Announcing Verus v1.2.5-1 - MANDATORY UPDATE INCLUDING PROTOCOL CHANGE, SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 7TH, 6PM UTC ON MAINNET AND IMMEDIATELY ON TESTNET UPDATE YOUR NODES TO v1.2.5-1 OR GREATER FOR VERUS AND ALL PBaaS CHAINS BEFORE NOVEMBER 7TH, 6PM UTC TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF YOUR NODE FALLING OUT OF SYNC WITH THE MAIN CHAIN

CLI RELEASE: https://github.com/VerusCoin/VerusCoin/releases/tag/v1.2.5-1
GUI RELEASE: https://github.com/VerusCoin/Verus-Desktop/releases/tag/v1.2.5-1

GUI TESTNET RELEASE: https://github.com/VerusCoin/Verus-Desktop/releases/tag/v1.2.5-1-testnet
v1.2.5-1 includes a fix to address minor basket disruptions caused by an attacker, who has been attempting to game conversions by creating small conversions at rounding boundaries, resulting in them losing fees and having no success. Until v1.2.5-1 activates, we can use auto-arbitrage, as we did this time, to clear any disruptions, should there be any. After November 7th at 6PM UTC when the protocol changes activate, including the basket disruption fix and the identity referral change that was previously scheduled for January 15th, all protocol changes will be active in the protocol. Please update as soon as possible.
