Summary
This release focuses on preparation for the eventual SSZ-DB transition by upgrading our encoding library as well as various other performance fixes. Most notably migrating from github.com/ferranbt/fastssz to github.com/karalabe/ssz for the majority of encoding and hashing. Nodes should see reduced memory allocations and subsequently much less CPU time spent garbage collecting.
