Dear @kovan-validators ,
Parity has released version 2.6.1 of their client, we suggest to update parity binaries on the nodes of Kovan network.
POA has updated its validator and bootnodes and didn’t find any new issues so far.

You can use our ansible playbook to run the update - on step 2 you would need to set GENESIS_BRANCH to "kovan" .
Please post questions/issues below or in the private support forum if you have any.
Thank you
