v1.2.0-rc1 - 2024-11-20

This is a non-urgent, feature release. This release introduces improved charon exit command - now it is possible to easily exit all validators from a cluster with a single command. It also greatly improves the UX, number of tests and overall stability of the charon test command, moving it out of alpha state. Feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Compatibility Matrix

This release of Charon is backwards compatible with Charon v1.0, v1.1.

The below matrix details a combination of beacon node + validator clients and their corresponding versions the DV Labs team have tested with this Charon release. More validator and consensus client will be added to this list as they are supported in our automated testing framework.

Legend

• ✅: All duties succeed in testing
• 🟡: All duties succeed in testing, except non-penalised aggregation duties
• 🟠: Duties may fail for this combination
• 🔴: One or more duties fails consistently
