[2.0.0] - 2018-06-25

This release introduces both support for different chains (mainnet, ropsten, ...) and hardforks up to the latest applied HF (byzantium). Parameters and genesis values are provided by the new ethereumjs-common library which also defines the set of supported chains and forks.

Changes in detail:

• New initialization parameters opts.chain (default: mainnet) and opts.hardfork (default: null, block number-based behaviour), PR #44
• Alternatively a Common class object can be provided directly with the opts.common parameter, see API docs
• Correct block validation for all know hardforks, PR #47, if no hardfork is set validation logic is determined by block number in combination with the chain set
• Genesis block initialization depending on the chain set (see ethereumjs-common for supported chains)
• Extensive test additions to cover the newly introduced capabilities and changes
• Fix default value for nonce (empty buffer -> <Buffer 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00>), PR #42
