Hey Lodestar users! We've just released v1.12.0 packed with a bunch of updates! We recommend all users to upgrade when possible and ensure to upgrade both your validator and beacon node clients together. More information below about notable changes:

produceBlockV2 builder/execution race moved from validator to beacon: You will have issues building blocks if you do not upgrade the Lodestar beacon and validator together to v1.12.0. You can continue using the --builder flag on your validator client, but it will default to --builder.selection maxprofit. If you do not want to use the builder on a validator that might still be hooked onto a builder enabled beacon, you may provide the --builder.selection executiononly or skip --builder. DVTs which are based off on only builder based block production can still continue using --builder.selection builderonly.

Ephemery Network: v1.12 supports using the --ephemery flag to configure Lodestar for the Ephemery network. To see additional details, please see the PR here: #6054

IDs for JWT claims: We've added --jwtId to allow for auth + id of Lodestar being sent to execution clients. This allows for more flexibility than the 1-1 connection between the consensus and execution clients by using multiplexers such as eleel. It is now compliant with the execution spec identified here: https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/blob/main/src/engine/authentication.md#jwt-claims

Swagger UI on root endpoint of REST API: If you would like to enable a REST swagger API, you can now add --rest.swaggerUI to enable and it will be served under http://localhost:9596/documentation

Validator monitor logs: It is now possible to log validator monitor events on the beacon node as info to get detailed information about validator performance. This can be enabled by setting the --validatorMonitorLogs flag, please see the PR for details and log examples: #6009

For Rocket Pool users: v1.12 now supports the metric used by Rocket Pool Dashboard v1.3.0 to display the time until the next attestation duty.

Restart aware doppelganger protection: There is now almost no downside to using doppelganger protection while still getting all security benefits. The only time doppelganger detection will run is if validator is imported for the first time or has not been active for more than one epoch due to a longer downtime / maintenance.

Support for q-value weighting in Accept headers: #6014

Some additional support for keymanager-API: Added validator voluntary exit endpoint (https://github.com/ethereum/keymanager-APIs/blob/master/apis/voluntary_exit.yaml) and allow graffiti configuration per validator (ethereum/keymanager-APIs#63)
