DO NOT RUN THIS PRE-RELEASE ON MAINNET

Summary

This new beta release brings support for the Hoodi testnet, and cleaned up versions of the fixes made to keep Holesky running.

It is recommended for all testnets: Sepolia, Holesky, Hoodi and Chiado (Gnosis testnet).

This release will form the basis of the upcoming stable v7.0.0 release for Pectra on mainnet, so your feedback is greatly appreciated.
