Nimbus v22.9.1

[zahary]

Dear node runners,

We have a new release out!

Nimbus v22.9.1 is a medium-urgency upgrade addressing several frequently reported issues after the merge and bringing minor performance improvements in the post-merge world.

The release follows the earlier v22.9.0 which was a high-urgency upgrade that fixes a critical pre-TTD block production issue affecting users that restarted their node after Bellatrix. It also improves compatibility with Besu, Prysm and slow block builders and provides a speed boost in block processing important for those running on Raspberry Pi and similar hardware.

A shout out to our great community for reporting and helping diagnose the issues that led up to this release - in particular Michael Sproul (Lighthouse) and Joe Clapis (Rocket Pool).

Please see our release notes for the full list of improvements and fixes:

Onwards and happy staking!
