Bitcoin-qt 11.1 Obsolete??

[os2sam]

My Bitcoin client 11.1 is telling me it's obsolete and to upgrade.  Why is the relatively current client obsolete?

It shouldn't be telling you that. There is no current warning out there. The only thing that I can think of that would cause this warning is that somehow you ended up on a fork of the blockchain.

How would I go about verifying that?  And what should I do about it you think?

Edit: I shut down the client and restarted it and now the warning message is no longer there.  Doesn't give me warm fuzzy feeling though.

I thought only a very small number of devs had the means of sending a warning like that?

Check the highest block you have and the block hashes. Make sure that they match the blocks at block explorers like blockr.io blocktrail.com and blockchain.info. If it doesn't something is wrong and you will need to resync. Otherwise, I have no idea.

Edit: just found out why. Read this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/363szi/bitcoin_core_09x_error_message_warning_this/. It still applies to this. Upgrade to 0.11.2 since the new blocks are version 4 blocks to enable OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY. Those v4 blocks are only supported with 0.11.2 and 0.10.4 as of now.

I ran "getblockchaininfo" and the last block and the hash matched what blockchain.info had.  But this is after restarting my client and now the error is gone.
Thanks,

Hmm.  That is talking about .9.5 but I guess it would pertain to my 11.1 version too.  But why has the warning disappeared now after the restart, I wonder?
Thanks again,
