Breaking Changes

• For Bellatrix fork and later, Teku now sends block_header instead of block to external signers when signing blocks (BLOCK_V2).

Additions and Improvements

• Improved performance when regenerating non-finalized states that had to be dropped from memory.
• Performance optimizations for Gnosis beacon chain.
• Improved performance when processing epoch transitions.
• Added is_optimistic field to /eth/v1/node/syncing response.
• Using execution engine endpoint as Eth1 endpoint when latter is not provided.

Bug Fixes

• Added stricter limits on attestation pool size.
• Fixed issue with loading the optimised BLST library on Windows.
• Reduced log level for notifications that the eth1 chain head could not be retrieved because no endpoints were available.
• Fixed issue where logging options were not recognised if specified after the validator-client subcommand.
• Avoid disconnecting event stream connections subscribed to attestation events for briefly exceeding the maximum pending event queue size. A very large number of attestations are received all at once on MainNet making it almost impossible for a consumer to stay below the queue size limit at all times.

Upcoming Breaking Changes

• The /teku/v1/beacon/states/:state_id endpoint has been deprecated in favor of the standard API /eth/v1/debug/beacon/states/:state_id which now returns the state as SSZ when the Accept: application/octet-stream header is specified on the request.
• The /eth/v1/debug/beacon/states/:state_id endpoint has been deprecated in favor of the v2 Altair endpoint /eth/v2/debug/beacon/states/:state_id
• The /eth/v1/beacon/blocks/:block_id endpoint has been deprecated in favor of the v2 Altair endpoint /eth/v2/beacon/blocks/:block_id
• The /eth/v1/validator/blocks/:slot endpoint has been deprecated in favor of the v2 Altair endpoint /eth/v2/validator/blocks/:slot
• The /eth/v1/debug/beacon/heads endpoint has been deprecated in favor of the v2 Bellatrix endpoint /eth/v2/debug/beacon/heads
• The commandline option --validators-performance-tracking-enabled has been deprecated in favour of --validators-performance-tracking-mode
