Mandatory update - Fork on block 1,450,000

Future block time is being limited to 10 minutes ahead of the current time, this will then be consistent with the past block time which is limited to 10 minutes. Currently future block time is limited to two hours, the result is that if a block is set two hours in the future no other block can be created until it gets to 10 minutes before that block with the future time set.

Old clients will continue to follow the chain created by updated clients but will also follow chains that break the above rule after the fork height, where new clients will not. With the majority of staking power on the new chain combined with checkpoint sync old clients will ultimately follow the chain verified by new clients. However it is still strongly recommended to upgrade to the new client to always remain on the chain with the updated time rule.
