New Datacoin release:

Thank you Mr Higgins!
Slightly jumping the gun there, I'm not ready to announce the release.

Users of Windows and OSX 0.8 clients should back up their wallets and save a copy of the datadir directory before attempting an upgrade. The new 0.16.3 client won't load 0.8 wallets, you'll need to import your privkeys by hand. I'm still testing whether the Crossverse 0.15.99 wallets will load.

(I have to run the 0.8 and the 0.15.99 wallets on an Ubuntu 18.04 VM because neither can be successfully compiled on contemporary Linux distros due to issues with non-backward compatibility of support libraries).

Cheers

Graham
