Parity v1.9.0 "Velocity" (2018-01-25)

We are happy to announce our newest Parity 1.9 release. Among others, it enables the following features:

  • It integrates the fully reworked Parity Wallet and DApps browser (a.k.a. "UI 2.0", #6819).
  • It enables devp2p snappy compression (#6683).
  • AuRa Proof-of-Authority chains now disable uncles by default (#7006). Existing PoA chains can go through a "maximum uncle count transition" to achieve more stability (#7196).
  • Added Expanse's Byzantium hard-fork (#7463).
  • Added support for Ellaism chain (#7222).

Further, users upgrading from 1.8 should acknowledge the following changes:

  • Fixed DELEGATECALL's from/to field (#7568).
  • Set zero nonce and gas price for calls by default (#6954).
  • Create pending blocks with all transactions from the queue (#6942).
  • Remove RPC parameter leniency now that Mist formats correctly (#6651). Parity stops accepting decimal-formatted block numbers and stops parsing the empty string as empty bytes.
  • Public nodes do not support the user interface anymore. If you are running a public node, please stay on the 1.8 branch of the stable releases.

Additional noteworthy changes:

  • ethstore and ethkey have been significantly improved (#6961):
    • ethstore now supports brute forcing pre-sale wallets given a password list for recovery.
    • ethkey now supports multi-threaded generation of prefix-matching addresses.
    • ethkey now supports prefix-matching brain wallets.
    • ethkey now supports brain-wallets recovery-phrases lookup. This helps to find a correct phrase if you know the address you want to get yet you made a typo backing the phrase up, or forgot a word.
