Stereum 2.6.1
How to Update
Stereum Launcher
- Automatic Updates: Linux launchers will auto-update on startup as usual.
- Update on MacOS and Windows: The launcher tells you about the new version and opens this release page. Download it and install it over the old one, your settings are kept. The builds are not signed, see the 2.6.0 notes if MacOS or Windows block the app.
- Manual Installation: Available via GitHub and stereum.com.
Stereum Node
- Use the built-in Update Manager (available in the header bar) to apply updates safely and quickly. Obol clusters need this node update for their builder settings.
- Make sure to update your OS Packages as well from time to time 😉
⚠️ Glamsterdam on Hoodi postponed
The Glamsterdam fork on Hoodi, planned for 26 October, has been postponed with no new date yet (EF blog). Hoodi nodes need the client releases that remove the fork again, available in the Update Manager. Charon stays on v2.0.0-rc2. SSV stays on v2.5.0, restart it once all of its beacon nodes are updated.
Stereum no longer warns about the Hoodi fork, and the Builders settings stay hidden on Hoodi until a new date is set. Builder settings you already saved are kept.
What's Changed
🏛️ Glamsterdam
- FIX: The postponed Hoodi fork is no longer scheduled, so Hoodi nodes get no more fork and builder warnings by @NeoPlays in #2328
- FIX: Relays that answer ePBS can be selected, also without a listed ePBS address (Ultra Sound), and the takeover from MEV-Boost waits for the live check by @NeoPlays in #2325
- FIX: Stricter live check: relays get the builder API's timing headers, and a relay that rejects every request alike no longer counts as ePBS ready by @NeoPlays in #2326
- UPDATE: Nimbus 26.10.2 and newer gets every chosen relay instead of one by @NeoPlays in #2329
- UPDATE: Hoodi ePBS addresses for Ultra Sound, Ultra Sound Filtering and bloXroute Regulated by @NeoPlays in #2325
- UPDATE: A calmer Builders dialog: more room for the relay list, fewer notes, and the reason Save is disabled always in view by @NeoPlays in #2325 and #2326
🤝 Distributed validators
- ADD: Builder settings for Obol clusters: the builders go to Charon and its proposer config, and Stereum loads that file into the validator client's settings on every start (Lighthouse, Lodestar, Prysm, Teku, Nimbus) by @NeoPlays in #2325
- ADD: Charon and its validator clients on different servers: set the builders on Charon's server, copy its proposer config there and paste it on the validator client's server. Stereum finds the Charon behind a validator client by its beacon node URL by @NeoPlays in #2327
- ADD: Pick the relay Nimbus signs for in an Obol cluster, for Nimbus before 26.10.2 by @NeoPlays in #2326 and #2329
- FIX: Nimbus before 26.10.1 behind Charon no longer gets bid flags it doesn't know by @NeoPlays in #2327
Every operator of a cluster has to set the same builders, so agree on them first. With Charon on another server, copy its proposer config again whenever its builders change. Changes made in Charon's proposer config outside the dialog show up in it.
🖥️ Node
- ADD: Node version setting in Server Management > Settings: Stereum updates follow the main branch instead of the releases by @NeoPlays in #2325 and #2326
main is unreleased and untested. Use it only on nodes you test with, and switch back to Releases afterwards.
