This release includes numerous networking stability improvements and fixes, and new HTTP API features.
Critically, it fixes an issue with the included bootnode addresses that prevented nodes from finding peers when starting a beacon node from scratch on v0.3.2 (#1849).
It also adds a long-awaited command for submitting voluntary exits, documented here: https://lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io/voluntary-exit.html
Finally, if you run on a VPS and had trouble with the optimized v0.3.2 build, it might be worth trying again, as we've fixed a false positive in our detection of CPU features (#1846).
Due to the API changes, it is essential to restart both the validator client and beacon node after upgrading.
