+- 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.

+### Security
+
+## [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.
