- Adding an experimental keymanager endpoint (GET /eth/v0/validator/{pubkey}/proposer_config) that allows you to retrieve a proposer configuration which you may use to configure different settings such as feeRecipient and builder settings on different validator keys. See our documentation for more information: https://chainsafe.github.io/lodestar/run/validator-management/proposer-config

For the full changelog, please see: https://github.com/ChainSafe/lodestar/releases/tag/v1.24.0 This recommended release includes some anticipated features like: - Using getBlobsV1 to import blobs locally from the execution layer - Supporting the latest nodeJS LTS version 22 (previously pinned at 22.4) - Adding the debug_getHistoricalSummaries endpoint to allow accessing HistoricalSummaries on the BeaconState post-Capella - A very useful one-line terminal command to install the Lodestar executable into your amd64 and arm64 box.

We've just released v1.22.0! This is mostly a maintenance release and now includes our electra fork work compatible up to consensus specifications v1.5.0-alpha.4 for testing excluding light client specifications. Some minor performance optimizations are included such as deserializing a single state tree at startup rather than two separate trees, shortening startup time. This is a **low priority** update. For the full changelog, please see: https://github.com/ChainSafe/lodestar/releases/tag/v1.22.0

Not sure how much more proof one needs to start running Lodestar on their setups. Small solo setups or large node operators alike. @chainsafe node ops runs 100% Lodestar to demonstrate its capabilities. Now part of the Top 25% of operators for @lidofinance in the last 30d!

This release allows the disabling of flood publishing on gossipsub, which may lead to unnecessary latency in message propagation. You can enable this by updating to v1.18.1 and setting the flag --network.disableFloodPublish to only publish to mesh peers. This should resolve it!

We've pushed a hotfix release for any users that have been experiencing orphaned or missed block proposals from local block building, even though publishing is well within the 4s deadline. v1.18.1 is *recommended* for those experiencing these problems! https://github.com/ChainSafe/lodestar/releases/tag/v1.18.1

This new default setting means that the builder profit difference over a locally produced block must be greater than ~10% to be selected. The previous default setting was `maxprofit`, which chooses the most profitable. This can be changed in your local configuration.

`builder.selection` now has a `default` setting that gives slightly preferential treatment to locally produced blocks via `builderBoostFactor=90` . This configurable setting is set to 90 instead of 100 by default.

Target peers by default has been increased from 50 to 100 peers. Many users have already set this for better validator effectiveness and now we have it set by default to become a better peer on the network.

This release addresses many compatibility issues discovered from cross-client testing with Lodestar and other consensus clients. This also includes fixes for compatibility with some external DVT platforms and external APIs such as the keymanager.

Minor features have been implemented such as emitting slashing events and completing our validator --builder.selection options with executionalways (alias of --builder.boostFactor=0). This setting will always return a local execution block unless it's not produced or timely.
