This patch-release supports an event subscription from dBFT and improves the PreBlock construction about Envelope transaction handling. Since the Cancun and Prague upgrades work on TestNet quite well, this version also schedules the same upgrades for MainNet.

This version is fully compatible with v0.5.0 and does not require node resynchronization. For TestNet nodes no configuration changes are required on upgrade (comparing to v0.5.0). For MainNet nodes the DB reinitialization is required with the updated genesis configuration since Cancun and Prague forks are enabled. Follow the instructions below to upgrade your node from v0.5.0 to v0.5.1:

1. Download new binary and new genesis configuration file from the release page.
2. Gracefully stop the node.
3. Replace the old binary with the new binary.
4. For MainNet nodes only: don't remove DB; reinitialize DB using new binary and new genesis configuration file with the following command:

   ./geth init --datadir ./node-datadir ./config/genesis.json
   

5. Start the node.
