2021-12-03 v1.5.5
=================
Nimbus `v1.5.5` is a `medium-urgency` bugfix release which contains a number of significant optimisations; of particular note is a **6x speed-up in epoch processing** and **2x speed up in Altair block processing**.
In addition, `v1.5.5` adds support for the `web3signer` protocol (currently in BETA).
### We've fixed:
* The potential for missed block proposals when a third-party validator client (with at least one imported validator) is used with a Nimbus beacon node (with no imported validators)
* The web3 connection not being enabled when running third-party validator clients
* A rare condition in which the REST service becomes unavailable.
* Inappropriate error messages produced by the REST API: when a validator client is publishing the same attestations or sync committee messages through multiple beacon nodes.
### Improvements:
* 6x speed-up in epoch processing: https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/3089
* 2x speed up in Altair block processing: https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/3115
* A 12% (minimum) reduction in the outgoing GossipSub traffic: https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/3112
* Across the board performance improvements in the REST API: https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/3092
* The REST API can now report sync committee information for the next sync period: https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/3133
* Added support for the web3signer protocol (beta release):

2021-11-09 v1.5.4
=================
@ -24,7 +50,7 @@ Please upgrade at your earliest convenience.
## Other notable changes:
* The `--log-file` option is now deprecated and may be removed in a future release (if you wish to log to a file, we recommend redirecting the standard output).
Please note that the --log-file option was previously supported only when Nimbus was built from source. If your existing configuration used the --log-file option with a binary release, upgrading to v1.5.4 will enable the log file creation (though a deprecation warning will be printed on start-up).
