status-im/nimbus-eth2 v1.0.4

on GitHub

A release that brings further stability improvements and minor performance
optimisations.

New additions:

• Nimbus can now be safely shut down with the SIGTERM signal on POSIX systems.

• Discovery IP limits greatly increase the cost of eclipse attacks.

• A make benchmarks target for obtaining a performance score for your system.

• An upgrade of the BLST library bringing minor performance improvements.

We've fixed:

• Gossipsub resource leaks that were reducing the quality of the gossipsub mesh and
  the attestation effectiveness of the client.

• Incomplete validation of forwarded attestations that may have been negatively affecting peer scores.

• An issue halting the activity of the Eth1 monitor.

• An incorrect zero validator balance displayed while the node is syncing.

• A regression preventing Nimbus from being used with custom testnet metadata files.
