Notes

Nimbus v22.7.0 is a low urgency release packing everything necessary for the upcoming Prater/Goerli merge and introducing the Nimbus validator client (currently in BETA).

Other Improvements

• Support for fee recipient management through the Keymanager API and
  through the /eth/v1/validator/prepare_beacon_proposer Beacon API end-point:
  #3864
  #3901

• Support for the post-merge optimistic sync specification:
  #3793

• More comprehensive spec-compliance in our fork-choice implementation:
  #3849

• More spec-compliant handling of QUANTITY values within the Engine API responses:
  status-im/nim-web3#55
  #3844

• The Slot end log message now includes information regarding current and
  upcoming sync committee duties to help you identify the most appropriate
  time to restart the client during an upgrade:
  #3854

• Specifying a WEB3_URL environment variable is no longer mandatory
  when launching beacon nodes with the run-*-beacon-node.sh scripts:
  #3810

• The --finalized-checkpoint-state and the --finalized-checkpoint-block
  command-line parameters can no longer be used with certain invalid inputs:
  #3858

• Specifying --network=goerli is now equivalent to specifying --network=prater:
  #3874

Fixes

• A risk for invalid block proposals during high forking activity in the
  network due to inappropriate inclusion of attestations from other forks:
  #3893

• Interrupted tracking of deposits, triggered by a non-responsive web3 end-point:
  #3905

• Inappropriate error returned by the REST API when broadcasting of Gossip
  messages is not immediately possible:
  #3843

• Rare conditions under which P2P connections were closed inappropriately:
  #3795

• Potential inaccuracies in the next_action_wait metric:
  #3862

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
