1. GPL 2.5 is now the official Gold Pressed Latinum client, Github has been updated, and the test Github has been taken down. The official windows download location in the OP now has version 2.5 and the test location is no longer available. Version 2.4 can still be used, but there is really no reason to do so. Version 2.5 is much faster.
Remember if updating from 2.4, you will need to delete the entire datadir (setting aside a copy of your wallet.dat and conf file) and let the new client build the local database fresh. The local database between 2.4 and 2.5 is incompatible. After 2.5 has synced (1-2 hours), shut it down and replace the wallet.dat with your saved wallet.dat. Start the client back up and your wallet should be as it was before (Client may rescan)
2. The basic client/daemon work for the Federation Credit relaunch is done. Qt changes are done. I have not added anything new cosmetically as there is just not enough time. The redemption cutoff block will be set tonight, so there is no longer any need to POS mine, as rewards will not be redistributed for blocks after the cutoff. Barring any major issues, it should be ready to go later tomorrow. I also need to decide on what to do with the first 120 blocks. Block one will be a super block of ~7,999,000 to be redistributed to the same addresses they are contained on the current chain. Block 1 -120 will be needed to mature the super block for distribution. I would like everything to be in place before official release, so I need to figure out what to do with the ~6000 UFC between blocks 2 - 120.
