I apologize everyone for the delay, this would be my fault. Things seem to compile correctly and the wallet even attempts to sync, but hangs there. This is without version incrementation, mind you.

That makes no sense... Why would you NOT incrament the version number on such a major change, or even a minor change?
At-least append a note or something to indicate that the download is "not the old version"... The purpose for version numbers is to indicate a change forward. The purpose for a major version change is to stress the importance of "need to update".
If this is a needed update, it needs a new major version number. (Especially if it has any checkpoints and modifications to reward.)
This is almost more disturbing than the actual update itself.
