Prysm Beta!

(2020-10-26)

Notice: Beta.0 & beta.0-rc include several breaking changes if you are upgrading from an alpha release.
Please also review the beta.0-rc notes carefully.

Notable features since beta.0-rc include:

• Discovering peers before broadcasting attestation. (80% to 100% improvement on "lost" attestations!)
• Saving intermittent non-finalized states to improve data access in long periods of non-finality.
• Prysm web UI is working again. Run with --web.
• Several CPU and memory improvements.
• Terms of Service flags now working in validator account subcommands.
• Several fixes, including many security recommended fixes.

New breaking changes since beta.0-rc.

• Metrics removed: total_eligible_balances and total_voted_target_balances. Use beacon_prev_epoch_active_gwei and beacon_prev_epoch_target_gwei respectively.

Beta.0 release candidate

(2020-10-20)

Breaking changes

• Terms of use acceptance is required to start beacon-chain, validator, and slasher. Read the legal terms first here with --accept-terms-of-use if running in non-interactive environment.
• A testnet flag is now required. Run with --medalla to join the Medalla testnet.
• Validator accounts v1 has been deprecated and removed. Accounts v2 is now the only option for account management in validator. accounts-v2 has been renamed to accounts.
• EIP keystores and HD wallets have been updated to match the latest eth2.0-deposit-cli if you created a wallet after beta.0.rc. Previous wallets will remain the same.

To migrate into accounts-v2, please see https://docs.prylabs.network/docs/wallet/ethdo.

Account flags removed include:

• --disable-accounts-v2
• --keystore-path
• --keymanager
• --unencrypted-keys
• --password
• --source-dirs
• --target-dir
• --keymanageropts
• --passwords-dir

Several released features have their flags removed.

Removed feature flags:

• --disable-fork-choice-unsafe
• --disable-ssz-cache
• --skip-bls-verify
• --disable-initial-sync-verify-all-signatures
• --cache-filtered-block-tree
• --enable-local-protection
• --disable-strict-attestation-pubsub-verification
• --disable-update-head-attestation
• --disable-domain-data-cache
• --enable-state-gen-sig-verify
• --check-head-state
• --dont-prune-state-start-up
• --disable-reduce-attester-state-copy
• --disable-new-beacon-state-locks
• --disable-batch-block-verify
• --init-sync-verbose
• --disable-accounts-v2
• --disable-broadcast-slashings

See #7509 more details on feature flag removal.

Notable features/fixes:

• Critical initial sync fixes
• Discovery v5.1 update
• Proposer cache fix (fixes nodes falling out of sync)
• Pubsub topic filter
• journald logging format
• LMD FFG validation for attestations
• Ethdo dependencies have been updated
• --unsafe-sync has been fixed and renamed to --head-sync. This flag causes Prysm to sync from the latest head, rather than the latest finalized block. Try this flag for a faster restart when Medalla is experiencing a long period of non-finality.

Known issues:

• --web UI is broken. We decided to move forward with the beta.0.rc release with the UI in a partially unusable state to faciliate Medalla recovery fixes.
• --version reports Prysm/v1.0.0-alpha.29/fdef581e029c5af4314fe9a4b361023120d73999. Binaries were stamped with the wrong version tag, but released anyway in the interest of time. This is only a cosmetic issue and Prysm was built with the correct git commit.

The known issues will be fixed later this week and released in beta.0. Our beta.0 release has taken a bit longer than expected as we help debug finality issues with Medalla. We decided to release a release candidate as soon as possible rather than continue to delay Medalla recovery efforts while we fix known issues with the UI.

🚨Important🚨 You must specify a web3 flag to start Prysm at genesis. Example: --http-web3provider=http://localhost:8545 or --http-web3provider=https://goerli.prylabs.net. See our documentation page for eth1 for further help. https://docs.prylabs.network/docs/prysm-usage/setup-eth1

@prysmaticlabs will continue to operate a public goerli node for now, but please consider running your own node for a better experience.

Notable changes:
