On Friday, the soft fork&#8217;s release (updated Geth 1.4.8) dubbed DAO Wars was published on GitHub. The team also released Parity 1.2.0, so now the final decision is up to the miners.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Parity is out &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kgcCHuM2Ry\">https:\/\/t.co\/kgcCHuM2Ry<\/a> and supports the temporary soft fork by default!
