Changes

Compared with the EIP-150 revision of the yellow paper, equation (39) should be replaced by:

if (block.number < pause_block) {
    explosion = (block.number / 100000) - 2    
} else if (block.number < cont_block) {
    explosion = fixed_diff
} else { // block.number >= cont_block    
    explosion = (block.number / 100000) - delay - 2
}

block_diff = parent_diff
      + parent_diff / 2048 * max(1 - (block_timestamp - parent_timestamp) / 10, -99)
      + int(2**explosion)

Using constants:

pause_block = 3000000 //15 Jan 2017
cont_block = 5000000 //15 Dec 2017
delay = (cont_block - pause_block) / 100000 //20
fixed_diff = (pause_block / 100000) - 2 //28
