When publishing releases, reth will include an "Update Priority" section in the release notes, in the same manner Lighthouse does.
The "Update Priority" section will include a table which may appear like so:
| User Class | Priority |
|---|---|
| Payload Builders | Medium Priority |
| Non-Payload Builders | Low Priority |
To understand this table, the following terms are important:
- Payload builders are those who use reth to build and validate payloads.
- Non-payload builders are those who run reth for other purposes (e.g., data analysis, RPC or applications).
- High priority updates should be completed as soon as possible (e.g., hours or days).
- Medium priority updates should be completed at the next convenience (e.g., days or a week).
- Low priority updates should be completed in the next routine update cycle (e.g., two weeks).
