## Parity [v1.11.7](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/releases/tag/v1.11.7) "Prosperity" (2018-07-17)

Parity 1.11.7 "Prosperity" is a bug-fix release to improve performance and stability that marks the 1.11 release track as `stable`. Among other fixes, this release significantly addresses peering and synchronization issues. If you experienced such issues before, upgrading is highly recommended. If you rely on old versions of Parity, check out the `old-stable-1.10` branch, cherry-pick fixes, and compile your binaries independently. There will be no official support for any versions prior to 1.11.7, however (EOL).

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`.

## Parity [v1.11.1](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/releases/tag/v1.11.1) (2018-05-15)

This is the Parity 1.11.1-beta release! Hurray!

Notable changes in reversed alphabetical order:

- TOOLING: **Whisper CLI** [#8201](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/pull/8201)
  - `whisper-cli` is a standalone tool to communicate with the Whisper protocol.
  - It provides functionality to specify `whisper-pool-size`, `port` and `address` to use.
  - All whisper RPC APIs are enabled and can be directly accessed.
- JSON-RPC API: **Return error in case eth_call returns VM errors** [#8448](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/pull/8448)
  - This changes the behaviors of `eth_call` to respect VM errors if any.
  - In case of `REVERT`, it will also return the reverted return data in hex format.
- ENGINES: **Block Reward Contract** [#8419](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/pull/8419)
  - The _AuRa_ PoA engine has now support for having a contract to calculate the block rewards.
  - The engine passes a list of benefactors and reward types to the contract which then returns a list of addresses and respective rewards.
- CORE: **Private Transactions** [#6422](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/pull/6422)
  - Parity now provides a private transactions system.
  - Please, check out our wiki to get an [overview and setup instructions](https://wiki.parity.io/Private-Transactions.html).
- CORE: **New Transaction Queue implementation** [#8074](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/pull/8074)
  - Verification is now done in parallel.
  - Previous queue had `O(1)` time to get pending set, but `O(n^2)` insertion time. And obviously insertion/removal happens much more often than retrieving the pending set (only for propagation and pending block building) Currently we have `O(n * log(senders))` pending set time (with cache) and `O(tx_per_sender)` (usually within `log(tx_per_sender)`) insertion time.
  - `Scoring` and `Readiness` are separated from the pool, so it's easier to customize them or introduce different definitions (for instance for [EIP-859](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/859) or private transactions, etc).
  - Banning removed, soft-penalization introduced instead: if transaction exceeds the limit other transactions from that sender get lower priority.
  - There is no explicit distinction between current and future transactions in the pool - `Readiness` determines that. Because of this we additionally remove `future` transactions that occupy the pool for long time.
- CONFIGURATION: **Warp-only sync with --warp-barrier [block-number] flag.** [#8228](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/pull/8228)
  - Enables warp-only sync in case `--warp-barrier [block-number]` is provided.
  - This avoids clients to warp to outdated snapshots that are too far away from the best block.
  - This avoids clients to fall back to normal sync if there are no recent snapshots available currently.
- CONFIGURATION: **Disable UI by default.** [#8105](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/pull/8105)
  - The user interface is now disabled by default. It still can be activated with the `--force-ui` flag.
  - To get the stand-alone Parity UI, please check the dedicated [releases page](https://github.com/parity-js/shell/releases).
- CONFIGURATION: **Auto-updater improvements** [#8078](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/pull/8078)
  - Added `--auto-update-delay` to randomly delay updates by `n` blocks. This takes into account the number of the block of the update release (old updates aren't delayed).
  - Added `--auto-update-check-frequency` to define the periodicity of auto-update checks in number of blocks.
  - This is an important improvement to ensure the network does not update all clients at the same time.
- CHAIN SPECS: **Enable WebAssembly and Byzantium for Ellaism** [#8520](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/pull/8520)
  - This activates the Ellaism Byzantium hardfork ([2018-0004-byzantium](https://github.com/ellaism/specs/blob/master/specs/2018-0004-byzantium.md)) at block `2_000_000`.
  - This enables the Wasm VM on Ellaism ([2018-0003-wasm-hardfork](https://github.com/ellaism/specs/blob/master/specs/2018-0003-wasm-hardfork.md)) at block `2_000_000`.
  - Please, upgrade your clients if you run an Ellaism configuration.
- CHAIN SPECS: **Dev chain - increase gasLimit to 8_000_000** [#8362](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/pull/8362)
  - This increases the default block gas limit on development chains to `8_000_000`.
  - Please note, this makes previous dev chain configurations incompatible.
- CHAIN SPECS: **Add MCIP-6 Byzyantium transition to Musicoin spec** [#7841](https://github.com/paritytech/parity/pull/7841)
  - This activates the Musicoin Byzantium hardfork ([MCIP-6](https://github.com/Musicoin/MCIPs/blob/master/MCIPS/mcip-6.md)) at block `2_222_222`.
  - Please, upgrade your clients if you run a Musicoin configuration.
