* Add changelog for 1.8.10 stable

* Add changelog for 1.9.3 beta

* Released 1.9.3 ahead of schedule :)

* removed redundant Bloom conversions

* fixed broken tests

* kovan fork code

* introduce ethcore level vm_factory and let it fail

* fix json tests

* wasmcosts as option

* review changes

* wasm costs in parser

* fix evm tests

* review fixes

* fix test

* remove redundant json field

* removed redundant PodAccount::new method

* fixed failing test

* Add validate_non_zero function

It's used to validate that a Spec's uint field used as a divisor is not zero.

* Add deserialize_with to gas_limit_bound_divisor

Prevents panics due to divide-by-zero on the gas_limit_bound_divisor
field.

* Add deserialize_with to difficulty_bound_divisor

Prevents panics due to divide-by-zero on the difficulty_bound_divisor
field.

* Add validate_optional_non_zero function

Used to validate Option<Uint> divisor fields.

* Use deserialize_with on optional divisor fields.

* Add #[serde(default)] attribute to divisor fields

When using `#[serde(deserialize_with)]`, `#[serde(default)]` must be specified so that missing
fields can be deserialized with the deserializer for `None`.

it is necessary to test

* Pending transactions subscription.

* Pending transactions Pub-Sub

* Add light client support.

* Remove redundant Ok

* removed redundant otry! macro from ethcore

* removed redundant otry! macro from parity

* Make block generator easier to use

* applied review suggestions

* rename BlockMetadata -> BlockOptions

* removed redundant uses of blockchain generator and genereator.next().unwrap() calls

Enable difficulty bomb defusion at block:
 - 5900000 on Ethereum Classic mainnet,
 - 2300000 on morden testnet.

* aura: broadcast empty step message instead of sealing empty block

* aura: add empty_step messages to seal

* aura: include parent_hash in empty step message

* aura: verify received empty step messages

* aura: verify empty step messages in block

* aura: fix dead lock on empty_steps

* aura: fix EmptyStep Encodable

* aura: take number of empty steps into account in chain score

* aura: use empty step signers for finality

* aura: add empty "empty step" messages to seal when reading from spec

* aura: fix EmptyStep rlp encoding

* aura: use Vec<u8> instead of Bytes

* aura: fix block empty step verification

* Update .gitlab-ci.yml

fix lint

* aura: fix accumulation of empty step signatures for finality

* aura: include empty steps in seal signature

* aura: configurable max number of empty steps

* engine: pass block header to seal_fields method

This is necessary to make the number of seal fields dynamic,
e.g. activating a transition on a certain block number that changes
the seal.

* aura: add transition to enable empty step messages

* aura: clear old empty step messages on verify_block_external

* aura: ignore empty step messages from the future

* aura: report skipped primaries when empty steps are not enabled

* aura: fix tests

* aura: report misbehavior

* aura: add tests for rolling finality with multiple signatures

* engine: fix validator set test

In this test the block validation wasn't failing because the block was in the
future (expected failure) but was instead failing because the author of the
block isn't the expected authority. Since we added reporting of blocks produced
by the wrong authority this test started failing.

* aura: reward all the authors of empty step messages

* aura: fix reward attribution for new blocks

* aura: add tests for empty steps broadcasting and inclusion in blocks

* aura: reduce size of empty step messages in seal
