Parity Ethereum 2.1.0-beta

Parity-Ethereum 2.1.0-beta is released! Look at this!

Important notices:

• This release moves the 2.1 track of Parity-Ethereum to beta.
• This release contains a low-severity issue with the web-sockets ports. #9545
• This release resolves a potential network fragmentation issue. #9526
• With this release, all versions of Parity Ethereum 1.x prior to 2.0 reached end of life.
• Users are urged to upgrade to 2.0.5-stable or 2.1.0-beta.

Further changes worth highlighting:

• Generalized blockReward and difficultyBombDelays config (#9480): This removes eip649* parameters from chain specs and allows blockReward to accept multi. Please review your chain-specs!
• Implement EIP234 block_hash for eth_getLogs (#9256): If block_hash and from_block/to_block present, return error. This also changes eth_getLogs to return error if any of block_hash/from_block/to_block cannot be found.
• The default gas_floor_target was increased to 8_000_000, the default gas_cap to 10_000_000.
• Light clients provide the actual account for eth_coinbase RPC (#9383). Note, this behavior is different from the full client where we return the 0x0 address if no accounts are found!
• Light servers give free credits for reserved peers (#9448): When connecting to a reserved peers in light client, assign free credits to them. This fixes the scenario where a home server is running a full node, and another light client connects to the full node as a reserved peer.
• Multi-threaded snapshot creation (#9239): to speed up the generation of snapshots on disk, this can be parallelized now. By default N/2 CPU cores are being used. Use --snapshot-threads flag to customize the number of threads.
• Remove all dapp permissions related settings (#9120). This completely removes dapp permission settings from AccountProvider and JSON-RPC: In JSON-RPC, all available accounts are returned, regardless of the origin; previously we return accounts based on dapps policy. It's not possible to set a "default account" (as for dapps) any more; this is now always the first account in the available account list.
• Remove unused --tx_queue_gas parameter (#9153). Please use parity --help to learn about available transaction queue strategies.

Binaries will be provided once we figure out how Gitlab works.

    • Patching this is important only for chains that have blocks that can fit more than 4k transactions (over 86M block gas limit)

Parity-Ethereum 2.0.0-beta "Ethereum"

This is the Parity-Ethereum//v2.0.0-beta release, code-named "Ethereum", YOLO!

Please note, Parity-Ethereum//v2.0.0 comes with some breaking changes that might be interrupting your usual workflows. Please mind them before upgrading:

• The Parity client is now called Parity-Ethereum to distinguish it from other software we provide, such as Parity-Bitcoin and Parity-Polkadot (#9052).
• The public node and the user interface (a.k.a. "Parity Wallet") are completely removed from the Parity-Ethereum//v2.0.0 client (#8758, #8783, #8641). Users interested running a Parity Wallet, check out the stand-alone UI application.
• The DApps subsystem was completely removed from the client (#9017, #9107). Again, use the standalone wallet if you wish to continue working with them.
• Windows and MacOS versions are not available as installer anymore and the system trays were removed (#8778). If you desire to run Parity-Ethereum on Windows or MacOS, you still can get the binaries from our mirrors. Furthermore, MacOS users are encouraged to use our homebrew tap.
• Linux versions are not available as deb-/rpm-packages anymore (#8887). Communities are encouraged to provide their own packages or maintain their own repositories, such as Arch Linux does for instance.
• MD5-checksums are completely replaced by SHA256-checksums (#8884). This is also reflected on our homepage by now.
• Deprecated, removed, or replaced CLI-options are hidden from client --help to further discourage their usage (#8967).

Additional noteworthy changes to the client:

• Tracing of precompiled contracts when the transfer value is not zero (#8486)
• Parity-Ethereum as a library now provides APIs for running full and light nodes and a C interface (#8412). Shared crates are now available in Parity-Common (#9083).
• The Morden database and keys are now moved to a ./Morden subdirectory instead of ./test which is by default used by Ropsten (#8621).
• Adding support for having an on-chain contract calculating the block rewards (#8419).
• Enforcing warp-only synchronization with --warp-barrier [blocknumber] flag (#8228).
• Adding a fork-choice and meta-data framework suitable for implementing Casper (#8401).
• Returning an error if RLP-size of a transaction exceeds a 300kB limit (#8473).
• Warp-sync is now resumable by keeping the downloaded chunks between client restarts. Also, it seeds downloaded snapshots for other nodes (#8544).
• The developer chain --chain dev now contains Byzantium features, this breaks existing developer chains (#8717).
• The EIP150, EIP160 and EIP161 forks are now to be specified in common params section of a chain-spec file instead of the Ethash params to enable these features on non-proof-of-work chains (#8614). Please update your chain specs.
• Allowing to disable local-by-default for transactions with new configurations (#8882).
• Never drop local transactions from different senders (#9002).
• Optimize pending transactions filter and fix ethstats reporting of pending transactions (#9026).
• Add separate database directory for light client allowing to run full and light nodes at the same time (#9064).

If you are upgrading directly from versions 1.10.9 or earlier, please note important changes to our transaction-queue implementation, namely:

• The pool now limits transactions per-sender (see --tx-queue-per-sender), local transactions also have to obey that limit. Consider increasing the limit via CLI-flag when running benchmarks or sending a lot of transactions at once.
• In case the pool is full, transactions received over the network, but originating from accounts that you have private keys for might not get accepted to the pool any more with higher priority. Consider running with larger pool size or submitting the transactions directly on the node via eth_sendRawTransaction.
