This is a recommended update for all storage providers.
This update allows the storage to receive Boost deals if it's running boost. If boost isn't running, it will continue to receive deals as usual with the legacy (current) deal proposal protocol.
To reiterate: it's safe to update to this version even if you're not running Boost.
--Note for storage providers running Boost--
For some time, we'll add a whitelist on the backend side to allow specific storage providers receive deals when running boost. This allows everybody to ramp up Boost usage in a controlled fashion.
If you're running Boost and want to allow bidbot to receive deals through Boost and not the legacy protocol, please ping @jsign (Filecoin slack, or Textile discord server) so it can add your storage provider id to the Boost whitelist.
