April 4th: Automatic checkpointing introduced.

Update ASAP to v. 1.3.0.0

Why did you merge in code Auroracoin does not have the license to?

The following is taken directly from src/checkpointsync.cpp:

A perpetual use license of this advanced checkpoint technology is granted

the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, subject to the

   in all copies of source code distributions.

Feathercoin is waived from displaying the above copyright notice in

Does Auroracoin not respect the copyright owned by developers of different coins?

If you have received permission, why does the header not reflect this?
