web3.js 1.0.0-beta.55

Documentation

We have added some new examples to the Module API documentation.

Feel free to open a GitHub issue with your feedback about the new Module API.

web3-bzz

The web3-bzz module got removed because the used swarm-js dependency is no longer maintained and outdated. We recommend using erebos as alternative.

Web3 Module API Documentation

The Module API gives you the possibility to create your own custom Web3 Module with JSON-RPC methods, subscriptions, or contracts.

The Web3 standard modules are a good example of the API the core does provide.

Fixed Issues

• #2763

New Modules

Thanks for adding the Management API modules Minner, TxPool, Admin, and Debug @princesinha19. The newly added modules are standalone modules which means you have to install and import them separately.

Please read the documentation for further details.

web3.js 1.0.0-beta.52

This release contains several bug fixes and some other improvements.

web3.eth.getAccounts()

I've extended the functionality of the getAccounts method. It will now first check if there are unlocked local accounts and if there are existing local unlocked accounts it will then return them instead of sending the eth_accounts JSON-RPC request to the node.

Documentation

I've added additional information to the documentation regarding the contract module and updated the code examples. We have started to rewrite the documentation and to extend it with live examples here. Thanks to @OFRBG who created the base structure!

Breaking Change

Instead of transforming numbers to string values do we return now the BigNumber object we get from the AbiCoder. This breaking change does only have an impact on your contracts of your DApp.

Local Transaction Signing

I've fixed all issues regarding the signing of transactions. Web3.js is now using the ethereumjs-tx package for it. Thanks to the ethereumjs team!

WebKit and Gecko CORS errors

I've fixed the CORS error we had with WebKit and Gecko based browsers.

Issues

I've closed a lot of issues and improved the stability of the Web3.js project.

The following issues got closed with this release:

Accounts module improvements

I've refactored the eth-accounts module and do now provide the new possibility to customize the signing process of the Eth modules. You can now pass your own custom TransactionSigner class over the module options of Web3 and Eth. Closer details are explained in the documentation and the reason why the refactoring happened is described in this PR.

AbiCoder.decodeLog improvements

I've also improved the decodeLog method in the eth-abi module which will be used for the contract event logs. We have an open issue where we discuss the EventLog object interface the decodeLog method is returning. Feel free to join this and many other discussions here on GitHub.
