Parity Ethereum v2.6.5-beta is a patch release that adds block numbers for activating the Istanbul hardfork on mainnet, as well as a large number of various bugfixes, QoL changes, some code cleanup/refactoring and other miscellaenous changes.

This release removes legacy aliases for the mainnet. If you specify --chain homestead, --chain frontier or --chain byzantium, this will need to be changed to one of: --chain eth, --chain ethereum, --chain foundation or --chain mainnet.

This release includes important changes to how snapshots are produced. The size of the Ethereum account state means that producing a snapshot takes a long while; most nodes today are not able to finish before the relevant state is pruned. Starting with v2.6.5, pruning is paused while a snapshot is underway, hopefully fixing the current dearth of recent snapshots. The downside to this is that memory usage goes up while a snapshot is produced.
