Breaking Changes

• The --p2p-discovery-site-local-addresses-enabled option is set to false by default. If you use the client's discovery inside the local network, update its launch command to toggle the option.

Additions and Improvements

• Added the ability for the CL client to negotiate engine capabilities with the connected EL client. This can be disabled by setting --exchange-capabilities-enabled=false if Shanghai is not supported on your EL client.
• Enabled peer scoring by default. Can be disabled explicitly using --Xp2p-gossip-scoring-enabled=false
• When failovers are configured, the validator client will perform a readiness check on startup to avoid retrieving validator statuses from a node which is not ready.
• Enabled deposit tree snapshot bundles for major networks and persists it after finalization to decrease EL pressure and speed up node startup. Use --deposit-snapshot-enabled=false to disable.
• Optimized validator exit processing during state transition, to speed up block import containing multiple validator exits.
• Locally submitted exits and bls changes will now periodically broadcast if they are not actioned, to address operations being lost in remote pools.

Bug Fixes

• Included All forks in fork schedule if they're defined in configuration.
• • Operation pool not removing some Voluntary Exit messages after block inclusion.
• Slow processing of blocks with multiple voluntary exit operations.
