A new wallet? Hardfork around the corner?
Great news!
I'm guessing we'll have to sync to the new blockchain, right?

If you were already running tekcoin, I only updated my wallet with the 2.4.0.0 version and it was good to go, a complete redownload of the blockchain was not necessary.
As long as you update before the hard fork on april 6th, you're good.
