v0.5.29

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

General

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

Transcoder
