2021-04-19 v1.2.0
|

=================
|
||||
|
||||
This release brings planned reforms to our database schema that provide substantial
|
||||
performance improvements and pave the way for an an improved doppelganger detection
|
||||
ready immediately to propose and attest to blocks (in a future release).
|
||||
If [`v1.1.0`](https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/releases/tag/v1.1.0)
|
||||
was the big I/O update, `v1.2.0` is all about the CPU - together, these
|
||||
updates help secure Nimbus against future network growth, and provide us
|
||||
with a higher security margin and substantial [profitability improvements]
|
||||
(https://twitter.com/ethnimbus/status/1384071918723092486).
|
||||
|
||||
Please be aware that we will remain committed to maintaining backwards compatibility between
|
||||
releases, but **this release does not support downgrading back to any previous 1.0.x release**.
|
||||
To highlight just one data point, this release offers **up to 40% performance
|
||||
improvements** over `v1.1.0` ( 🙏 batched attestation processing).
|
||||
This makes it the first release we can officially recommend for validating
|
||||
on a Raspberry Pi 4.
|
||||
|
||||
As a safety precaution, we advise you to **please backup your Nimbus database before upgrading**
|
||||
if possible.
|
||||
> **N.B.** this release contains a **critical stability fix** so please
|
||||
**make sure you upgrade!**
|
||||
|
||||
**New features:**
|
||||
|
||||
* More efficient state storage format ==> reduced I/O load and lower storage requirements.
|
||||
* Beta support for the official Beacon Node REST API:
|
||||
https://ethereum.github.io/eth2.0-APIs/. Enable it by launching
|
||||
the client with the `--rest:on` command-line flag
|
||||
|
||||
* More efficient in-memory cache for non-finalized states ==> significant reduction in memory
|
||||
usage.
|
||||
* Batched attestation verification and other reforms **->** massive
|
||||
reduction in overall CPU usage.
|
||||
|
||||
* More efficient slashing database schema ==> scales better to a larger number of validators.
|
||||
* Improved attestation aggregation logic **->** denser aggregations
|
||||
which in turn improve the overall health of the network and improve
|
||||
block production.
|
||||
|
||||
* The metrics support is now compiled by default thanks to a new and more secure HTTP back-end.
|
||||
* More efficient LibP2P connection handling code **->** reduction in
|
||||
overall memory usage.
|
||||
|
||||
* Command-line tools for generating testnet keystores and JSON deposit files suitable for use
|
||||
with the official network launchpads.
|
||||
**We've fixed:**
|
||||
|
||||
* `setGraffiti` JSON-RPC call for modifying the graffiti bytes of the client at run-time.
|
||||
* A critical stability issue in attestation processing.
|
||||
|
||||
* `scripts/run-*-node.sh` no longer prompts for a web3 provider URL
|
||||
when the `--web3-url` command-line option has already been specified.
