Coinbiz analysis is spot on. Why would waves team indicate a major (v3 to v4) upgrade on a minor/non-breaking change.
Twiggy - these types of questions are not FUD and it would help if they were addressed.
So. What do you want to hear about it? Why changed the client version?
Well, that the code changed for a new release does not mean it has to be "lot of code", sometimes there are "small input with big difference". Like the fee, when increasing the fee this is a non-backward compatible change, therefore we increased version from 0.3 to 0.4 (also the optional 1W)
The main changes in the new version of the client had been told repeatedly

Please do not forget about that the Waves wallet it is a light client (with basic functions at this time).
More features will surely available in the next releases.

At the same time, code for full node is still in the development stage (at least about 2 weeks).
Once the source code for a full node will be available to the public, then welcome to do some investigation.

Thx @prix
Spot on. I had read the original analysis as a self contained Pull Request. It was not.
