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.
