Per the PM I sent, the versioning has not changed yet, this was an oversight that will be corrected in the next major update coming in the near future.
The links have been updated to the new source, where are you seeing the old link?
Some of the block explorers are still on the old blockchain, they are provided by individuals that need to update. Always use the blockchain at http://162.243.66.131:2750/chain/Zedcoin (which is also the addnode).
Which exchanges are you referring to as not trading ZED?
If you are stuck at 97000 with the new source, you are doing something wrong.

Before stating your negative opinion on a public forum, maybe ask questions first, we're happy to answer here or privately.

Thanks!
