🔥 Hotfix 🔥

This hotfix release includes a block lookup efficiency fix, a fix to stop propagation of slashings for attesters who have already been slashed, a fix to the --disable-upnp flag, and a couple of metric fixes.

This is a medium priority release.

We recommend you upgrade if you are seeing this log:

Mar 13 10:26:50.229 WARN Peer sent invalid response to parent request., reason: ExtraBlocksReturned, peer_id: ..., service: sync

Summary

We've had a couple reports of users seeing this log:

Mar 13 10:26:50.229 WARN Peer sent invalid response to parent request., reason: ExtraBlocksReturned, peer_id: ..., service: sync

This is a result of Lighthouse making duplicate requests to peers for the same block. This has been fixed in (#5432). If you are seeing this log, we recommend you upgrade.

Other client teams have notified us that Lighthouse propagates slashing messages for validators that have already been slashed. These messgages are useless from the network's perspective so should be ignored (thanks @nisdas from Prysm). This has been resolved in (#5385).

The --disable-upnp was inneffective previously, but this has been fixed in (#5449).

Additionally this hotfix includes fixes to some metrics (#5404 and #5427).

Lighthouse BNs and VCs from v5.0.0 and v5.1.0/v5.1.1/v5.1.2 are intercompatible. However, we recommend that users update both the VC and BN to v5.1.2 if upgrading.
