CLI RELEASE: https://github.com/VerusCoin/VerusCoin/releases/tag/v1.2.5-3
GUI RELEASE: https://github.com/VerusCoin/Verus-Desktop/releases/tag/v1.2.5-3

GUI TESTNET RELEASE: https://github.com/VerusCoin/Verus-Desktop/releases/tag/v1.2.5-3-testnet

Addresses an issue discovered by community member @F0rked that prevents some currencies that are in a blockchain definition from being sent off of PBaaS chains, although they can be sent to them from VRSC. For example, although vETH is part of the vARRR chain definition and can be sent to vARRR, if you do send vETH to vARRR right now, you will need to wait until this update activates to send it back to VRSC.

Needless to say, we do not recommend that you do send vETH to vARRR, and we do not see this happening to any significant degree, but to avoid any unreasonable delay in people being able to move their own funds across chains, we have opted to schedule this update for 2 weeks from now, which is a time when core people will be available, rather than wait until January of next year. v1.2.5-3 Verus Desktop in native mode also includes new support for the updated application login protocol with VerusID on desktop using deep links. We expect this will be useful for developers as well as those who prefer to login to Verus apps with their native desktop rather than mobile phones. Please be sure to update as soon as possible.
