Parity 1.8.4 applies fixes for Proof-of-Authority networks and schedules the Kovan-Byzantium hard-fork.

  • The Kovan testnet will fork on block 5067000 at Thu Dec 14 2017 05:40:03 UTC.
    • This enables Byzantium features on Kovan.
    • This disables uncles on Kovan for stability reasons.
  • Proof-of-Authority networks are advised to set maximumUncleCount to 0 in a future maximumUncleCountTransition for stability reasons.
    • See the Kovan chain spec for an example.
    • New PoA networks created with Parity will have this feature enabled by default.

Furthermore, this release includes the ECIP-1039 Monetary policy rounding specification for Ethereum Classic, reduces the maximum Ethash-block timestamp drift to 15 seconds, and fixes various bugs for WASM and the RPC APIs.
