What should the current linux daemon/-qt versions be, please? I cloned the latest from the github this afternoon and compiled and its version is 1.9.4.1
According to this announcement thread there's a mandatory update at v1.9.6.0.
Is there somewhere else to get linux binaries?
1.9.4.1 is the latest Linux source. I think it has all necessary elements though (minus CloakTrade) so you're okay until they release PoSA and linux binaries for that.
