The golang implementation (geth) has, since v1.5.0, relied on the mixHash field to be present in the JSON representation of a block to calculate and verify the block hash.
See ethereum/go-ethereum#3230 for the discussion.
Eventhough this was not specified in the Ethereum JSON-RPC protocol this was recognized (openethereum/parity-ethereum#3148) by the Parity team and subsequently implemented and merged (openethereum/parity-ethereum#3169) into the Parity client.
When the websocket subprovider was implemented #189 it omitted the mixHash which results in the following error when using geth's ethclient.
This pull request adds the mixHash to the JSON output.
