21.7.0

21.7.0

Breaking changes

• --network flag for eth2 subcommand is now mandatory and defaults to mainnet. Use appropriate network when running web3signer for a testnet. It should match Teku network option.
• Database migration scripts (V8__.sql and V9__.sql) are required to be executed for this release if slashing protection is used.

Features Added

• Introduced --slashing-protection-db-pool-configuration-file to specify Hikari connection pool configuration file.
• Upgraded gradle and various plugin versions. Switched to new dependency license reporting plugin. Project can now be compiled against JDK 16.
• Introduced --network cli option for Eth2 mode. Defaults to mainnet. Should match the option used by Teku at runtime.
• Upgraded Teku libraries.
• Eth2 slashing protection now has an additional safeguard that prevents multiple signed blocks or attestations being inserted using database constraints.
• Use adoptopenjdk/openjdk11:x86_64-ubuntu-jre-11.0.11_9 as docker base image.

Bugs fixed

• Fixed transaction deadlock at start up during same validators registration (>10000) from multiple web3signer instances.
