Reques to release new patch version of lighthouse to include #7443 (Next sync committee branch bug)

[ParthDesai]

The issue regarding sync committee merkle proof described in #7441 is fixed in #7443 but there is no stable release yet with fix.

This fix is critical for us as without it our light client based relayers stall to submit next sync committee update to client.

Is it possible to release a new patch version to include the fix introduced in #7443 ?

hi @ParthDesai if I provided a v7.0.1 branch that included the patch would you be able to build from source?

Sure. That would probably work. But, Can I ask when would you be able to release new version containing the fix?

@ParthDesai We are planning to release v7.1.0 in the next two weeks or so.

You can run unstable in the meantime if you want the fix and aren't running validators on these nodes. It is quite stable at the moment, despite the name of the branch 😁
