release notes

## Summary
This high-priority release includes a fix to ensure validator's messages are published on the network (#5357). Additionally, out-of-memory crashes are prevented by reducing peak memory usage (#5270).
This release (v5.1.0) and the previous release (v5.0.0) both support the Deneb upgrade on March 13, 2024 at 13:55 UTC. Users who are already running v5.0.0 are not required to upgrade to v5.1.0 before Deneb, but it is recommended.
Notable changes in this release:

Lighthouse now caches 3 states by default, rather than 4. The value can be modified with --state-cache-size (#5270)
The PATCH /lighthouse/validators/{validator_pubkey} VC HTTP API endpoint has been optimised (#5064)
A bug that prevented messages from being published to peers has been fixed (#5357)
Performance for NAT'd nodes has been improved (#5345)
Concurrent block production has been optimised, providing benefits for SSV operators (#5365)
A bug in the validator client which resulted in WARN Not enough time for a discovery search has been fixed (#5305)

Breaking Changes
Breaking Change: Milagro BLS is no longer supported
Lighthouse no longer supports the Milagro BLS library (#5298). This library was not recommended for production use and had to be manually enabled at compile time. We do not expect this change to impact users.
Reminder: Minimum Supported Rust Version 1.75.0
The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) was updated to 1.75.0 in a previous release (v5.0.0). Users who compile from source (i.e., not Docker or pre-built binary users) will receive the following error if they are using an earlier version of Rust:
lighthouse v5.1.0 (/home/sigp/lighthouse/lighthouse) cannot be built because it requires rustc 1.75 or newer

Users can typically obtain the latest version of Rust by running rustup update.

Lighthouse BNs and VCs from v5.0.0 and v5.1.0 are intercompatible. However, we recommend that users update both the VC and BN to v5.1.0.

We've discovered an issue with the compilation of 5.1.0 on newer versions of macOS. Our CI failed to catch it because I think Github updated the macOS version we were using after the 5.1.0 release was built.

We may soon cut a 5.1.1 release with this PR:

• Fix macOS build by updating cc sigp/lighthouse#5393

[chong-he]

Lighthouse 5.1.1 which supports macOS is out: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/releases/tag/v5.1.1

It would be great to have a PR for that, thanks!

LGTM

Could a reviewer please sign off on this?

[sjmueller]

Please consider reviewing with expediency, as you can see with sigp/lighthouse#5410 most of us who use Apple Silicon rely on homebrew for lighthouse, and 5.1.1 is highly recommended for dencun, which went live yesterday

[michaelsproul]

@p-linnane Sorry to bug you, but I noticed you signed off on the last Lighthouse PR:

• lighthouse 5.0.0 #163659

Thanks 🙏
