Version 1.4.0.0 mandatory release
This release is MANDATORY due to the consensus change in ProgPoW (Proof of Work) mining reduction of the DAG size to allow GPU miners with lower RAM sizes to mine.
This will take place at block 2,100,000, expected the 21st of January 2023, or possibly on the 20th of January.
If you came here looking for v1.3.0.0 to update over v1.2.4.1, you may install 1.4.0.0 instead.
If you have already installed v.1.3.0.0 you still need to install v1.4.0.0 by mid-January anyway. This is because it is necessary for all Veil users and services to have wallet network nodes that agree with each other as to which submitted blocks are valid.
If you are using a "light wallet" such as Zelcore, it is the light wallet provider's responsibility to update their back-end infrastructure to support the new Veil version. You don't need to do anything. Your Veil coins are safe on the Veil blockchain.
This wallet also serves as an update directly instead of v1.3.0.0 from the 1.2.x wallet, as it contains the same code that is in mandatory version 1.3.0.0, meaning that you can go directly from version 1.2 to 1.4. Version 1.3 and this 1.4 extends Proof of Work mining preventing it from ending at block two million, expected on the 12th of November 2022. Proof of Work mining will now continue throughout Veil's future until the block subsidy ends and the Supply of Veil reaches its maximum, which is expected in January 2038, after which Veil nodes will be incentivised by transaction fees.
Binary files are being built, and will be added shortly. If the macOS DMG version is not yet available, please know that you can simply put the veil-qt file in the same place (in your Applications folder or other preferred folder), and even rename it to Veil-Qt.app if it makes you more comfortable.
