Is 0.8 version a mandatory update?
Precisely, yes. After 0.8 is out 0.9 will come out shortly and replace obsolete 0.8 protocol, so u would need to update ur client to a newer revision of the software if u wanna keep up with the innovations. Once the transition to 0.9 is finalized 0.99 will pop up, and u will dive into a clutter of upgrading to another version. Once again u will curse this disturbing shit when u see 0.999 version is about to roll out. U are doomed to perform endless upgrades till the end of ur life and whats worse is that u will be unable to prevent this shit. The only solution to deal with this would be to shut down the client and unbookmark this thread.
