Summary
This release supports connecting to Arbitrum Mainnet using the -network arbitrum-one-mainnet flag after the L1 Ethereum block 14207040 which is the block at which LIP-73 i.e. the Confluence upgrade will be activated. Prior to this block, running the node wtih -network arbitrum-one-mainnet will result in a startup error so it is recommended to wait until after block 14207040 to run the node with the -network arbitrum-one-mainnet flag. We strongly encourage all node operators to upgrade to this release so they can connect to Arbitrum Mainnet after the LIP-73 block.
Additional updates in this release include various improvements to compatibility with Arbitrum networks as well as the initial groundwork for enabling H.265/HEVC encoding/decoding and VP8/VP9 decoding jobs on the network.
