CELESTIA-NODE v0.30.2 — Mainnet Beta upgrade

Dear partners and node operators,

We are pleased to announce a new version of celestia-node today. Please upgrade as soon as possible to benefit from the latest fixes and improvements.

Celestia-node:

This release adds support for celestia-app v8 and is safe to run before the migration. Once the v8 activation height takes place, upgrading to this version is required.

• Key Highlights

• TLS Support for JSON-RPC  — Users are encouraged to enable TLS in their RPC clients to secure connections to endpoints.

• Export Prometheus Metrics to OpenTelemetry (#3702) — All telemetry, including libp2p metrics, is now exported via OpenTelemetry. A separate Prometheus instance is no longer required to collect these metrics.

• Shrex server enabled on Bridge Nodes  — Bridge nodes can now serve samples over the shrex protocol.

• Improved Bridge Node fresh start — Bridge nodes can now start from non-archival consensus nodes and sync headers and data from the p2p network.

• Full node option removed

• Headers in subscription responses
