v0.31.0 Pre-release
Pre-release

This release significantly improves latency for registerValidator and getHeader requests by introducing a better registration cache, and avoiding most of the CPU-intensive serialization overhead. For more details, see also #729

This release also allows pprof to run on separate server + port, allowing for longer timeouts. For this, we changed the PPROF environment variable to `PPROF_ADDR, which you may need to update if you've used pprof before:

  • Before: --pprof / PPROF
  • New: --pprof-listen-addr / PPROF_ADDR

What's changed since v0.30.0

  • Enabled pprof to run on separate server + port, to allow for longer timeouts. For this, we changed the PPROF environment variable to `PPROF_ADDR. PR @ilyaluk in #727
  • Improved registerValidator latency by fixing registration cache by @metachris and @ilyaluk #729
  • Try fixing registerValidator cache misses by @metachris in #720
  • Add a local registerValidator cache to avoid going to redis by @metachris in #721
  • Log JSON-RPC error data from validation node by @ilyaluk in #723
  • Remove unnecessary fields from GetStateValidatorsResponse by @ilyaluk in #728
  • Switch to goccy/go-json by @ilyaluk in #730

v0.30.2 Pre-release
Pre-release

What's Changed

This release includes the following minor updates:

  1. Changed PPROF environment variable to PPROF_ADDR, allowing pprof to be exposed on a separate server, which allows for longer request timeouts to collect longer profiles. PR: Improve pprof in api service by @ilyaluk in #727
  2. Add a local registerValidator cache to avoid going to redis by @metachris in #721
  3. Log JSON-RPC error data from validation node by @ilyaluk in #723

v0.30.1 Pre-release
Pre-release

v0.30.1 is a recommended, but not critical upgrade to the Pectra-ready v0.30.0 release.

This patch fixes caching registerValidator requests for SSZ-encoded payloads (re-validating BLS signatures is heavy on CPU and should be avoided).

Changes

  • Fixing registerValidator cache misses in #720

Impact

  • Cached registrations reduce the number of BLS signature validations
  • Increased Redis cache-hit rate
  • Increased Redis storage: "Bytes Used For Cache" doubles (because now storing the full registration in cache, instead of only the timestamp).
  • Improved registerValidator logging

Background

The timestamp in validator registrations are updated frequently, which made the API revalidate every incoming validator registration. The implemented solution stores the full registration in Redis (instead of only the timestamp), and discards any registrations that wouldn't change any fields anyway.

Upgrade Notes

Recommended upgrade from v0.29 as this fixes a misconfiguration in the publish block flag in which the flag publishes the wrong way around.
In the v0.29 release the USE_V2_PUBLISH_BLOCK_ENDPOINT flag was removed in favor of the USE_V1_PUBLISH_BLOCK_ENDPOINT flag which enabled the v1 publish block endpoint. However that was not configured correctly in the last release which resulted in the v2 publish block endpoint being enabled if the USE_V1_PUBLISH_BLOCK_ENDPOINT flag was set and vice versa.

Also adds a blob column to the relay website to show the number of blobs contained in the block

Special Mentions

Thank you and shout out to @alextes for reporting #581 for the flag misconfiguration and raising a fix.

Upgrade Notes

  • This release adds support for the upcoming Deneb fork and is fully backwards compatible with Capella
  • Ensure the beacon node is upgraded and restart the relay before the fork so the relay gets the latest fork schedule. The relay will not error if the Deneb fork schedule is not found.

What's Changed

  • Deneb Support by @avalonche in #564
  • Various type clean ups and completely migrated to attestant types.

Uses the v2 publish block endpoint on the CL by default

  • the USE_V2_PUBLISH_BLOCK_ENDPOINT flag is removed.
  • to switch to the v1 endpoint set the USE_V1_PUBLISH_BLOCK_ENDPOINT environment variable.

Dependency Updates

  • Bump github.com/gorilla/mux from 1.8.0 to 1.8.1 by @dependabot in #550
