status-im/nimbus-eth2 v1.0.7

on GitHub

A release which provides additional protection against accidental slashings and further performance improvements across the board.

New additions:

• New slashing protection mechanism (doppelganger detection) prevents your validator from contradicting itself if you have accidentally left it running on another machine(see the --doppelganger-detection option).

• Optimized batching of BLS signature verification leading to faster sync speeds and reduced CPU load.

• Further improvements to attestation subnet walking resulting in a reduction in both bandwidth and CPU usage.

• A new --subscribe-all-subnets option allowing the node to maintain peers from all attestation subnets (most suitable for bootstrap nodes).

• Official docker images published at https://hub.docker.com/r/statusim/nimbus-eth2

• Official Windows binaries created from a reproducible build recipe.

• An option to enable the automatic updating of IP:Port in the ENR (off by default, specify --enr-auto-update:true to turn it on)

We've fixed:

• A bug that had the potential to completely halt all syncing activity.

• Inefficient processing of blocks with Eth1 deposits which occassionally led to increased latencies when delivering attestations.

• Outdated records in our bootstrap nodes list.

• An Eth1 syncing issue which manifested itself as a "Corrupted deposits history detected" error.

• Non-standard encoding of certain data types such as signatures and bit sequences within the results of JSON-RPC requests.

We've deprecated:

• make beacon_node will no longer compile the beacon node. You'll need to run make nimbus_beacon_node from now on

• On monday we'll phase out the old master branch. If you're still building Nimbus from master, please switch to stable.
