Summary

  • Promote Unreleased notes into ## [0.5.0] (proposer precompile, Reth 2.5, ev-deployer/ev-dev removal)
  • Backfill ## [0.4.1] — those notes were merged under Unreleased in chore: create change log for v0.4.1 #279 and the v0.4.1 tag is off-main
  • Document the removed binaries in docs/UPGRADE-v0.5.0.md

After merge

git checkout main && git pull
git tag -a v0.5.0 -m "v0.5.0"
git push origin v0.5.0

Pushing the tag triggers .github/workflows/release.yml (binaries + GitHub release). There are currently git tags but no GitHub releases.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added release notes for version 0.5.0, including the proposer-control precompile and major tooling changes.
    • Added upgrade guidance confirming no chainspec changes or new required configuration fields for existing networks.
    • Documented the removal of ev-deployer and ev-dev, along with replacement workflows.

Promote Unreleased notes into 0.5.0 and backfill the missing 0.4.1
section. Note the ev-deployer / ev-dev removal in the upgrade guide.

The changelog adds the v0.5.0 release section. The upgrade guide documents existing-network requirements, the Reth v2.5.0 engine upgrade, and replacements for removed tools.

Release notes and upgrade guide
CHANGELOG.md, docs/UPGRADE-v0.5.0.md
The changelog records v0.5.0 changes. The upgrade guide documents chainspec requirements, the Reth engine upgrade, and replacement workflows for removed tools.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 26e62

The upgrade guide currently gives incomplete migration instructions: it broadly says no chainspec changes are needed and omits replacements for Permit2 and the deterministic deployer. Operators could misconfigure proposer activation or fail to reproduce required deployments, so these instructions should be corrected before merge.

No chainspec changes are required for existing networks. Rebuild and deploy the new binary. Existing chains keep current proposer behavior until `proposerControlAdmin` is set.

Reth is now v2.5.0 (from v2.2.0 in v0.4.1). That is an internal engine bump: no new required `config` fields.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Qualify the no-chainspec-change statement.

Line 7 is too broad for an existing network that enables proposer control. proposerControlAdmin, proposerControlActivationHeight, and initialNextProposer are chainspec fields under config.evolve. If nodes load different values, they can disagree about precompile activation and proposer state. State that no chainspec change is needed only when proposer control remains disabled. Require the same updated chainspec on every full node and the sequencer before activation.

Proposed wording
-No chainspec changes are required for existing networks. Rebuild and deploy the new binary. Existing chains keep current proposer behavior until `proposerControlAdmin` is set.
+No chainspec changes are required for existing networks unless proposer control is enabled. Rebuild and deploy the new binary. If proposer control is enabled, distribute the same updated chainspec to every full node and the sequencer before the activation height.

`ev-deployer` and `ev-dev` were removed. If you used them:

- Generate genesis allocs with the Foundry scripts under `contracts/script/` (`GenerateFeeVaultAlloc`, `GenerateAdminProxyAlloc`)
- Run a local stack with the `ev-reth` binary plus ev-node, not `ev-dev`

Cover Permit2 and the deterministic deployer in the migration guide.

The former ev-deployer genesis workflow emitted alloc entries for AdminProxy, Permit2, and the deterministic deployer. The listed scripts cover only AdminProxy and FeeVault. Add documented replacements and invocation steps for Permit2 and the deterministic deployer.
