[ANN] [PPC] PPCoin 0.2.1 Released

[Sunny King]

Official release build is now available http://www.ppcoin.org/ (via sourceforge)

What's in 0.2.1 release:

• Fix checkwallet/repairwallet command to not generate false report of wallet problems.
• Checkpoint policy change to try to protect 6-confirmations for consecutive proof-of-stake blocks. This change is to help merchants with existing 6-confirmation rule for Bitcoin, during the initial phase of ppcoin.
• Various other fixes and minor improvements.

This release is not a mandatory upgrade. However if you want to be able to use the checkwallet/repairwallet commands please upgrade to this release.

Upgrade instructions:

To upgrade from 0.2.0:
1) Before upgrade, you must first backup your wallet:
ppcoind backupwallet <destination_backup_wallet_name>
2) Note your balance/newmint/stake numbers and shutdown ppcoin
ppcoind stop
3) Download 0.2.1 and unpack/install.
4) Start up ppcoind normally.
5) Use getinfo to confirm your ppcoind version is now 'v0.2.1ppc-beta'.
6) Verify your balance/newmint/stake numbers are the same as before the upgrade.

Cheers!

is this the qt version ?

qt support is not yet planned as my hands are still full with work on the daemon. There are a few gui programs provided by the community already so users who need to use gui can choose from one of the community provided programs.
