status-im/nimbus-eth2 v1.3.0 on GitHub

Release notes

This release offers safer and easier options to migrate to Nimbus from other clients. It also brings further performance optimizations.

We've added:

A new slashingdb sub-command with import and export options. This allows for safely migrating to Nimbus to/from another client (as per the EIP-3076 slashing protection interchange format). Please see the newly prepared migration guides for the details.
A new ncli_db validatorPerf command. This can be used to create a report for the attestation performance of validators over time (please note that ncli_db is only available when compiling from source).
Official binaries for macOS (AMD64 and ARM64)
Pruning of the slashing protection database and a transition to more optimal queries. This results in a significant reduction to both disk and CPU usage on nodes with a large number of attached validators.
A more consistent level of validation for the attestations received from both third-party sources and the REST and JSON-RPC APIs. This prevents invalid attestations from being broadcasted to the network.
Performance tuning of attestation subnet transition timings and state snapshotting intervals. This results in improved CPU and bandwidth usage.

We've fixed:

Problems in the GossipSub subnet walking logic which were causing unnecessary bandwidth and CPU costs.
