Announcing Verus v1.2.9-2 - MANDATORY UPDATE WITH PROTOCOL UPGRADE SCHEDULED JUST FOR CHIPS AND ALL TESTNET CHAINS ON MARCH 12th, 5PM UTC. VRSC MAINNET AND ALL OTHER PBAAS CHAINS WILL ACTIVATE THIS UPDATE MARCH 31st 5PM UTC UPDATE YOUR NODES TO v1.2.9-2 OR GREATER FOR CHIPS VERUS BEFORE MARCH 12TH, 5PM 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/v1.2.9-2

GUI releases will be posted as soon as they are available
This release addresses a very unlikely cross-notarization bug discovered on the CHIPS chain, which requires a protocol upgrade to restore cross-chain notarizations. While this issue has not occurred on any other PBaaS chains, it is better for the entire network for this to be addressed for all chains.

Since we do not expect this issue to occur, we have scheduled activation on other chains in 3 weeks from this release. If you run a CHIPS or testnet node, please update as soon as possible. For all other mainnet chain nodes, please update to 1.2.9-2 before March 31st, 5PM UTC.
