Summary

This high-priority release contains important fixes for mainnet users.

There were two separate bugs introduced into fork choice in v2.4.0 and v2.5.0.

The first bug results in a steady memory footprint increase of 100MB per month. It has been less than two weeks since that release so it's unlikely that a significant memory increase can be observed, yet. It was fixed in #3408.

The second bug can result in an error during fork choice. This error will only be triggered in rare timing-based circumstances and will resolve itself within seconds. It was fixed in #3402.

Furthermore, an incompatibility between Lighthouse VCs running v2.5.0 and BNs running a version prior to v2.5.0 (or Nimbus BNs) was detected and fixed in #3410.

Breaking Changes

Update Priority

This table provides priorities for which classes of users should update particular components.

The Beacon Node may be updated without the Validator Client, however we recommend updating both components.
