Highlights

Upcoming Breaking Changes

• --Xworker-pool-size cli option will be removed in a future release. This option has been replaced with --vertx-worker-pool-size

Features Added

• Add Deneb configuration for Mainnet #971
• Improve Key Manager API import operation to use parallel processing instead of serial processing. Note, if you import a large number of keys while running as a signer, then this may degrade the signing performance for the duration of the import process. It is recommended to import large numbers of keys in batches. #968

Bugs fixed

• Ensure that Web3Signer stops the http server when a sigterm is received
