## Issue Addressed
As discussed on last-night's consensus call, the testnets next week will target the [Kiln Spec v2](https://hackmd.io/@n0ble/kiln-spec).
Presently, we support Kiln V1. V2 is backwards compatible, except for renaming `random` to `prev_randao` in:
- https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/pull/180
- https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2835
With this PR we'll no longer be compatible with the existing Kintsugi and Kiln testnets, however we'll be ready for the testnets next week. I raised this breaking change in the call last night, we are all keen to move forward and break things.
We now target the [`merge-kiln-v2`](https://github.com/MariusVanDerWijden/go-ethereum/tree/merge-kiln-v2) branch for interop with Geth. This required adding the `--http.aauthport` to the tester to avoid a port conflict at startup.
### Changes to exec integration tests
There's some change in the `merge-kiln-v2` version of Geth that means it can't compile on a vanilla Github runner. Bumping the `go` version on the runner solved this issue.
Whilst addressing this, I refactored the `testing/execution_integration` crate to be a *binary* rather than a *library* with tests. This means that we don't need to run the `build.rs` and build Geth whenever someone runs `make lint` or `make test-release`. This is nice for everyday users, but it's also nice for CI so that we can have a specific runner for these tests and we don't need to ensure *all* runners support everything required to build all execution clients.
## More Info
- [x] ~~EF tests are failing since the rename has broken some tests that reference the old field name. I have been told there will be new tests released in the coming days (25/02/22 or 26/02/22).~~
## Issue Addressed
Timeouts due to Windows builds running for 2h 20m.
## Proposed Changes
* Increase Bors timeout to 3h
* Refine the target branch check so that it will pass when we make PRs to feature branches. This is just an extra change I've been meaning to sneak in for a while.
## Additional Info
* I think it would also be cool to try caching for CI again, but that's a separate issue and we'll still need the long timeout on a cache miss.
Attempt to prevent accidental merges to `stable` due to GitHub's default behaviour of opening PRs against it.
I've intentionally opened this PR against `stable` to test the functionality ;)
## Issue Addressed
N/A
## Proposed Changes
Remove the MacOs tests. They routinely fail, causing bors to retry and slowing down the whole merge process.
