Is it only me, or consequence of new wallet, that the blockchain is stuck at 17901???

I also see that blokchain stuck at 17901, but in my wallet right now 17943.
A hardcoded checkpoint has been implemented at 17901.
Just sit tight - the new wallet is currently being tested. Upon release I must ask all of you to ditch all older versions permanently - including that nasty green wallet. All will be useless upon release of the new wallet.
All signs are positive so far so just sit tight.
