v7.0.1 - 2025-12-08
This patch release contains 4 cherry-picked changes to address the mainnet attestation processing issue from 2025-12-04. Operators are encouraged to update to this release as soon as practical. As of this release, the feature flag --disable-last-epoch-targets has been deprecated and can be safely removed from your node configuration.
A post mortem doc with full details is expected to be published later this week.
