Nimbus v1.5.4 is a medium-urgency hotfix release. It addresses an important issue which, in rare cases, can lead to the loss of attestations and sync committee messages. This can, in turn, lead to a reduction in rewards.

Please upgrade at your earliest convenience.

N.B there has not been a 1.5.3 release. We have skipped straight to 1.5.4 (which contains a last minute fix to the build system).

We've fixed:

  • A rare issue during the construction of sync committee contributions: invalid BLS aggregate signatures were being produced under certain conditions; this had the potential to negatively affect the peer score of the node, and impact its ability to deliver gossip messages

  • A non-spec-compliant implementation of the /eth/v1/validator/duties/sync/{epoch} REST API

  • A crash in the /eth/v2/debug/beacon/states REST API call on systems with limited stack space

  • A regression in Libp2p (incoming clients had no shortAgent, breaking the metrics)

Improvements:

  • A nice little performance improvement for block verification and replay

  • Improved error messages in the REST API

  • The /eth/v1/config/spec REST API now returns more information regarding spec config parameters

  • More flexible logging options: the log format can now be specified at run-time; see https://nimbus.guide/logging.html for more

    • Please note that 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)

Urgency guidelines

low-urgency: update at your own convenience, sometime within our normal update cycle of two weeks

medium-urgency: may contain an important stability fix, it is better to update sooner rather than later

high-urgency: update as soon as you can, this is a critical update required for Nimbus to function correctly

Binaries

Scroll to the bottom of this release and click on the tar.gz which corresponds to your OS and architecture: unpack the archive, read the README and run the binary directly (or through one of our provided wrapper scripts).

We've designed the build process to be reproducible. In practice, this means that anyone can verify that these exact binaries were produced from the corresponding source code commits. For more about the philosophy and importance of this feature see reproducible-builds.org.

For instructions on how to reproduce the build, see the included "README.md" file. See pre-built binaries documentation for more.
