1.4.11 Source Release

Geth ETC release/1.4.11 source is now available for early use and testing, please create a detailed report if any issues are found.

This release has solved all reported issues relating to blockchain syncing, now the client is capable of of both detecting peers and disconnecting ETF peers connected for the purpose of blockchain syncing. The associated geth ETF 1.4.11 release has removed support for both [eth/61] and [eth/62] protocols since ETF clients can only fully operate with clients released after the hard-fork. Since ETC clients are able to fully operate with existing clients on the network, only [eth/61] has been deprecated, leaving [eth/62] and [eth/63].

Geth ETC is now capable of loading configurations relating all forks associated to the active genesis block and defining support for either side of a network split. Additional steps will be taken to detect network splits, and optionally manage and switch between either side of a network split with utilizing configurations instead of the existing implementation of hard coded parameters and hard-coded network split enforcement within protocol handshaking.

The geth ETC release/1.4.11 signed builds will be made available if there are no major issues are reported in the next 24-48 hours. This release will be followed by the first 'official' release of Mist using the 1.4.11
