Scrutineering

v1.0.0-beta.1 is a pre-release of the Execution APIs.

The is a jam-packed release for execution-apis. First there were several clarifications to the engine methods in preparation for the mainnet merge. The eth namespace spec was converted to YAML for readability and many corrections were made. Some existing functionality was added to the spec scope and some was removed. The debug namespace was officially added. Tests for eth and debug now live in the /tests folder. @s1na has defined the GraphQL interface for eth-style methods. Finally, the documentation has been improved substantially. There is now a guide for making changes to the JSON-RPC. PTAL if you want to understand better how to contribute to this repository.

Now that there is some test coverage and confidence in correctness is building, we're moving out of alpha and into beta. Note that this designation is only due to the instability expected in the eth namespace. The engine namespace should be considered stable and ready for mainnet use.
