[Preston Van Loon]

v7.0.1 - 2025-12-08

This patch release contains 4 cherry-picked changes to address the mainnet attestation processing issue from 2025-12-04. Operators are encouraged to update to this release as soon as practical. As of this release, the feature flag --disable-last-epoch-targets has been deprecated and can be safely removed from your node configuration.

A post mortem doc will full details is expected to be published later this week.

Changed

• Move the "Not enough connected peers" (for a given subnet) from WARN to DEBUG. [PR]
• Use dependent root instead of target when possible. [PR]
• Introduced flag --ignore-unviable-attestations (replaces and deprecates --disable-last-epoch-targets) to drop attestations whose target state is not viable; default remains to process them unless explicitly enabled. [PR]

Fixed

• Use head state to validate attestations for old blocks if they are compatible. [PR]
