2020-11-20 v1.0.0-rc1
=====================
We're happy to join the other client teams in announcing our `v1.0.0` release
candidate with support for Mainnet ✨
You can use this release/binary to set up your rig and monitoring for Eth2
genesis next Tuesday (*December 1 12:00:23 UTC*).
> **N.B.** There will be at least one more release, before December 1st.
> In particular, **we are planning a more polished release for Sunday** which
> will act as a drop-in replacement for this release candidate.
Don't worry if your peer count appears low at first -- It should increase as
more validators connect to Mainnet.
-----------------
**Highlights include:**
* The addition of a deposit contract "state snapshot" to network metadata.
This allows the client to skip syncing deposits made prior to the snapshot.
* A much faster startup time. We've removed the deposits table from the database,
which means the client no longer needs to process all deposits on start-up.
* The Eth1 monitor no longer starts if the beacon node has zero validators attached to it.
* The genesis detection code is now optional and disabled by default.
* An RPC call to get Chronos futures at runtime.
* Eth2 spec gossip parameters.
**We've fixed:**
* A database corruption issue affecting Pyrmont nodes.
* Unnecessary copy/memory alloc when loading DbSeq entries.
* A block production issue affecting clients that hadn't finished downloading the latest deposits.
