There are three kinds of updates as stated in the README file.

"block-hash-stable" updates. These are updates that you don't need to apply. They normally add additional endpoints to the validator API, or improve or fix bugs with the installation scripts.

"block-hash-breaking" updates. These are updates that you must apply before their scheduled "go-live" block. If your node is not updated before the go-live block, your node's block hash will be different, and you will not earn rewards.

"schema-breaking" updates. These are updates you must apply before their scheduled "go-live" block, but you must apply them on the block before the go-live block.

Version 1.0.1 is a block-hash-stable update.
