Additions and Improvements

• Added medalla network definition. As the genesis state is not yet known, an ETH1 endpoint must be specified when connecting to the medalla testnet
• Attestations are now created and published immediately after the block for the slot is imported, instead of waiting until 1/3rd of the way through the slot
• The Teku docker image has been upgraded to run Java 14
• /beacon/state REST API now supports a stateRoot parameter to request states by state root. This includes retrieving states for empty slots
• Reduced gas limit and used current gas price reported by the ETH1 node when sending deposit transactions with the validator subcommands
• Validator keys are now loaded in parallel to improve start up time
• Added a docker-compose configuration to quickly launch a 4-node local testnet
• Exposed additional metrics to report on RocksDB memory usage:
  • storage_hot_estimated_table_readers_memory
  • storage_finalized_estimated_table_readers_memory
  • storage_hot_current_size_all_mem_tables
  • storage_finalized_current_size_all_mem_tables
• Stricter req/resp message lengths are now enforced based on message content type

Bug Fixes

• Significant reductions in process resident memory. As this involved a configuration change for RocksDB the most significant reduction is achieved with a new database
• Fixed issue where Teku did not reconnect to peers after a network interruption
• Fixed issue where Teku may stop attempting to create new outbound peer connections
• Fixed incompatibility with deposits with public keys that could not be resolved to a G1 point
• Avoid disconnecting peers that do not return all requested blocks for a block by range request
• Reduced log level for a noisy message about duplicate peer connections
