Maybe later today or tomorrow. Preparing a new major release. Found some issues, mostly optimizations and bug fixes. Probably going to be released next week. Will send the release notes once they have them + +* **Erigon**: New release (2.43) Replaced the light consensus client with a more experimental full consensus version. As it’s a full blown CL implementation, it should also be able to work for Gnosis in the future`--externalcl` is now default (and the flag was removed).Use `--internalcl` now to use the new experimental CL.
