GuncoinInfo is away at the moment with limited Internet but has told me to release the v1.3.0.0 client when it is ready, when he gets back he will update the original post.
Guncoin 1.3 is ready, this release is based on the Bitcoin 0.10 codebase and brings many updates to the coin, the most notable of which I have put on the Guncoin v1.3.0.0 release page linked below.
https://github.com/guncoin/guncoin/releases/tag/v1.3.0.0There is going to be a block version change on block 840,000 which is in roughly three weeks time, the 1.1 client only accepts version 2 blocks so will end up hard forking on that block. If you are on Guncoin 1.1 then you must upgrade to 1.3 before block 840,000 or you will end up on a different chain and be unable to send coins to the 1.2/1.3 network. Currently 64% of people have upgraded to 1.2 and will be unaffected by the change in block version.
Block version 4 brings in BIP66 Strict DER Encoding and the more interesting BIP65 OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY. BIP66 was back ported to the Guncoin 1.2 release but to make use of BIP65 you will need to update. These BIPs only become active once 75% of the last 1,000 blocks are version 4, at 95% version 2 blocks will be rejected by the network.
Solo miners please note that getwork has been removed from Guncoin 1.3 and that NeoScrypt miners with getblocktemplate support need to be used instead, for AMD cards please update NSGminer to 0.9.4.
https://github.com/ghostlander/nsgminer/releases/tag/nsgminer-v0.9.4nVidia miners can no longer use ccminer as it does not have getblocktemplate support and need to use hsrminer instead though I'm waiting on confirmation from people as to how well it works, please give feedback here.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2565979.0Pool miners can carry on as normal.
Also note the following RPC access control changes
