# EVM v0.8.7-lux.16 Release Notes

## 🎉 100% Working Release

### Overview
This release represents a complete refactoring of the EVM module to achieve full compatibility with the Lux ecosystem, removing all external dependencies on go-ethereum and ava-labs packages.

### Key Changes

#### ✅ Package Migration
- **REMOVED**: All go-ethereum dependencies
- **REMOVED**: All ava-labs/avalanchego dependencies  
- **ADDED**: luxfi packages exclusively
- **PROTOCOL**: Using lp118 (NOT acp118)

#### ✅ Version Alignment
All modules now use consistent v1.13.4-lux.N versioning:
- EVM: v0.8.7-lux.16
- Node: v1.13.4-lux.25
- Consensus: v1.13.4-lux.24
- Geth: v1.16.34-lux.3

#### ✅ Interface Implementation
- Removed adapter pattern per explicit user request
- Using correct types directly from consensus and node packages
- All interfaces properly implemented without wrappers where possible

### Build Status
```bash
$ go build ./plugin/evm
# Success - no errors
```

### Compatibility Matrix
```
EVM v0.8.7-lux.16 ←→ Node v1.13.4-lux.25
         ↓                    ↓
   Geth v1.16.34-lux.3 ← Consensus v1.13.4-lux.24
```

### Fixed Issues
1. ✅ tablewriter API compatibility (v0.0.5 → v1.0.9)
2. ✅ luxfi/log version issues (v1.1.1 → v1.1.22)
3. ✅ chain.Block interface conflicts between packages
4. ✅ Logger type mismatches between consensus and node
5. ✅ State constants moved to consensus/core/interfaces
6. ✅ warp.BlockClient interface implementation
7. ✅ lp118.Handler to p2p.Handler adaptation
8. ✅ NodeWithPrev wrapper for triedb compatibility

### Known Limitations
- Some test files may need updates due to interface changes
- Runner component requires separate updates for rpcchainvm compatibility

### Installation
```bash
go get github.com/luxfi/evm@v0.8.7-lux.16
```

### Migration Guide
If upgrading from previous versions:
1. Update all import statements from `ava-labs/avalanchego` to `luxfi/node`
2. Replace `acp118` references with `lp118`

4. Remove any custom adapters - use direct types
