+## [7.0.3] - 2020-07-07
+
+This release replaces the `keccak` and `secp256k1` dependencies
+(PR [#257](https://github.com/ethereumjs/ethereumjs-util/pull/257))
+and instead uses the
+[ethereum-cryptography](https://github.com/ethereum/js-ethereum-cryptography)
+package that uses native JS implementations for cryptographic primitives
+and makes use of modern and forward-compatible N-API implementations in Node
+wherever possible.
+
+This is part of a larger initiative led by Nomic Labs to improve the developer
+experience within the Ethereum developer ecosystem,
+see https://github.com/ethereum/js-organization/issues/18 for context.
