This release is a fast follow release for v0.5.28 with a few bug fixes including a fix for a nil pointer error when parsing block header logs that could cause the node to crash and a fix for displaying the global LPT supply and participation rate in livepeer_cli.

This release also includes a darwin arm64 build and darwin/linux binaries compiled using Go 1.17.6.

Breaking Changes 🚨🚨

• The segment_transcoded_appeared_total and transcode_latency_seconds metrics are removed because they were tracked per transcoding profile and the node already tracks the overall version of the metrics
• The upload_time_seconds and discovery_errors_toatl metrics are tracked per orchestrators instead of per stream

Features ⚒

General

• #2274 Reduce the number of metrics datapoints (@darkdragon)

Transcoder

• #2259 Improve startup capability test to check for Nvidia encoder session limit and to fail fast if a default capability is not supported (@cyberj0g)

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 with -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.
