"Block difficulty" is the difficulty listed in a block's header, which in the testnet can sometimes be min-difficulty (if time-since-last-block is too large). "Network difficulty" is the difficulty that the network was trying to satisfy at a particular block height. In mainnet this is always equal to the difficulty of the solved block for that height, but in testnet the network difficulty is derived from the last non-min-difficulty block difficulty. This commit fixes the RPC APIs that are intended to show network difficulty, so that on testnet they don't sometimes drop to 1.0, confusing users. Closes #1181

Where do I begin?
We have a guide for joining the public testnet: https://github.com/zcash/zcash/wiki/Public-Alpha-Guide
What is Zcash?
Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Based on Bitcoin's code, it intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy and anonymity through a sophisticiated zero-knowledge proving scheme which preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata.
Zcash is unfinished and highly experimental. Use at your own risk.
Participation in the Zcash project is subject to a Code of Conduct.
