This release fixes the consensus failure that occurred at block 2686351.

Geth was failing to revert empty account deletions when the transaction causing the
deletions of empty accounts ended with an an out-of-gas exception. An additional issue
was found in Parity, where the Parity client incorrectly failed to revert empty account
deletions in a more limited set of contexts involving out-of-gas calls to precompiled
contracts; the new Geth behaviour matches Parity's, and empty accounts will cease to be a
source of concern in general in about one week once the state clearing process finishes.
