* appending short rlp lists (0...55 bytes) is 25% faster
* RlpStream does not use bytes module, nor trait Stream
* removed unused code from rlp module
* compiling ethcore-util with new rlp serialization
* compiling parity with new rlp serialization
* fixed compiling ethcore-light with new rlp serialization
* fixed compiling ethsync with new rlp serialization
* removed redundant comment, print
* removed redundant double-space
* replace usage of WriteBytesExt with ByteOrder
* remove old lint silencer
* dispatch requests only to peers with higher TD
* dynamic target for sync rounds
* use round pivots instead of frames, fix test
* fix total difficulty calculation for test client
* fix broken reorg algorithm
* fork test, fix ancestor search
* owning views of blockchain data
* port blockchain and client traits to owning views
* fix ethcore tests
* use strong headers and bodies in ethcore_light
* port ethsync to use owning views
* port rpc to owning views
* port parity informant and blockchain export
* Allow sync reorg up to pruning history size
* Peer difficulty tracking
* Abort downloading block if received with NewBlock
* Set pruning history to 1200
* Renamed history size field
* possible fix for #3686
* queue: simplify conclusion, don't block on joining
* queue: park verifiers with timeout to prevent race
* more robust verification loop
* queue: re-introduce wait for verifier joining
* The front-end for each hard-fork, also EIP-160.
* Address EIP161 a/c
* Include EIP-161b
* EIP-161 part d.
* Fix test build.
* Fix one test, add another.
* Fix use of bloom & renaming.
* Initial groundwork for EIP-155
* Fix minor bug.
* Fix all tests finally.
* Rest of EIP-155.
* Add tests for EIP-155 algorithm.
Update transaction tests validation.
* Minor reformat.
* Address grumbles.
* Remove unused code.
* Fix SUICIDE gas mechanism and add consensus tests.
* Remove commented code.
* Set Frontier hardfork block number
* Fix warning.
* Transaction tests,
* no longer export action_params
* remove transaction, header, receipt re-rexports from common
* remove env_info and builtins re-exports from common
* remove everything but util export from common
* replace common usages with util, remove module
* add a prelude module for ethcore-bigint
* move block queue to own module, a couple readability changes
* make block queue generic over verifiable data
also fixes heap size calculation
* make block queue into a more generic verification queue
* some module reoganization
* implement header queue
* clean up verification error messages
Closes#2213
Omit transaction and receipt roots from abridged block.
No longer use RLP compression.
Make ordered_trie_root generic over an iterator to save an allocation.
Breaks snapshot format backwards compatibility (with other 1.4 snapshots -- it's already been broken with 1.3).
Documentation will need updating
