+## 5.1.1

+
+Validators should recreated `validator.node.yaml` so the network has uniform configurations.
+
+### TL;DR Deployment
+
+Validators should update with:
+
+```
+cd ~/libra
+git fetch
+git checkout v5.1.1 -f
+make bins install web-files
+
+# recreate validator.node.yaml, to have uniform configurations
+ol init --val
+
+# you can now restart your services
+
+
+```
+
+# Changes
+
+# Features
+* Add Prometheus metrics for tx execution and 0L VDFs [#1102](https://github.com/OLSF/libra/pull/1102)
+* Tx api for revoking vouch [#1098](https://github.com/OLSF/libra/pull/1098)
+
+# Improvement
+* Update 0L default configs for mempool and state sync [#1100](https://github.com/OLSF/libra/pull/1100)
+* Set rotation can only expand by 1/6 [#1099](https://github.com/OLSF/libra/pull/1099)
+* Makewhole claim bindings f*or making transactions on Carpe[#1097](https://github.com/OLSF/libra/pull/1097)
+* Patch bug making node crash on bad block commit [#1112](https://github.com/OLSF/libra/pull/1112)
+
+### Tests
+
+- All continuous integration tests passed.

+
+###  Compatibility
