Potential Hard Fork

This update will:

Reduce the  minimum fee from 0.1 to 0.001. This should resolve the high
fees issue people have been experiencing.

Make the retargets happen every 30 blocks (approximately 30 minute
intervals) from block 150,000. This should improve the current
rollercoaster situation which leads to massive swings in difficulty.

As this update constitutes a hard fork from block 150,000 this new
client version will stop accepting new connections from older client
versions from January 1st 2014 at 00:00:00 GMT so you must update to the
new version by this time.
