v1.17.4

Release notes

This is a low-priority release. Bigger changes will come with the release of v1.18.0 that we're currently testing.

This release is intended only for nodes that are syncing from scratch. If a node is already synced with v1.17.3, upgrade is unnecessary.

Changes

• Updated the sync pivots in the configuration file. Nethermind requires a regular update of sync pivots to get the best sync performance. [#5574]
• Updated the Sepolia bootnodes to address peering problems [#5567]
