v1.4.8 release

This is a HIGH severity release which addreses a bug from the 1.4.7 stader-node releases. All NOs who are running the stader-node 1.4.7 release are required to update to v1.4.8. Note that this doesn't affect NOs running versions below 1.4.7.

This issue is with respect to the creation of pre-signed exit messages. With EIP-7044 which was pushed with the Deneb hardfork on Goerli, Exit signatures are required to hard code the fork version to Capella Fork while creating the signing domain for the exit signatures. The complete code to consider the mainnet and goerli capella fork seperately was not shipped in the 1.4.7 release(which done in an emergency response to the Nethermind client issue). This release addresses the handling of the fork version.

v1.4.2 Release

Stader Node v1.4.2 is an important update that addresses a critical issue concerning Cycle 5 reward claims. Some users faced problems due to reward amount discrepancies, potentially causing claim transactions to fail.

To resolve this, Stader Node upgrade v1.4.2 provides a hotfix that replaces the inaccurate Cycle 5 Merkle data with the correct data from the Merkle tree. This ensures that transactions will no longer fail, and Node Operators will receive their accurate rewards.
