Using testnets and custom/private networks is now easier

This release is focused on making this library easier to use in chains other than mainnet.

Using standard testnets can be as easy as passing their names to the Transaction constructor. For example, new Transaction(rawTx, {chain: 'ropsten', hardfork: 'byzantium'}) is enough to use this library with Ropsten on Byzantium.

If you are using a custom network, you can take advantage of ethereumjs-common, which contains all the network parameters. In this version of ethereumjs-tx you can use its new Common.forCustomNetwork to create a Common instance based on a standard network with some parameters changed. You can see an example of how to do this [here (https://github.com/ethereumjs/ethereumjs-common/blob/9e624f86107cea904d8171524130d92c99bf9302/src/index.ts).

List of changes:

  • Upgraded ethereumjs-common to ^1.3.0
  • Added more documentation and examples on how to create transactions for public testnets and custom networks.
