+## [v5.1.2](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/compare/v5.1.1...v5.1.2) - 2024-10-16 
+
+This is a hotfix release with one change. 
+
+Prysm v5.1.1 contains an updated implementation of the beacon api streaming events endpoint. This
+new implementation contains a bug that can cause a panic in certain conditions. The issue is
+difficult to reproduce reliably and we are still trying to determine the root cause, but in the
+meantime we are issuing a patch that recovers from the panic to prevent the node from crashing.
+
+This only impacts the v5.1.1 release beacon api event stream endpoints. This endpoint is used by the
+prysm REST mode validator (a feature which requires the validator to be configured to use the beacon
+api intead of prysm's stock grpc endpoints) or accessory software that connects to the events api,
+like https://github.com/ethpandaops/ethereum-metrics-exporter
