msg.sender
• calling estimateGas
• calling methods with .call

... without explicitly setting a from address in your request options, you may see errors or unexpected behavior.

In Web3.js, the from address can be specified on a per-call basis or by setting the defaultAccount property

// Call
myContract.methods.myMethod(123).call({from: '0xde0B295669a9FD93d5F28D9Ec85E40f4cb697BAe'});
// Contract

web3.eth.Contract.defaultAccount = '0xde0B295669a9FD93d5F28D9Ec85E40f4cb697BAe';
// Instance

contractInstance.defaultAccount = '0xde0B295669a9FD93d5F28D9Ec85E40f4cb697BAe';
// All

web3.eth.defaultAccount = '0xde0B295669a9FD93d5F28D9Ec85E40f4cb697BAe';

Added

• Add revert reason support to sendSignedTransaction (#3345)
• ENS module extended with the possibility to add a custom registry (#3301)
• Missing ENS Registry methods and Resolver.supportsInterface method added (#3325)
• Add optional gas type to AbiItem typescript definitions (for ABIs generated by Vyper) (#3437)
• Add görli testnet ENS registry to the known registries (#3252)
• Add auto-reconnect option for Websockets (#3092, #1085, #1391, #1558, #1852, #1646)

Changed

• Ensure '0x' prefix is existing for Accounts.sign and Accounts.privateKeyToAccount (#3041)
• Repository cleanup (#3443)
  • Removed old docs/_build folder
  • Removed old bower and meteor artifacts
  • Moved logo assets to own folder
  • Moved github assets to own folder
• Remove @types/node from (non-dev) dependency tree (#3965, #3227)

Fixed

• Add missing subscription.on('connected') TS type definition (#3319)
• Add missing bignumber.js dependency for TS types (#3386)
• Upgrade swarm-js to 0.1.40 to remove npm vulnerability warning (#3399)
• Upgrade devDeps to resolve security warnings (#3464)
  • dtslint 0.4.2 => 3.4.1
  • definitelytyped-header-parser 1.0.1 => 3.9.0

Release Notes for web3.js 1.2.8

Hi!

Features

Alongside some Typescript improvements and patches for the Websocket Provider reconnection logic introduced in 1.2.7, this release contains two larger changes:

• Ethers ABI Coder has received a full version increment, from 4.0.0-beta.3 to 5.0.0-beta.153. Since 2018, Web3 has relied on @ricmoo's great Ethers project to manage encoding and decoding data passed between Web3 and the EVM. This update should allow Web3 to absorb the latest work at Ethers going forward.

  The new ABI coder runs additional checks to validate inputs against the ABI types. Behavioral differences include:

Edge case	Web3 <= 1.2.7	Web3 1.2.8
Input exceeds an ABI type's max value (ex: "257" for uint8)	overflows	out of bounds error
Negative input for uint	underflows	out of bounds error
Invalid utf-8 character in string	silently sanitized	utf-8 error

• The ENS module now supports ENS's contenthash feature (EIP 1577), which allows you to associate an IPFS or Swarm hash with an ENS domain. There's a nice introduction to content hashes in this ENS medium post. Docs for the newly added methods can be found here.

Added

• Introduce review and release guidelines. (#3460)
• Add EIP-1193 compatible provider to AbstractProvider interface. (#3499, #3521)
• Add Typescript definitions for contract call. (#3454, #3521)
• Add support for ENS contenthash methods (#3392, #2782, #3511)

Changed

• Change CI provider from Travis to Github Actions. (#3468)
• Update web3-eth-abi ABICoder dependency. (#3490, #3522)
• Improve code clarity of HttpProvider keepAlive option setting. (#3463)
• Updated type definitions for Web3 HTTP Provider. (#3482)
• Improve code clarity of HttpProvider keepAlive value. (#3463)
• Fix indentation of web3-eth documentation (#3478)

Fixed

• Fix intermittent CI build issues with dtslint. (#3479)
• Fix WSS credentials Base64 encoding (for browser) (#3508)
• Fire provider "error" and/or "end" events when Websocket provider disconnects (#3485)
• Remove web3-eth revert error return types to squash TS compilation errors (#3496)
• Backfill event subscriptions when WS connection dropped across multiple blocks (#3491)
• Stop swallowing errors when WS connection has died after exhausting reconnection attempts (#3492)
