## Proposed Changes
Prune the slashing protection database so that it doesn't exhibit unbounded growth. Prune by dropping attestations and blocks from more than 512 epochs ago, relying on the guards that prevent signing messages with slots or epochs less than the minimum recorded in the DB.
The pruning process is potentially time consuming, so it's scheduled to run only every 512 epochs, in the last 2/3rds of a slot. This gives it at least 4 seconds to run without impacting other signing, which I think should be sufficient. I've seen it run for several minutes (yikes!) on our Pyrmont nodes, but I suspect that 1) this will only occur on the first run when the database is still huge 2) no other production users will be impacted because they don't have enough validators per node.
Pruning also happens at start-up, as I figured this is a fairly infrequent event, and if a user is experiencing problems with the VC related to pruning, it's nice to be able to trigger it with a quick restart. Users are also conditioned to not mind missing a few attestations during a restart.
We need to include a note in the release notes that users may see the message `timed out waiting for connection` the first time they prune a huge database, but that this is totally fine and to be expected (the VC will miss those attestations in the meantime).
I'm also open to making this opt-in for now, although the sooner we get users doing it, the less painful it will be: prune early, prune often!

Rust 1.50 has landed 🎉
The shiny new `clippy` peers down upon us mere mortals with disgust. Brutish peasants wrapping our `usize`s in superfluous `Option`s... tsk tsk.
I've performed the goat sacrifice and corrected our evil ways in this PR. Tonight we shall pray that Github Actions bestows the almighty green tick upon us.

## Issue Addressed
resolves#2129resolves#2099
addresses some of #1712
unblocks #2076
unblocks #2153
## Proposed Changes
- Updates all the dependencies mentioned in #2129, except for web3. They haven't merged their tokio 1.0 update because they are waiting on some dependencies of their own. Since we only use web3 in tests, I think updating it in a separate issue is fine. If they are able to merge soon though, I can update in this PR.
- Updates `tokio_util` to 0.6.2 and `bytes` to 1.0.1.
- We haven't made a discv5 release since merging tokio 1.0 updates so I'm using a commit rather than release atm. **Edit:** I think we should merge an update of `tokio_util` to 0.6.2 into discv5 before this release because it has panic fixes in `DelayQueue` --> PR in discv5: https://github.com/sigp/discv5/pull/58
## Additional Info
tokio 1.0 changes that required some changes in lighthouse:
- `interval.next().await.is_some()` -> `interval.tick().await`
- `sleep` future is now `!Unpin` -> https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/3028
- `try_recv` has been temporarily removed from `mpsc` -> https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/3350
- stream features have moved to `tokio-stream` and `broadcast::Receiver::into_stream()` has been temporarily removed -> `https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/2870
- I've copied over the `BroadcastStream` wrapper from this PR, but can update to use `tokio-stream` once it's merged https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/pull/3384

## Proposed Changes
Copied from #2083, changes the config milliseconds_per_slot to seconds_per_slot to avoid errors when slot duration is not a multiple of a second. To avoid deserializing old serialized data (with milliseconds instead of seconds) the Serialize and Deserialize derive got removed from the Spec struct (isn't currently used anyway).
This PR replaces #2083 for the purpose of fixing a merge conflict without requiring the input of @blacktemplar.

The Fork is required for VC to perform signing. Currently, it is not guaranteed that the Fork has been obtained at the point of the signing as the Fork is obtained at after ForkService starts. We will see the [error](851a4dca3c/validator_client/src/validator_store.rs (L127)) if VC could not perform the signing due to the timing issue.
> Unable to get Fork for signing
## Proposed Changes
Obtain the Fork on `init_from_beacon_node` to fix the timing issue.
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
Bind `NetworkService::start` to an underscore prefixed variable rather than `_`. `_` was causing it to be dropped immediately

## Issue Addressed
Fixes#2141
Remove [tempdir](https://docs.rs/tempdir/0.3.7/tempdir/) in favor of [tempfile](https://docs.rs/tempfile/3.1.0/tempfile/).
## Proposed Changes
`tempfile` has a slightly different api that makes creating temp folders with a name prefix a chore (`tempdir::TempDir::new("toto")` => `tempfile::Builder::new().prefix("toto").tempdir()`).
So I removed temp folder name prefix where I deemed it not useful.
Otherwise, the functionality is the same.

## Proposed Changes
- Removes a duplicated log in the fallback code for the VC.
- Updates the text in the remaining de-duped log.
## Additional Info

```
## Issue Addressed
Fixes#2118
## Proposed Changes
Removes the default value in clap for `--beacon-nodes`.
This was causing issues with cli picking `--beacon-nodes` default even when not specified and overriding `--beacon-node`.
Seems like it was more evident with docker setups because it doesn't use the default `http://localhost:5052` option.
Edit: we already set the default to `http://localhost:5052` here so this shouldn't break any existing setups.

## Additional info
Tested this with docker-compose and binaries. Works as expected in both cases.
## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1883
## Proposed Changes
This follows on from @blacktemplar's work in #2018.
- Allows the VC to connect to multiple BN for redundancy.
- Update the simulator so some nodes always need to rely on their fallback.
- Adds some extra deprecation warnings for `--eth1-endpoint`
- Pass `SignatureBytes` as a reference instead of by value.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#1264
## Proposed Changes
* Milagro BLS: tweak the feature flags so that Milagro doesn't get compiled if we're using BLST. Profiling showed that it was consuming about 1 minute of CPU time out of 60 minutes of CPU time (real time ~15 mins). A 1.6% saving.
* Reduce monomorphization: compiling for 3 different `EthSpec` types causes a heck of a lot of generic functions to be instantiated (monomorphized). Removing 2 of 3 cuts the LLVM+linking step from around 250 seconds to 180 seconds, a saving of 70 seconds (real time!). This applies only to `make` and not the CI build, because we test with the minimal spec on CI.
* Update `web3` crate to v0.13. This is perhaps the most controversial change, because it requires axing some deposit contract tools from `lcli`. I suspect these tools weren't used much anyway, and could be maintained separately, but I'm also happy to revert this change. However, it does save us a lot of compile time. With #1839, we now have 3 versions of Tokio (and all of Tokio's deps). This change brings us down to 2 versions, but 1 should be achievable once web3 (and reqwest) move to Tokio 0.3.
* Remove `lcli` from the Docker image. It's a dev tool and can be built from the repo if required.
## Issue Addressed
#1992 and #1987, and also to be considered a continuation of #1751
## Proposed Changes
many changed files but most are renaming to align the code with the semantics of `--network`
- remove the `--network` default value (in clap) and instead set it after checking the `network` and `testnet-dir` flags
- move `eth2_testnet_config` crate to `eth2_network_config`
- move `Eth2TestnetConfig` to `Eth2NetworkConfig`
- move `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_TESTNET` to `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_NETWORK`
- `beacon_node`s `get_eth2_testnet_config` loads the `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_NETWORK` if there is no network nor testnet provided
- `boot_node`s config loads the config same as the `beacon_node`, it was using the configuration only for preconfigured networks (That code is ~1year old so I asume it was not intended)
- removed a one year old comment stating we should try to emulate `https://github.com/eth2-clients/eth2-testnets/tree/master/nimbus/testnet1` it looks outdated (?)
- remove `lighthouse`s `load_testnet_config` in favor of `get_eth2_network_config` to centralize that logic (It had differences)
- some spelling
## Additional Info
Both the command of #1992 and the scripts of #1987 seem to work fine, same as `bn` and `vc`

This also brings with it a number of various improvements:
- Discv5 update
- Libp2p update
- Fix for recompilation issues
- Improved UPnP port mapping handling
- Futures dependency update
- Log downgrade to traces for rejecting peers when we've reached our max

## Issue Addressed
Closes#1823
## Proposed Changes
* Use OS-level file locking for validator keystores, eliminating problems with lockfiles lingering after ungraceful shutdowns (`SIGKILL`, power outage). I'm using the `fs2` crate because it's cross-platform (unlike `file-lock`), and it seems to have the most downloads on crates.io.
* Deprecate + disable `--delete-lockfiles` CLI param, it's no longer necessary
* Delete the `validator_dir::Manager`, as it was mostly dead code and was only used in the `validator list` command, which has been rewritten to read the validator definitions YAML instead.

## Proposed Changes
- Adds a HTTP server to the VC which provides Prometheus metrics.
- Moves the health metrics into the `lighthouse_metrics` crate so it can be shared between BN/VC.
- Sprinkle some metrics around the VC.
- Update the book to indicate that we now have VC metrics.
- Shifts the "waiting for genesis" logic later in the `ProductionValidatorClient::new_from_cli`
- This is worth attention during the review.
## Additional Info
- ~~`clippy` has some new lints that are failing. I'll deal with that in another PR.~~

## Proposed Changes
Fixes the bug in slashing protection import (#1873) by pruning the database upon import.
Also expands the test generator to cover this case and a few others which are under discussion here:

## Issue Addressed
Closes#1790
## Proposed Changes
Make a new method that creates an empty transaction with `TransactionBehavior::Exclusive` to check whether the slashing protection is locked. Call this method before attempting to create or import new validator keystores.

## Proposed Changes
- Error when passwords which use invalid UTF-8 characters during encryption.
- Add some tests
## Additional Info
I've decided to error when bad characters are used to create/encrypt a keystore but think we should allow them during decryption since either the keystore was created
- with invalid UTF-8 characters (possibly by another client or someone whose password is random bytes) in which case we'd want them to be able to decrypt their keystore using the right key.
- without invalid characters then the password checksum would almost certainly fail.
Happy to add them to decryption if we want to make the decryption more trigger happy 😋 , it would only be a one line change and would tell the user which character index is causing the issue.

## Proposed Changes
Improves the deletion of the validator key cache lock file in case of program interrupts.
## Additional Info
This should reduce cases where a lock file doesn't get removed on shutdown and reduce complaints on Discord. This will be superseded by issue #1823.
## Proposed Changes
Update the slashing protection interchange format to v5 in preparation for finalisation as part of an EIP.
Also, add some more tests and update the commit hash for https://github.com/eth2-clients/slashing-protection-interchange-tests to include the new generated tests.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1504Closes#1505
Replaces #1703Closes#1707
## Proposed Changes
* Update BLST and Milagro to versions compatible with BLSv4 spec
* Update Lighthouse to spec v1.0.0-rc.0, and update EF test vectors
* Use the v1.0.0 constants for `MainnetEthSpec`.
* Rename `InteropEthSpec` -> `V012LegacyEthSpec`
* Change all constants to suit the mainnet `v0.12.3` specification (i.e., Medalla).
* Deprecate the `--spec` flag for the `lighthouse` binary
* This value is now obtained from the `config_name` field of the `YamlConfig`.
* Built in testnet YAML files have been updated.
* Ignore the `--spec` value, if supplied, log a warning that it will be deprecated
* `lcli` still has the spec flag, that's fine because it's dev tooling.
* Remove the `E: EthSpec` from `YamlConfig`
* This means we need to deser the genesis `BeaconState` on-demand, but this is fine.
* Swap the old "minimal", "mainnet" strings over to the new `EthSpecId` enum.
* Always require a `CONFIG_NAME` field in `YamlConfig` (it used to have a default).
## Additional Info
Lots of breaking changes, do not merge! ~~We will likely need a Lighthouse v0.4.0 branch, and possibly a long-term v0.3.0 branch to keep Medalla alive~~.

## Proposed Changes
- Panic or return error if we overflow `usize` in SSZ decoding/encoding derive macros.
- I claim that the panics can only be triggered by a faulty type definition in lighthouse, they cannot be triggered externally on a validly defined struct.
- Use `Ordering` instead of some `if` statements, as demanded by clippy.
- Remove some old clippy `allow` that seem to no longer be required.
- Add comments to interesting clippy statements that we're going to continue to ignore.

## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1766
## Proposed Changes
- Use the `warp::filters::cors` filter instead of our work-around.
## Additional Info
It's not trivial to enable/disable `cors` using `warp`, since using `routes.with(cors)` changes the type of `routes`. This makes it difficult to apply/not apply cors at runtime. My solution has been to *always* use the `warp::filters::cors` wrapper but when cors should be disabled, just pass the HTTP server listen address as the only permissible origin.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Don't exit early if the VC is without any validators.
- When there are no validators, always create the slashing database (even without `--init-slashing-protection`).
## Proposed Changes
* Add documentation about slashing protection, including how to troubleshoot issues and move between clients.
* Add an error message if the validator client is started with 0 validators. Previously it would hit an error relating to the slashing protection database not existing, which wrongly pushed people towards using the unsafe `--init-slashing-protection` flag.
It looks like the default docker image used by cross doesn't have
wget installed. This causes builds to fail. This can be fixed by
switching to curl.
## Issue Addressed
cross-compiling was broken (at least for build-aarch64)
## Proposed Changes
swap wget for curl
## Issue Addressed
#1618
## Proposed Changes
Adds an encrypted key cache that is loaded on validator_client startup. It stores the keypairs for all enabled keystores and uses as password the concatenation the passwords of all enabled keystores. This reduces the number of time intensive key derivitions for `N` validators from `N` to `1`. On changes the cache gets updated asynchronously to avoid blocking the main thread.
## Additional Info
If the cache contains the keypair of a keystore that is not in the validator_definitions.yml file during loading the cache cannot get decrypted. In this case all the keystores get decrypted and then the cache gets overwritten. To avoid that one can disable keystores in validator_definitions.yml and restart the client which will remove them from the cache, after that one can entirely remove the keystore (from the validator_definitions.yml and from the disk).
Other solutions to the above "problem" might be:
* Add a CLI and/or API function for removing keystores which will update the cache (asynchronously).
* Add a CLI and/or API function that just updates the cache (asynchronously) after a modification of the `validator_definitions.yml` file.
Note that the cache file has a lock file which gets removed immediatly after the cache was used or updated.
