The change to 0.90.35 shouldn’t impact anything (nor tell us anything) as it was an unused feature that was added.

I hope it will be used soon, this gossipsub sounds juicy, with archiving nodes etc…right?

@maidsafe

@bochaco is working to integrate libp2p gossipsub messaging into the network. This adds support for pub/sub behaviour and messaging, allowing nodes to subscribe to certain services. Foundation nodes will be able to subscribe to Foundation payments, archiving nodes to archiving messages, and so on. His work so far has focused on getting the core gossipsub infrastructure and APIs functioning between nodes, and its at the testing and debugging stage.

Edit:
Some interesting additional reading on the topic;
