From this release users should use the HDNode directly (compared to accessing .keyPair
) when performing ECDSA operations such as sign
or verify
.
Ideally you shoud not have to directly access HDNode
internals for general usage, as it can often be confusing and error prone.
added
ECPair.prototype.getNetwork
HDNode.prototype.getNetwork
, wraps the underyling keyPair'sgetNetwork

methodHDNode.prototype.verify

method
In this release we have strived to simplify the API, using native types wherevever possible to encourage cross-compatibility with other open source community modules.
The ecdsa
module has been removed in lieu of using a new ECDSA module (for performance and safety reasons) during the 2.x.y
major release.
Several other cumbersome modules have been removed, with their new independent modules recommended for usage instead for greater modularity in your projects.

changed
-
address.toOutputScript
,ECPair.prototype.fromWIF
