Notes

Nimbus v22.6.1 is a low-urgency release which comes pre-configured with the correct TTD value for the Sepolia network and improves the behavior of Nimbus in merge testnets.

Improvement

• Allow testing the Engine API JWT credentials even before the merge.
  #3786

Fixes

• Lack of detection of the connected execution client's network when attached to the Engine API port.
  #3804

• Logic error leading to a premature start of the exchange transition configuration Engine API requests.
  #3809

• Inappropriate inclusion of the execution_optimistic field in REST responses before the merge.
  #3807

Nimbus v22.6.0 (low-urgency) brings support for the merge testnets Ropsten and Sepolia (please stay tuned for TTD announcements for the latter) and a lot of polish where we've taken the time to address a long list of UX improvements and bug fixes suggested or reported by our users. We are deeply grateful to everybody who contributed valuable feedback for this release.

Improvements (v22.6.0)

• TTD detection and Panda art for the merge!
  #3670
  #3745

• The execution layer priority fees recipient address can be configured individually for each validator.
  #3652

• Through better defaults, the parameters --rest-url, --trusted-node-url can be omitted if the targeted node is running on the same machine.
  #3689

• Improved spec-compliance with the Beacon API and the Engine API as defined after the merge.
  #3679
  #3780

• The custom error code 1031 will signal a detected doppelganger on the network. This can be handled in the Nimbus's service supervisor to prevent an automatic restart.
  #3728

• The Nimbus status bar can be configured to display the current version number.
  #3747

• Specifying the --terminal-total-difficulty-override parameter is no longer necessary for the Ropsten network.
  #3754

• Built-in support for the Sepolia network which will launch on June 20th and reach TTD shortly after.
  #3762

• More robust syncing with the connected execution layer node in Bellatrix-enabled networks.
  #3759

• The web3 test command is now compatible with nodes that have been configured to serve only the Engine API.

Fixes (v22.6.0)

• A rare crash triggered when using a HTTP web3 URL.
  #3669

• ERA checkpoint sync failing with "Backfill block must have a summary".
  #3675

• Incorrect sync progress indicator shortly after a trusted node sync
  #3736

• Incorrect values returned by the /eth/v1/node/syncing API under rare circumstances.
  #3720

• Misleading log message when an attestation was not delivered to any peer.
  #3737

• Incorrect handling of case-sensitive web3 URLs.
  #3757

• Incorrect encoding of the current_epoch_participation and previous_epoch_participation fields in the REST requests returning BeaconState results.
  #3776

• Incorrect URL for the Keymanager delete keystores request.
  #3727

• Non-standard encoding required by the Keymanager API for the import keystores request.
  #3768

• A significant source of omitted events in the REST events API.
  #3664

• Incorrect parsing of the weak-subjectivity-checkpoint parameter.
  #3765

• Lack of support for trailing commas in lists and inline tables in the TOML config files.

Urgency guidelines

low-urgency: update at your own convenience, sometime within our normal update cycle of two weeks

medium-urgency: may contain an important stability fix, it is better to update sooner rather than later

high-urgency: update as soon as you can, this is a critical update required for Nimbus to function correctly
