This is a feature release for Vouch. Highlights include:

• allow Vouch to start with some consensus nodes unavailable
• allow Vouch to act as an MEV-boost client for non-Vouch validators
• reduce memory usage when obtaining Dirk accounts
• reduce memory usage when generating beacon committee subscriptions
• reduce time spent verifying account names in the common case
• add 'deadline' builder bid strategy
• increase proposal performance with new validator REST APIs
• add builder configurations to allow more control over selection of bids
• add "controller.fast-track" flag to control when attestation and sync committee processes start
• fix FromAsCasing warning in Docker image building
• change default timestamp in logs to millisecond-precision
• allow custom timestamp formatting in logs
• ensure that attestations complete on Vouch's first ever epoch

Plus the usual round of performance, stability and security updates. The full list of changes can be found in CHANGELOG.md.
