@metaplex-foundation/umi-uploader-irys seems not to work anymore since removal of Deprecated RPC Methods

[BenoistP]

Hello,

@metaplex-foundation/umi-uploader-irys depends on an old solana/web3.js version
which calls getRecentBlockhash that has been deprecated since a while and seems now completely discarded

https://github.com/metaplex-foundation/umi/blob/main/packages/umi-uploader-irys/package.json
"@solana/web3.js": "^1.72.0",

https://solana-labs.github.io/solana-web3.js/classes/Connection.html#getRecentBlockhash

File upload does not work anymore whatever the rpc used.

Probably the same issue should affect bundler
https://github.com/metaplex-foundation/umi/blob/main/packages/umi-uploader-bundlr/package.json

Thanks! The bundlr package is deprecated but it looks like the Irys uploader is dependent on an old version. I'll update it.

I have the same issue as well, currently you have to monkey patch the code for now, add this somewhere in your code
Reference to the same issue: #143

// Monkey patch the Connection prototype
Connection.prototype.getRecentBlockhash = async function (commitment) {
  try {
    const { blockhash, lastValidBlockHeight } = await this.getLatestBlockhash(
      commitment
    );
    const recentPrioritizationFees = await this.getRecentPrioritizationFees();
    const averageFee =
      recentPrioritizationFees.length > 0
        ? recentPrioritizationFees.reduce(
            (sum, fee) => sum + fee.prioritizationFee,
            0
          ) / recentPrioritizationFees.length
        : 5000;

    return {
      blockhash,
      feeCalculator: {
        lamportsPerSignature: averageFee,
      },
    };
  } catch (e) {
    throw new Error("failed to get recent blockhash: " + e);
  }
};

This should be patched in the newest beta release. A full release will go out this week.
