Notes

Nimbus v22.3.0 is a low-urgency upgrade that marks the beginning of a more predictable release cadence for Nimbus. Going forward, we'll be publishing a new release each month, following a feature freeze period with intensified testing and monitoring of the introduced code changes on our dispersed fleet of mainnet validators.

Please note that the new versioning scheme is tied to the calendar. The number 22 indicates the year of the release (2022), while 3 is the month (March). The last digit is the patch number of the release and it will have a non-zero value only when we ship a hotfix during the month.

Improvements:

  • Nimbus can now run as a service on Windows: use the --run-as-service flag
    #3441

  • All command-line options can now be provided in a configuration file: use the --config-file flag
    #3442
    https://nimbus.guide/options.html

  • Lower CPU and bandwidth usage, thanks to better handling of already-seen attestation aggregates
    #3439

  • Reduced memory usage for nodes bootstrapped with trusted node sync
    #3429

We've fixed:

  • Reduced performance on Windows due to the use of a less efficient method for collecting stack traces
    #3466

  • Non-spec-compliant URLs in the Keymanager APIs for handling remote keystores
    4c01b77

  • Extremely slow slashing DB import for validators with long validation history: the import should be nearly instant now
    #3393

  • Validator index-out-of-bounds crash that was triggered upon certain requests to the /eth/v1/beacon/states/{state_id}/validators/{validator_id} API
    #3463

  • An off-by-one logic error preventing sync committee messages to be published in the first slot of each sync committee period
    542e645

Deprecated features:

  • The JSON-RPC service (--rpc flag) option is now deprecated. It's scheduled for removal in version v22.6 (i.e. June of this year). If you are currently relying on the JSON-RPC API, please consider switching to the official REST API.

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.
