v1.8.3 Release Notes

With Klaytn v1.8.3, transactions are sorted in chronological order according to the received time on each node when blocks are generated or transactions are propagated. Before, the transactions were sorted by gas price. But since Klaytn's gas price is fixed, they were basically without order. With this version change, Klaytn nodes will process transactions on a First-Come, First-Serve basis.
