## Notable changes in v26.10.2

Source: https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/releases/tag/v26.10.2

1. **Hoodi Glamsterdam activation unscheduled** — the release is `high-urgency` for Hoodi and `low-urgency` for other networks (https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/9350).
2. **Support for multiple payload builder URLs** — `--payload-builder-url` is now a list; TOML config files must give it in list form, while command-line usage stays compatible (https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/9336).
3. **New beacon REST API endpoints** — e.g. getProposerPreferences (https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/9296), getStatePtc (#9304) and getProposerLookahead (#9305).
