* rm now-superceded shuffling cache (shuffling is only called from get_crosslinks), which was badly architected due to trying to exist in state; rm one more vestige of previous light-client regime (one more to go, from datatypes)
* fix wrong shuffling list size (active validator size, not validator size) to make consistent with 0.5.1 (will be inconsistent with testnet0); fix typo and change defaults in state_sim
* doAssert a couple of constant relationships necessary to avoid underflow; rm non-spec, unused helper function get_new_recent_block_roots
* refactor separate crosslink_committee_cache and winning_root_participants_cache(s) into StateData object; remove last vestige of previous shuffling cache
* separate out caching parts of StateData to new StateCache object
* ssz: avoid memory allocations
* a bit fishy with the 32-item stack.. this should be a smallvector
* digest: avoid another burnmem
* avoid a few allocations by using iterator
* initial commit of official state tests
* sanity check fixture
* Parsing official state test is mostly working
(Except BLS signature)
* Successfully load state test
* Use json-serialization instead of json and display deserialized and from scratch beacon state hashes
* Add official state test as a smoke parsing test
- updated README.md
- beacon_chain.nimble: accept compilation flags as params
- nim.cfg: enable `--opt:speed` at the top level
- simulation scripts: allow overriding GIT_ROOT and do some refactoring
* avoid crash on invalid block production (fixes#209)
* fetch blocks every second, roughly
* fix start.sh param order
* run beacon node sim at slower pace
this is the beginning of tracking block-slots more precisely, so we can
the justification epoch slot bug.
* avoid asyncDiscard (swallows assertions)
* fix attestation delay
* fix several state root cache bugs
* introduce workaround for genesis epoch spec issue
