Activate peerDAS at electra.

* Refactor subnets subscriptions.

* Remove totally static/dynamic distinction.

* Unsubscribing from topic: Use INFO instead of log.

==> So we have something symmetrical with subscriptions.

* Address Nishant's comment.

+## [v5.2.0](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/compare/v5.1.2...v5.2.0)
+
+Updating to this release is highly recommended, especially for users running v5.1.1 or v5.1.2.
+This release is **mandatory** for all validator clients using mev-boost with a gas limit increase.
+Without upgrading to this release, validator clients will default to using local execution blocks
+when the gas limit starts to increase.
+
+This release has several fixes and new features. In this release, we have enabled QUIC protocol by
+default, which uses port 13000 for `--p2p-quic-port`. This may be a [breaking change](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14688#issuecomment-2516713826)
+if you're using port 13000 already. This release has some improvements for raising the gas limit,
+but there are [known issues](https://hackmd.io/@ttsao/prysm-gas-limit) with the proposer settings
+file provided gas limit not being respected for mev-boost outsourced blocks. Signalling an increase
+for the gas limit works perfectly for local block production as of this release. See [pumpthegas.org](https://pumpthegas.org) for more info on raising the gas limit on L1.
+
+Notable features:
+- Prysm can reuse blobs from the EL via engine_getBlobsV1, [potentially saving bandwidth](https://hackmd.io/@ttsao/get-blobs-early-results).
+- QUIC is enabled by default. This is a UDP based networking protocol with default port 13000.

+
+### Deprecated
+
+- `/eth/v1alpha1/validator/activation/stream` grpc wait for activation stream is deprecated. [pr](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14514)
+- `--interop-genesis-time` and `--interop-num-validators` have been deprecated in the beacon node as the functionality has been removed. These flags have no effect.
+
+### Removed
+
+- Removed finalized validator index cache, no longer needed.
+- Removed validator queue position log on key reload and wait for activation.
+- Removed outdated spectest exclusions for EIP-6110.
+- Removed support for starting a beacon node with a deterministic interop genesis state via interop flags. Alteratively, create a genesis state with prysmctl and use `--genesis-state`. This removes about 9Mb (~11%) of unnecessary code and dependencies from the final production binary.
+- Removed kzg proof check from blob reconstructor.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed mesh size by appending `gParams.Dhi = gossipSubDhi`
+- Fix skipping partial withdrawals count.
+- wait for the async StreamEvent writer to exit before leaving the http handler, avoiding race condition panics [pr](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14557)
+- Certain deb files were returning a 404 which made building new docker images without an existing
+  cache impossible. This has been fixed with updates to rules_oci and bazel-lib.
+- Fixed an issue where the length check between block body KZG commitments and the existing cache from the database was incompatible.
+- Fix `--backfill-oldest-slot` handling - this flag was totally broken, the code would always backfill to the default slot [pr](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14584)
+- Fix keymanager API should return corrected error format for malformed tokens
+- Fix keymanager API so that get keys returns an empty response instead of a 500 error when using an unsupported keystore.
+- Small log imporvement, removing some redundant or duplicate logs
+- EIP7521 - Fixes withdrawal bug by accounting for pending partial withdrawals and deducting already withdrawn amounts from the sweep balance. [PR](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14578)
+- unskip electra merkle spec test
+- Fix panic in validator REST mode when checking status after removing all keys
+- Fix panic on attestation interface since we call data before validation
+- corrects nil check on some interface attestation types
+- temporary solution to handling electra attesation and attester_slashing events. [pr](14655)
+- Diverse log improvements and comment additions.
+- Validate that each committee bitfield in an aggregate contains at least one non-zero bit
+- P2P: Avoid infinite loop when looking for peers in small networks.
+- Fixed another rollback bug due to a context deadline.
+- Fix checkpoint sync bug on holesky. [pr](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14689)
+- Fix proposer boost spec tests being flakey by adjusting start time from 3 to 2s into slot.

+
+## [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
+
+### Fixed 
+
+- Recover from panics when writing the event stream [#14545](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14545)
+
+## [v5.1.1](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/compare/v5.1.0...v5.1.1) - 2024-10-15
+
+This release has a number of features and improvements. Most notably, the feature flag 
+`--enable-experimental-state` has been flipped to "opt out" via `--disable-experimental-state`. 
+The experimental state management design has shown significant improvements in memory usage at
+runtime. Updates to libp2p's gossipsub have some bandwidith stability improvements with support for
+IDONTWANT control messages. 
+
+The gRPC gateway has been deprecated from Prysm in this release. If you need JSON data, consider the
+standardized beacon-APIs. 
+
+Updating to this release is recommended at your convenience.

 ## Installation & Setup
 
 1. Install [Bazel](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/install.html) **(Recommended)**

-Prysm supports a few ways to quickly launch a beacon node from basic configurations:
-
-- `NumValidators + GenesisTime`: Launches a beacon node by deterministically generating a state from a num-validators flag along with a genesis time **(Recommended)**
-- `SSZ Genesis`: Launches a beacon node  from a .ssz file containing a SSZ-encoded, genesis beacon state
+Prysm can be started from a built-in mainnet genesis state, or started with a provided genesis state by
+using the `--genesis-state` flag and providing a path to the genesis.ssz file.

-### Usage
-
-- **--genesis-time** uint: Unix timestamp used as the genesis time in the generated genesis state (defaults to now)
-- **--num-validators** int: Number of validators to deterministically include in the generated genesis state
-- **--output-ssz** string: Output filename of the SSZ marshaling of the generated genesis state
-- **--config-name=interop** string: name of the beacon chain config to use when generating the state. ex mainnet|minimal|interop
-
-The example below creates 64 validator keys, instantiates a genesis state with those 64 validators and with genesis unix timestamp 1567542540,
-and finally writes a ssz encoded output to ~/Desktop/genesis.ssz. This file can be used to kickstart the beacon chain in the next section. When using the `--interop-*` flags, the beacon node will assume the `interop` config should be used, unless a different config is specified on the command line.
+```sh
+# Download (or create) a chain config file.
+curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/refs/heads/dev/configs/minimal.yaml -o /tmp/minimal.yaml
 
+# Run prysmctl to generate genesis with a 2 minute genesis delay and 256 validators.

-bazel run //tools/genesis-state-gen -- --config-name interop --output-ssz ~/Desktop/genesis.ssz --num-validators 64 --genesis-time 1567542540
-```
+
+The flags are explained below:
+- `bazel run //cmd/prysmctl` is the bazel command to compile and run prysmctl.
+- `--config=minimal` is a bazel build time configuration flag to compile Prysm with minimal state constants.
+- `--` is an argument divider to tell bazel that everything after this divider should be passed as arguments to prysmctl. Without this divider, it isn't clear to bazel if the arguments are meant to be build time arguments or runtime arguments so the operation complains and fails to build without this divider.
+- `testnet` is the primary command argument for prysmctl.
+- `generate-genesis` is the subcommand to `testnet` in prysmctl.
+- `--genesis-time-delay` uint: The number of seconds in the future to define genesis. Example: a value of 60 will set the genesis time to 1 minute in the future. This should be sufficiently large enough to allow for you to start the beacon node before the genesis time. 
+- `--num-validators` int: Number of validators to deterministically include in the generated genesis state
+- `--output-ssz` string: Output filename of the SSZ marshaling of the generated genesis state
+- `--chain-config-file` string: Filepath to a chain config yaml file.

+Note: This guide saves items to the `/tmp/` directory which will not persist if your machine is
+restarted. Consider tweaking the arguments if persistence is needed.

+This will start the system with 256 validators. The flags used can be explained as such:
+
+- `bazel run //cmd/beacon-chain --config=minimal` builds and runs the beacon node in minimal build configuration.
+- `--` is a flag divider to distingish between bazel flags and flags that should be passed to the application. All flags and arguments after this divider are passed to the beacon chain.
+- `--minimal-config` tells the beacon node to use minimal network configuration. This is different from the compile time state configuration flag `--config=minimal` and both are required.
+- `--bootstrap-node=` disables the default bootstrap nodes. This prevents the client from attempting to peer with mainnet nodes.
+- `--datadir=/tmp/beacon-chain-minimal-devnet` sets the data directory in a temporary location. Change this to your preferred destination.
+- `--force-clear-db` will delete the beaconchain.db file without confirming with the user. This is helpful for iteratively running local devnets without changing the datadir, but less helpful for one off runs where there was no database in the data directory.
+- `--min-sync-peers=0` allows the beacon node to skip initial sync without peers. This is essential because Prysm expects at least a few peers to start start the blockchain.
+- `--genesis-state=/tmp/genesis.ssz` defines the path to the generated genesis ssz file. The beacon node will use this as the initial genesis state.
+- `--chain-config-file=/tmp/minimal.yaml` defines the path to the yaml file with the chain configuration.
+
+As soon as the beacon node has started, start the validator in the other terminal window. 
 
 ```
-bazel run //validator -- --keymanager=interop --keymanageropts='{"keys":64}'
