I know some of you are eagerly waiting for the new release. However remember both peercoin and primecoin are handled as mission critical software so there is a high standard of testing involved. The release candidate of v0.4 has completed testing. I will cut the release candidate tomorrow and then official build will be started.

v0.4 upgrade schedule has been fixed as following:

Release candidate for distribution - this week (expect 2~3 days)
2014-MAR-24 Testnet upgrade deadline and testnet protocol switch
2014-APR-05 Official v0.4 release for distribution
2014-MAY-05 v0.4 upgrade deadline and network protocol switch

v0.4 release includes UI usability features, protocol adjustment for possible future p2pool support and bug fixes. Upgrade is mandatory.

Thanks for your support and have fun

I really appreciate Sunny's careful and conservative approach to the new version. I just wish he had also included cold-locking. I guess we'll have to wait unitl 0.5. I'll try to be patient

Great news! I will do minting as soon as v0.4 is released.
