Release Notes

v7 Breaking Changes Summary See the :ref:v7 Migration Guide<migrating_v6_to_v7>

web3.py v8.0.0-beta.3 (2026-04-30)

Breaking Changes

- The ``ens.exceptions.UnsupportedFunction`` exception has been removed. Resolver lookups that previously raised ``UnsupportedFunction`` (for example, calling ``get_text`` against a resolver that does not implement ``text``) now raise ``ResolverNotFound`` instead, since the Universal Resolver collapses both "no resolver found" and "resolver does not support function" into a single revert. Update any ``except UnsupportedFunction`` handlers to catch ``ResolverNotFound``. (`[#3822](https://github.com/ApeWorX/web3.py/issues/3822) <https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3822>`__)
Bugfixes

- Fixed ``ens.utils.is_none_or_zero_address`` not detecting bytes-form zero addresses (``b&quot;\x00&quot; * 20``) — the function compared against the hex string ``EMPTY_ADDR_HEX`` only, even though its signature accepts ``Address`` (which is ``bytes``). This caused ``ens.address(name, coin_type=N)`` to return the zero-address checksum string instead of ``None`` when the resolver recorded a zero address. (`[#3822](https://github.com/ApeWorX/web3.py/issues/3822) &lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3822&gt;`__)
- Fix a bug where request caching was not properly working for persistent connection providers (``WebSocketProvider`` and ``AsyncIPCProvider``). (`[#3825](https://github.com/ApeWorX/web3.py/issues/3825) &lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3825&gt;`__)
Features



ENS read operations now use the Universal Resolver (0xeEeEEEeE14D718C2B47D9923Deab1335E144EeEe) instead of querying the ENS Registry directly, aligning with ENSv2 readiness requirements. ([#3822](https://github.com/ApeWorX/web3.py/issues/3822) &lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3822&gt;__)

web3.py v8.0.0-beta.2 (2026-04-02)
Bugfixes

- Fix ``HTTPProvider`` to share an explicitly provided ``session`` across all threads, rather than only the creating thread. (`[#3800](https://github.com/ApeWorX/web3.py/issues/3800) &lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3800&gt;`__)
- Fix TypedDict field names to use camelCase (``validatorIndex``, ``yParity``) matching JSON-RPC conventions and formatter outputs. (`[#3801](https://github.com/ApeWorX/web3.py/issues/3801) &lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3801&gt;`__)
- Exclude type checking in Sphinx module and submodules (`[#3803](https://github.com/ApeWorX/web3.py/issues/3803) &lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3803&gt;`__)
Improved Documentation

</code></pre>

<ul>

<li>Added documentation for formatters explaining how they work, what the default formatters do, and how to customize them. (<code>#2994 &lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/2994&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;__)&lt;/li>

</ul>

<p>Features</p>

<pre><code>

Added configurations for CCIP-Read, defaulting to a more secure configuration based on the EIP recommendations. ([#3817](https://github.com/ApeWorX/web3.py/issues/3817) &amp;lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3817&amp;gt;__)
