Parity 1.8.7 is the first stable release of the 1.8 channel. It includes various bug and stability fixes. Users on Kovan or other Aura-based networks are advised to upgrade as this release fixes an issue introduced with 1.8.6 and 1.7.12 that causes Proof-of-Authority nodes to stop synchronizing the chain.
The full list of included changes:
Parity 1.8.6 fixes a critical issue with the database eventually filling up user's disks. Upgrading is highly recommended as it will significantly improve your user experience. As a bonus, this release should enable users with slower hard-disk drives to catch up with the latest block again. Also, warp-sync performance was significantly improved. Please note, that the initial database compaction after upgrading might temporarily reduce the node's performance.
In addition to our gas price histogram, this version now allows you to dynamically set the default gas price as percentile from the last 100 blocks (it defaults to median: 50).
--gas-price-percentile=[PCT] Set PCT percentile gas price value from
last 100 blocks as default gas price
when sending transactions.
Last but not least, this release also fixes consensus issues with the Expanse chain enabling Byzantium. If you run Parity configured for Expanse, you might have to resync your chain after the upgrade.
The full list of included changes:
Parity 1.8.5 changes the default behavior of JSON-RPC CORS setting, detects same-key engine signers in Aura networks, and updates bootnodes for the Kovan and Foundation networks.
Note: The default value of --jsonrpc-cors option has been altered to disallow (potentially malicious) websites from accessing the low-sensitivity RPCs (viewing exposed accounts, proposing transactions for signing). Currently domains need to be whitelisted manually. To bring back previous behaviour run with --jsonrpc-cors all or --jsonrpc-cors http://example.com.

Parity 1.8.1 fixes several bugs with token balances, tweaks snapshot-sync, improves the performance of nodes with huge amounts of accounts and changes the Trezor account derivation path.
Important Note: The Trezor account derivation path was changed in this release (#6815) to always use the first account (m/44'/60'/0'/0/0 instead of m/44'/60'/0'/0). This way we enable compatibility with other Ethereum wallets supporting Trezor hardware-wallets. However, action is required before upgrading, if you have funds on your Parity Trezor wallet. If you already upgraded to 1.8.1, please downgrade to 1.8.0 first to recover the funds with the following steps:
If you don't want to downgrade or move your funds off your Trezor-device, you can also use the official Trezor application or other wallets allowing to select the derivation path to access the funds.
