We recommend all users upgrade to v1.0.4, particularly users who have previously experienced database corruption, or who are running a slasher. Please see below for details of breaking changes, including removal of the websocket server.
Breaking Changes
- Removed the legacy websocket server in favour of the standardised server-sent-events API (#1920).
- Disabled Medalla and other legacy testnet support by default, improving compilation time (#1989)
Summary
- Improved handling of I/O errors during block processing. We hope that this spells the end of corrupt databases and resyncs! (#2068)
- Fix a bug in the slasher that caused it to miss some blocks (#2047).
- Networking improvements that strengthen peering, and may improve attestation effectiveness (#2075, #2041).
- New
--eth1-purge-cacheflag that can be used to clean out the Eth1 cache without a resync. This should only be used if your node is unable to recover from an error likeFailedToInsertDeposit(NonConsecutive {..}). The flag is supplied to the beacon node command like so:lighthouse bn --eth1-purge-cache(#2039).
