0.6.0

What's Changed

Breaking Changes

• Removed Ethers.Transaction struct and replaced with separate EIP-1559 and Legacy transaction structs for improved type safety
• Deprecated Ethers.Transaction.from_map/1 - use Ethers.Transaction.from_rpc_map/1 instead for RPC response parsing
• Deprecated Ethers.Utils.maybe_add_gas_limit/2 - gas limits should now be set explicitly
• Changed input format requirements: All inputs to Ethers functions must use native types (e.g., integers) instead of hex strings encoded values
• Removed auto-gas estimation from send_transaction calls
• tx_type option in transaction overrides has been replaced with type, now requiring explicit struct modules (e.g. Ethers.Transaction.Eip1559, Ethers.Transaction.Legacy)
• Moved Ethers.Transaction.calculate_y_parity_or_v/1 to Ethers.Transaction.Signed module
• Deprecate Ethers.send/2 in favor of Ethers.send_transaction/2 for clarity and prevent collision with Kernel.send/2.

New features

• Added EIP-3668 CCIP-Read support via Ethers.CcipRead module for off-chain data resolution
• Extended NameService to handle off-chain and cross-chain name resolution using CCIP-Read protocol
• Introduced Ethers.Transaction.Protocol behaviour for improved transaction handling
• Added dedicated EIP-1559 and Legacy transaction struct types with validation
• New address utilities: Ethers.Utils.decode_address/1 and Ethers.Utils.encode_address/1
• Added Transaction.decode/1 to decode raw transactions

Enhancements

• Improved error handling and reporting in Ethers.deploy/2
• Enhanced NameService with ENSIP-10 wildcard resolution support
• Use checksum addresses when decoding transactions
• Add bang versions of Ethers top module functions which were missing
