Happy December Lodestar users! We just published a recommended maintenance release v1.37.0 for all networks. This release includes a performance fix seen in other Fusaka testnets and also includes a validator client option to disable slot skipping for Obol users (enabled by default when using the --distributed flag).
Both versions, v1.36.0 and v1.37.0 both remain compatible for the Fusaka mainnet hard fork on December 3rd.
See you in Fusaka! 🦓
