Gridcoin Mandatory Update Version 3.7.8.0 Released
![GRCHorizontal_Purple&Purple_Solid.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmajWZo7M3uWN5ku1jJsF3RndzTfzZwpYKiTpXQFuVCwxA/GRCHorizontal_Purple%26Purple_Solid.png)

This is a **mandatory upgrade** for all wallet users!  Please upgrade as soon as possible.

This release serves to fix the many issues present in the 3.7.7.0 release that caused us to shut down exchanges amid the forking problems.  With this release we will be informing exchanges it is safe to resume trading.

Download the update from GitHub [here](https://github.com/gridcoin/Gridcoin-Research/releases/tag/3.7.8.0).

The Windows MSI can be downloaded [here](https://download.gridcoin.us/download/downloadstake/gridcoinresearch.msi).

Note that the in-wallet upgrader is still not working at this time. Please do not upgrade from inside the wallet!

Here are the release notes:

    Check incoming blocks for malformed DPoR signature, #922.
    Corect tally height on init, #917 (@denravonska).

@alanman · 
I have my wallet on my work laptop on my desk in my office. I am out until Monday, so my wallet will be running 3.7.7.0 until I get in. What issues can I expect to see by leaving it up for the weekend?

So the Win one did *not* include all the fixes?? Because the msi is already on .8

It currently does not include *all* the listed fixes, so it was pulled temporarily until it can be reuploaded.

That is what it looks like. There was a release candidate built last night labeled 3.7.8.0 and then there was one more set of commits made after that. The current release tag is correct on git and master is up to date. Barton26 is working with the builders to make sure the right Windows binary is built that includes all of the changes.

We had reports that the sync got stuck so it might have been built from the wrong commit, or there is something else going on. We pulled the MSI from the site to see what's going on.
