Quick update here, and most relevant if you own a tribe that specifies `beneficiaries_reward_percentage`. 

The way it has been working up until now is that it would first take out `beneficiaries_reward_percentage` and `author_reward_percentage` out of the pending post rewards, and the rest would be split among curators.

The new way it works is that we first do take out `author_reward_percentage` of the pending post rewards, and split this among curators. *Then* we apply `beneficiaries_reward_percentage` to the what is set aside from the author, and after that, if `beneficiaries` are specified on the post, we apply those percentages to what's left.

The reason we are doing this change now is that tribes such as `LEO` , `NEOXAG`, and `STEM` are enabling an option to disable the `beneficiaries_reward_percentage` if the post was posted with their corresponding apps. However, what this would mean is that if the post was not made with the app, the `beneficiaries_reward_percentage` eats out of the portion that would have gone to curators had the post been created with the app.

For example:

`LEO ` had 45% `author_reward_percentage` and 10% `beneficiaries_reward_percentage`. Then here is what happens for a post that is posted with the app

|Role| Percentage (Non-App)| Percentage (With App)
|-|-|-|
|Author| 45%|50%|
|Curators| 45% |50%|
|Burn | 10%| 0%|

With this change, we will change `LEO` to be 50% `author_reward_percentage` and 20% `beneficiaries_reward_percentage`. Here is what that looks like:

|Role| Percentage (Non-App)| Percentage (With App)
|-|-|-|
|Author| 40%|50%|
|Curators| 50% |50%|
|Burn | 10%| 0%|

Other tribes that have `beneficiaries_reward_percentage` will be adjusted accordingly to preserve the existing split. Please reach out if you need further adjustments.
