Additions and Improvements

• Support for the external builder API (e.g. mev-boost)
• Enables fork choice before block proposals by default on MainNet (previously on by default on testnets only)
• Optimisations in jvm-libp2p to reduce CPU usage
• Updated Sepolia bootnodes
• Enabled progressive balance tracking optimisation on MainNet
• Replaced separate metrics for each beacon node request with one metric beacon_node_requests_total. Some old metrics were kept for backwards compatibility, but will be removed in future versions.

Bug Fixes

• --ee-endpoint option was not used to retrieve deposits for networks where Bellatrix was not yet scheduled
• Fix latestValidHashwith invalid Execution Payload in response from execution engine didn't trigger appropriate ForkChoice changes
• Remove incorrect error about potentially finalizing an invalid execution payload when importing a block with an invalid payload

Upcoming Breaking Changes

• The validator_beacon_node_published_attestation_total, validator_beacon_node_published_aggregate_total,
  validator_beacon_node_send_sync_committee_messages_total, validator_beacon_node_send_sync_committee_contributions_total
  and validator_beacon_node_published_block_total metrics have been deprecated in favour of the new validator_beacon_node_requests_total metric.
  The old metrics will be removed in a future release. An update to the Teku Dashboard that uses the new metric is available.
