Release

v1.1.0-alpha.7 pre-release -- Blue Loop -- fixes an issue identified by @potuz that led to high variance in validator rewards due to the magnitude and structure of sync committee rewards. Additionally, it makes a number of non-substantive cleanups as well as a couple of small bug patches.

Both Merge and Sharding progress continue! The first full specification of the PoW -> PoS transition process is contained in this release (#2462), and there is plenty of continued iteration and refinement of the R&D sharding specs.

PR showing full diff can be found here: #2468
