Released on March 1, 2018

From what I hear... your wallet will now correct itself if on a fork! If you notice your block hashes are out of whack, just give it a bit... everything will sort out eventually.

Please report any persistent problems to our development team via Slack, or our new Rocket.Chat. Thank you in advance for your diligence. :D
