status-im/nimbus-eth2 v24.1.2

on GitHub

Notes

Nimbus v24.1.2 is a low-urgency point release bringing full support for the upcoming Cancun-Deneb hard-fork on the networks Sepolia, Chiado (Gnosis Chain testnet) and Holešky.

Improvements

• Nimbus v24.1.2 includes full support for the upcoming Deneb hard-fork in the networks Sepolia (30 Jan), Chiado (31 Jan) and Holešky (7 Feb):
  #5795
  #5725
  #5772
  #5796

• Nimbus no longer skips attestations during brief loss of connectivity to the execution client by attesting to the last known valid block:
  #5313

• The /eth/v1/events Beacon API endpoint now reports blob_sidecar events:
  #5728
  ethereum/beacon-APIs#350

• The Nimbus status bar and the "Slot start" log message now indicate the time of the next hard-fork in networks where it's already scheduled:
  #5761
  #5751
  #5731

Fixes

• The HTTP headers eth-consensus-block-value and eth-execution-payload-value supplied to the /eth/v3/validator/blocks/{slot} endpoint were not using decimal encoding:
  #5741

• Block headers within light client updates in Deneb-transitioned networks had incorrect zero values for the blob_gas_used field:
  #5763

• Incomplete responses to blobSidecarsByRange requests were inappropriately preventing the client from achieving the maximum possible syncing speed:
  #5766

• The Nimbus validator client was not implementing the strategy of using the withdrawal address of the validator as a fee recipient address when one is not explicitly specified. This was resulting in a failure to register any validators obtained from a --web3-signer-url with the configured --payload-builder-url when the --suggested-fee-recipient option is not provided:
  #5781
  #5730

• The /eth/v1/beacon/states/{state_id}/validators Beacon API endpoint was not compliant with the spec in the absence of the optional status field in the request:
  #5762
  #5758

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
