Releases: ssvlabs/ssv
v1.3.3
This version introduces mainly optimizations to the consensus and message processing.
- By introducing OpenSSL for RSA signing we expect 10x faster signature verifications and lower CPU usage. As a side effect, memory usage should increase. Make sure to allocate at least as much RAM as is recommended in the docs (4 GB, as of this release).
NOTE: This optimization is for Linux OS only. - Enhancing consensus BLS verification by choosing an optimistic approach, verifying reconstructed messages and falling back to verify each one of the signatures if it fails.
Also fixed a bug that caused newly active validators to miss first epoch.
Expect fast consensus times and higher attestation rates.
IMPORTANT: Users running full nodes (exporters) should NOT update to this release.

v1.3.2
v1.3.1
This release is a hotfix for Prysm users, fixing a block proposal bug which occurs in certain environments where Prysm returns JSON responses (rather than SSZ).
Affected users are those who run Prysm with an HTTP proxy and/or load balancer in-between Prysm and SSV.
Fixes
- update to use patched fixed go-eth2-client (#1334)

v1.1.0
Changes
Resource optimisation changes
- 🔗 Drop sync requirements (#1109) - New duty slots are not dependent on previous ones, hence no syncing needed anymore.
- 🕙 New slot ticker (#1149) - More efficient way of distributing new slot events around the node.
- ♻️ Remove non committee validator message processing (#1183) - no need to process non committee messages since message validation now handles them.
General improvements
- 📈Metrics improvement (#1014, #1184)
- 📡 Holesky support (#1166) - Added config to support running on Holesky network.
- 📄 Log File Options (#1129) - Introduced configuration for debug log file, location, size, and backups.
- ⏳ Deterministic Round Timeout (#1120) - First consensus round timeout is now calculated by the slot start time + 6 seconds.
- 🌐 Domain type discovery (#1039) - An effort to make peers from other networks not connect to each other based on domain type exposed in discovery.
- 🕶️ Drop blinded block rejection (#1109) - Nodes now participate in blinded blocks consensus even if they are not supporting proposing blinded blocks.
- 🛡️ Slashing protection update (#1144) - Improvement when updating slashing protection data for reactivated validators
- 💬 Message validation (#1066) - Biggest change in this release, we now started validating all the messages in the P2P network before forwarding them to our peers. The set of rules can be seen in the PR or the knowledge base. A big step towards a completely permissionless network.
