WARN:
while we release this fix / release we are in the process of testing its stability - at the moment we notice the node hanging one of our test machine and we are checking whether it is related to some of the change - you will be better off staying on 1.3.9 if it works for you and only upgrade to 1.4.0 if 1.3.9 is failing

• fixes an issue where block 1920000 requests were causing an exception and connection loss with some peers
• fixes an issue where new blocks where not validated properly outside of an initials sync
  (this fix is related to the issue that was also affecting Parity nodes)
• decreases the frequency of "Staying on sync mode" messages to every 3 seconds
