Hello,
can you please clarify the instructions to transfer over to the new wallet?  So I just do the following:
1. Exit my wallet.
2.  Give it a few minutes to completely shut down.
3. Download new version of wallet.
4.  Open the new wallet.

Will my coins automatically show up after step #4?
Do I have to transfer or replace the wallet.dat file?
Do I have to update the config file?

Thank you for helping me with the above 3 questions.  I want to transition without any problems.  :-)

Other questions:
1.  When will staking rewards end on the version of wallet that is now being replaced?
2.  When will the explorer reflect transactions and rewards?  (The explorer has stopped posting transactions since Feb 8.)
3.  Is there a new explorer?  If so can you please update the link on Coinmarketcap.com?
4.  Is there any roadmap for 2018? 

Thank you for anyone who can help by answering these questions.
