Bugfixes

- Fix ``AutoProvider`` batching setup by adding a proxy batch request. (`[#3712](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3712) <https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3712>`__)
Internal Changes - for web3.py Contributors

web3.py v7.12.0 (2025-05-22)
Bugfixes

- Thread safety for batching and better consistency with ``PersistentConnectionProvider`` implementations:
- Make request batching threadsafe by using ``contextvars.ContextVar`` rather than a global flag for setting the batching state.
- Deterministically match responses with request ids for ``PersistentConnectionProvider`` batch requests. (`[#3705](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3705) &amp;lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3705&amp;gt;`__)

Deprecations



Deprecate ens_encode_name in favor of dns_encode_name. ([#3700](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3700) &lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3700&gt;__)

Features

- Introduce ``ens.utils.dns_encode_name`` as a rename of the current ``ens_encode_name``, for consistency across other language implementations and with the ENS docs. Returns ``HexBytes`` instead of ``bytes``. (`[#3700](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3700) &lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3700&gt;`__)
