22.7.3
The 22.7.3 release is predominantly focused on post-Merge fixes for Ethereum Mainnet and is strongly recommended for those users. It contains a variety of fixes and performance improvements that will alleviate issues for staking users around missed attestations and empty block proposals. This release also contains improvements for Besu's native crypto libraries to help with performance. It also fixes some RPC issues and provides a new flag --Xplugin-rocksdb-high-spec-enabled for higher spec'd hardware to increase database performance to speed up Besu in many operations (would recommend this for machines with 16GB of RAM or more). See the changelog for more.
