This document describes how to upgrade existing light client objects based on the Altair specification to Capella. This is necessary when processing pre-Capella data with a post-Capella LightClientStore
. Note that the data being exchanged over the network protocols uses the original format.
A Capella LightClientStore
can still process earlier light client data. In order to do so, that pre-Capella data needs to be locally upgraded to Capella before processing.

Existing LightClientStore
objects based on Altair MUST be upgraded to Capella before Capella based light client data can be processed. The LightClientStore
upgrade MAY be performed before CAPELLA_FORK_EPOCH
.
