Besu 20.10.0-RC2 is now available.
This is our second release candidate towards our 20.10.0 release. It should be more stable than RC1, but still isn’t intended for production use. Improvements include: 

• Reverted our eth/65 fix and having it enabled by default as we keep investigating 

• Support for the latest ETC fork, Thanos

• Added the Open Telemetry Java agent to report traces to a remote backend

• Added EvmTool binary to the distribution, which is a CLI that can execute EVM bytecode and execute ethereum state tests

• Reduce load on peers by introducing pull blocks mode via event service, eliminate blockchain polling.
