Release - 1.0.0-beta.55

[nivida]

web3-bzz

Because the used dependency swarm-js is no longer maintained and outdated did we remove the web3-bzz module. We recommend using erebos as alternative.

Fixed Issues

• Security vulnerability: extend 3.0.1 module in web3-bzz #2792
• web3.utils.randomHex does not produce consistent length strings #1490
• isBN breaks in production #1777
• block timestamp - "Error: Number can only safely store up to 53 bits" #1905
• Correctly list dependencies in subpackages #2667
• Async methods never finish on non-200 HTTP responses #2781
• Consider bumping the version of dependency scrypt.js from 0.2.0 to 0.3.0 #2385
