Notes
Nimbus v24.4.0 is a low-urgency release with stability and performance improvements. It also removes built-in Prater/Goerli chain support; people are encouraged to migrate to Holesky or Sepolia.
Improvements
-
Large numbers of exits in a single block or epoch don't cause disproportionate slowdowns:
#6161 -
Support for using era file for the initial checkpoint block:
#6164 -
ncli_db supports importing blobs:
#6166
Fixes
-
produceBlockV3 correctly encodes execution_payload_blinded response:
#6204 -
Avoid a crash when handling blob backfill:
#6168 -
Avoid spurious errors verifying era files with empty epochs:
#6163 -
Address cases where REST blocks submitted have mismatched KZG commitments and blobs:
#6150 -
Fix a rare block verification failure depending on initialization spanning sync committees:
#6160
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
