## Issue Addressed
#4738
## Proposed Changes
See the above issue for details. Went with option #2 to use the async reqwest client in `Eth2NetworkConfig` and propagate the async-ness.
## Proposed Changes
New release to replace the cancelled v4.4.0 release.
This release includes the bugfix #4687 which avoids a deadlock that was present in v4.4.0.
## Additional Info
Awaiting testing over the weekend this will be merged Monday September 4th.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Rather than spawning new tasks on the tokio executor to process each HTTP API request, send the tasks to the `BeaconProcessor`. This achieves:
1. Places a bound on how many concurrent requests are being served (i.e., how many we are actually trying to compute at one time).
1. Places a bound on how many requests can be awaiting a response at one time (i.e., starts dropping requests when we have too many queued).
1. Allows the BN prioritise HTTP requests with respect to messages coming from the P2P network (i.e., proiritise importing gossip blocks rather than serving API requests).
Presently there are two levels of priorities:
- `Priority::P0`
- The beacon processor will prioritise these above everything other than importing new blocks.
- Roughly all validator-sensitive endpoints.
- `Priority::P1`
- The beacon processor will prioritise practically all other P2P messages over these, except for historical backfill things.
- Everything that's not `Priority::P0`
The `--http-enable-beacon-processor false` flag can be supplied to revert back to the old behaviour of spawning new `tokio` tasks for each request:
```
--http-enable-beacon-processor <BOOLEAN>
The beacon processor is a scheduler which provides quality-of-service and DoS protection. When set to
"true", HTTP API requests will queued and scheduled alongside other tasks. When set to "false", HTTP API
responses will be executed immediately. [default: true]
```
## New CLI Flags
I added some other new CLI flags:
```
--beacon-processor-aggregate-batch-size <INTEGER>
Specifies the number of gossip aggregate attestations in a signature verification batch. Higher values may
reduce CPU usage in a healthy network while lower values may increase CPU usage in an unhealthy or hostile
network. [default: 64]
--beacon-processor-attestation-batch-size <INTEGER>
Specifies the number of gossip attestations in a signature verification batch. Higher values may reduce CPU
usage in a healthy network whilst lower values may increase CPU usage in an unhealthy or hostile network.
[default: 64]
--beacon-processor-max-workers <INTEGER>
Specifies the maximum concurrent tasks for the task scheduler. Increasing this value may increase resource
consumption. Reducing the value may result in decreased resource usage and diminished performance. The
default value is the number of logical CPU cores on the host.
--beacon-processor-reprocess-queue-len <INTEGER>
Specifies the length of the queue for messages requiring delayed processing. Higher values may prevent
messages from being dropped while lower values may help protect the node from becoming overwhelmed.
[default: 12288]
```
I needed to add the max-workers flag since the "simulator" flavor tests started failing with HTTP timeouts on the test assertions. I believe they were failing because the Github runners only have 2 cores and there just weren't enough workers available to process our requests in time. I added the other flags since they seem fun to fiddle with.
## Additional Info
I bumped the timeouts on the "simulator" flavor test from 4s to 8s. The prioritisation of consensus messages seems to be causing slower responses, I guess this is what we signed up for 🤷
The `validator/register` validator has some special handling because the relays have a bad habit of timing out on these calls. It seems like a waste of a `BeaconProcessor` worker to just wait for the builder API HTTP response, so we spawn a new `tokio` task to wait for a builder response.
I've added an optimisation for the `GET beacon/states/{state_id}/validators/{validator_id}` endpoint in [efbabe3](efbabe3252). That's the endpoint the VC uses to resolve pubkeys to validator indices, and it's the endpoint that was causing us grief. Perhaps I should move that into a new PR, not sure.
## Issue Addressed
Addresses #2557
## Proposed Changes
Adds the `lighthouse validator-manager` command, which provides:
- `lighthouse validator-manager create`
- Creates a `validators.json` file and a `deposits.json` (same format as https://github.com/ethereum/staking-deposit-cli)
- `lighthouse validator-manager import`
- Imports validators from a `validators.json` file to the VC via the HTTP API.
- `lighthouse validator-manager move`
- Moves validators from one VC to the other, utilizing only the VC API.
## Additional Info
In 98bcb947c I've reduced some VC `ERRO` and `CRIT` warnings to `WARN` or `DEBG` for the case where a pubkey is missing from the validator store. These were being triggered when we removed a validator but still had it in caches. It seems to me that `UnknownPubkey` will only happen in the case where we've removed a validator, so downgrading the logs is prudent. All the logs are `DEBG` apart from attestations and blocks which are `WARN`. I thought having *some* logging about this condition might help us down the track.
In 856cd7e37d I've made the VC delete the corresponding password file when it's deleting a keystore. This seemed like nice hygiene. Notably, it'll only delete that password file after it scans the validator definitions and finds that no other validator is also using that password file.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#4354Closes#3987
Replaces #4305, #4283
## Proposed Changes
This switches the default slasher backend _back_ to LMDB.
If an MDBX database exists and the MDBX backend is enabled then MDBX will continue to be used. Our release binaries and Docker images will continue to include MDBX for as long as it is practical, so users of these should not notice any difference.
The main benefit is to users compiling from source and devs running tests. These users no longer have to struggle to compile MDBX and deal with the compatibility issues that arises. Similarly, devs don't need to worry about toggling feature flags in tests or risk forgetting to run the slasher tests due to backend issues.
## Issue Addressed
There was a [`VecDeque` bug](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/108453) in some recent versions of the Rust standard library (1.67.0 & 1.67.1) that could cause Lighthouse to panic (reported by `@Sea Monkey` on discord). See full logs below.
The issue was likely introduced in Rust 1.67.0 and [fixed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/108475) in 1.68, and we were able to reproduce the panic ourselves using [@michaelsproul's fuzz tests](https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/blob/fuzz-lru-time-cache/beacon_node/lighthouse_network/src/peer_manager/fuzz.rs#L111) on both Rust 1.67.0 and 1.67.1.
Users that uses our Docker images or binaries are unlikely affected, as our Docker images were built with `1.66`, and latest binaries were built with latest stable (`1.68.2`). It likely impacts user that builds from source using Rust versions 1.67.x.
## Proposed Changes
Bump Rust version (MSRV) to latest stable `1.68.2`.

## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Bump versions.
- Bump openssl version to resolve various `cargo audit` notices.
## Additional Info
- Requires further testing
There is a race condition which occurs when multiple discovery queries return at almost the exact same time and they independently contain a useful peer we would like to connect to.
The condition can occur that we can add the same peer to the dial queue, before we get a chance to process the queue.
This ends up displaying an error to the user:
```
ERRO Dialing an already dialing peer
```
Although this error is harmless it's not ideal.
There are two solutions to resolving this:
1. As we decide to dial the peer, we change the state in the peer-db to dialing (before we add it to the queue) which would prevent other requests from adding to the queue.
2. We prevent duplicates in the dial queue
This PR has opted for 2. because 1. will complicate the code in that we are changing states in non-intuitive places. Although this technically adds a very slight performance cost, its probably a cleaner solution as we can keep the state-changing logic in one place.
## Proposed Changes
Allowing compiling without MDBX by running:
```bash
CARGO_INSTALL_EXTRA_FLAGS="--no-default-features" make
```
The reasons to do this are several:
- Save compilation time if the slasher won't be used
- Work around compilation errors in slasher backend dependencies (our pinned version of MDBX is currently not compiling on FreeBSD with certain compiler versions).
## Additional Info
When I opened this PR we were using resolver v1 which [doesn't disable default features in dependencies](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/features.html#resolver-version-2-command-line-flags), and `mdbx` is default for the `slasher` crate. Even after the resolver got changed to v2 in #3697 compiling with `--no-default-features` _still_ wasn't turning off the slasher crate's default features, so I added `default-features = false` in all the places we depend on it.

## Proposed Changes
Enable multiple database backends for the slasher, either MDBX (default) or LMDB. The backend can be selected using `--slasher-backend={lmdb,mdbx}`.
## Additional Info
In order to abstract over the two library's different handling of database lifetimes I've used `Box::leak` to give the `Environment` type a `'static` lifetime. This was the only way I could think of using 100% safe code to construct a self-referential struct `SlasherDB`, where the `OpenDatabases` refers to the `Environment`. I think this is OK, as the `Environment` is expected to live for the life of the program, and both database engines leave the database in a consistent state after each write. The memory claimed for memory-mapping will be freed by the OS and appropriately flushed regardless of whether the `Environment` is actually dropped.
We are depending on two `sigp` forks of `libmdbx-rs` and `lmdb-rs`, to give us greater control over MDBX OS support and LMDB's version.

## Proposed Changes
Since Rust 1.62, we can use `#[derive(Default)]` on enums. ✨https://blog.rust-lang.org/2022/06/30/Rust-1.62.0.html#default-enum-variants
There are no changes to functionality in this PR, just replaced the `Default` trait implementation with `#[derive(Default)]`.
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#3069
## Proposed Changes
Unify the `eth1-endpoints` and `execution-endpoints` flags in a backwards compatible way as described in https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3069#issuecomment-1134219221
Users have 2 options:
1. Use multiple non auth execution endpoints for deposit processing pre-merge
2. Use a single jwt authenticated execution endpoint for both execution layer and deposit processing post merge
Related https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3118
To enable jwt authenticated deposit processing, this PR removes the calls to `net_version` as the `net` namespace is not exposed in the auth server in execution clients.
Moving away from using `networkId` is a good step in my opinion as it doesn't provide us with any added guarantees over `chainId`. See https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/issues/2163 and https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2115

## Issue Addressed
Addresses sync stalls on v2.2.0 (i.e. https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3147).
## Additional Info
I've avoided doing a full `cargo update` because I noticed there's a new patch version of libp2p and thought it could do with some more testing.
Co-authored-by: Paul Hauner <paul@paulhauner.com>
## Proposed Changes
Cut release v2.2.0 including proposer boost.
## Additional Info
I also updated the clippy lints for the imminent release of Rust 1.60, although LH v2.2.0 will continue to compile using Rust 1.58 (our MSRV).
## Proposed Changes
I did some gardening 🌳 in our dependency tree:
- Remove duplicate versions of `warp` (git vs patch)
- Remove duplicate versions of lots of small deps: `cpufeatures`, `ethabi`, `ethereum-types`, `bitvec`, `nix`, `libsecp256k1`.
- Update MDBX (should resolve#3028). I tested and Lighthouse compiles on Windows 11 now.
- Restore `psutil` back to upstream
- Make some progress updating everything to rand 0.8. There are a few crates stuck on 0.7.
Hopefully this puts us on a better footing for future `cargo audit` issues, and improves compile times slightly.
## Additional Info
Some crates are held back by issues with `zeroize`. libp2p-noise depends on [`chacha20poly1305`](https://crates.io/crates/chacha20poly1305) which depends on zeroize < v1.5, and we can only have one version of zeroize because it's post 1.0 (see https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/6584). The latest version of `zeroize` is v1.5.4, which is used by the new versions of many other crates (e.g. `num-bigint-dig`). Once a new version of chacha20poly1305 is released we can update libp2p-noise and upgrade everything to the latest `zeroize` version.
I've also opened a PR to `blst` related to zeroize: https://github.com/supranational/blst/pull/111
## Proposed Changes
Add a `lighthouse db` command with three initial subcommands:
- `lighthouse db version`: print the database schema version.
- `lighthouse db migrate --to N`: manually upgrade (or downgrade!) the database to a different version.
- `lighthouse db inspect --column C`: log the key and size in bytes of every value in a given `DBColumn`.
This PR lays the groundwork for other changes, namely:
- Mark's fast-deposit sync (https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2915), for which I think we should implement a database downgrade (from v9 to v8).
- My `tree-states` work, which already implements a downgrade (v10 to v8).
- Standalone purge commands like `lighthouse db purge-dht` per https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2824.
## Additional Info
I updated the `strum` crate to 0.24.0, which necessitated some changes in the network code to remove calls to deprecated methods.
Thanks to @winksaville for the motivation, and implementation work that I used as a source of inspiration (https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2685).
## Proposed Changes
Set a minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) in the `Cargo.toml` for the Lighthouse binary so that attempts to compile it with an outdated compiler fail immediately with a clear error.
To ensure that the codebase builds with the MSRV I've also added a Github actions job that runs `cargo check` using the MSRV extracted from `Cargo.toml`. This will force us to keep it up to date.
I opted to use `cargo check` rather than Clippy because Clippy frequently introduces new lints that we adopt, so our MSRV for Clippy is usually the most recent Rust version, while the MSRV for building Lighthouse is older.
