Everything worked OK with the 0.4.1 update, but it was just a first stage of a 2-step update that couldn't be done in single step to avoid risk of forking.

Second phase was not planned so quickly, but there was another issue found buy no one else than the PoS Creator : Sunny King.
Thanks to His help and support, we were able to fix potential instability issue in the future.
It was originally found and fixed by Sunny King in Novacoin, and was already implemented in BitBar, but He found we needed a different approach.

0.4.2 :

- Sunny Kings's fix for P2Pool blocks modifier desynchronisation issue
- Second stage reworking  of alert system. Now updated.

This is not a hard fork update, it will work with the current one, BUT :

- There is a mandatory redownload of the blockchain, to make all of them identical.
- notify your favorite exchange and pool with this, potential desynchronisation block should not happen between them, to avoid doublespend's , just in case of super bad luck!
