macOS's current run preferences are:

1. Run only apps from the App Store

2. Run apps from the App Store or signed by a Developer ID

3. Run all apps (a hidden setting)

The default is 2 and you can achieve 3 (even when 2 is selected) by right-clicking and selecting Open on first-launch.

This change relates only to 2. "signed by a Developer ID" is being replaced by "signed and notarized by a Developer ID". This change applies immediately to developers who have never released a Developer ID app and will apply to all Developer ID apps in a future release of macOS.

From a user's perspective, this is a technical change that makes no difference. From a developer's perspective, it's a new, mandatory step in your deployment pipeline but otherwise not a major issue.
