Notes
The Nimbus consensus client v26.8.0 is a medium-urgency release with additional beacon API support. Because it enables QUIC gossip support, it listens on a new UDP port, by default 9001 and configurable with the --quic-port option.

Urgency guidelines

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
