Release v1.22.0

Good day Lodestar users! We've just released v1.22.0!

This is mostly a maintenance release and now includes our electra fork work compatible up to consensus specifications v1.5.0-alpha.4 for testing excluding light client specifications. Some minor performance optimizations are included such as deserializing a single state tree at startup rather than two separate trees, shortening startup time. This is a low priority update.

Release v1.21.0

We've released some exciting updates we'd love to share in our v1.21.0 release! We recommend users upgrade to take advantage of some noticeable improvements we've seen on our testing.

Firstly, it's important to note that our docker image now uses debian instead of alpine for the docker build due to noticeable performance differences. This may break some tooling downstream, so please be aware if you're using our docker images as a base for your setup.

We now follow the new standard to expose execution layer client info alongside consensus layer client info by default if the graffiti is not explicitly set and you haven't enabled the --private flag. As documented in ethereum/execution-apis#517, we hope this will provide better and more reliable information regarding client diversity on Ethereum.

One of the larger performance upgrades on this release is using napi-rs BLST bindings, which has yielded much better results for important functions such as our epoch state transition times.

Release v1.20.2

Hey Lodestar users!

We've released a v1.20.2 patch that fixes a cross-client compatibility issue when publishing blinded blocks using a Lodestar beacon node and a Lighthouse/Nimbus validator client with mev-boost enabled. We highly recommend the few users affected by this to upgrade.

For testing, such as those using Lodestar within Kurtosis for multi-client devnet tests, you now can use the --disableKeystoresThreadPool flag to disable worker pools for quicker decryption of less secure test keystores.
