Spec json is invalid: missing field gasLimitBoundDivisor at Parity 1.8.0-beta

[tonywang5671]

Hello all......I am new to Parity and try to learn follow the tutorial at Github but encounter problem. Looking forward to get some help and many thanks!

I'm running:

• Parity version: Parity 1.8.0-beta
• Operating system: Linux Ubuntu 16.04
• And installed: via binaries......$ bash <(curl https://get.parity.io -kL)

I follow the instruction form https://github.com/paritytech/parity/wiki/Demo-PoA-tutorial and have problem "Spec json is invalid: missing field gasLimitBoundDivisor" when try to start Parity by "parity --chain demo-spec.json -d /tmp/parity0 --port 30300 --jsonrpc-port 8540 --ui-port 8180 --ws-port 8540 --jsonrpc-apis web3,eth,net,personal,parity,parity_set,traces,rpc,parity_accounts" command

Move registrar, gasLimitBoundDivisor, and eip155Transition from engine (Ethash/AuthorityRound/etc.) to general params section. See #6591
