* off-by-one error in the returned range of blocks
* larger request time-outs to deal with non-responsive servers
* fix an unhandled exception when we fail to deliver a response chunk
The number of user nodes is now specified with `USER_NODES`.
To make the instructions more stable, the "numeric id" of the user
nodes will be starting from 0 (so you can always use `run_node.sh 0`
to start a user node).
If you specify a node index above the total number of nodes, you'll
launch a node without any validators attached (this is useful for
testing the sync for example).
When the connect_to_testnet script is invoked it will first verify that
the genesis file of the testnet hasn't changed. If it has changed, any
previously created database associated with the testnet will be erased.
To facilitate this, the genesis file of each network is written to the
data folder of the beacon node. The beacon node will refuse to start if
it detects a discrepancy between the data folder and any state snapshot
specified on the command-line.
Since the testnet sharing spec requires us to use SSZ snapshots, the Json
support is now phased out. To help with the transition and to preserve the
functionality of the multinet scripts, the beacon node now supports a CLI
query command that can extract any data from the genesis state. This is
based on new developments in the SSZ navigators.
* Delete the node database on all containers when resetting a testnet
* Add a simple mechanism for switching the URL of the eth2-testnets repo
* More flexible code for validator assignments
* update get_seed(...) and get_beacon_proposer_index(...) to 0.9.0, implement compute_proposer_index(...), and render 3 more test fixtures working
* rm stray Crosslink reference which prevented static SSZ tests from building
* remove references to removed tests in attestations test fixture; add minimal-preset block sanity test, plus all but one of mainnet tests for block sanity to transition fixtures
