The 1.5.8 release includes a refactor of the RoundChangeCertificate message's encoding/decoding mechanism within istanbul, dramatically reducing its payload size during worst-case round change scenarios. This allows preprepare messages to respect the boundaries of RLP max message size (16MB) and p2p max message size (10MB).
This change breaks compatibility in the istanbul consensus between validators, but can be released in a rolling fashion without major issues.
