-If you are running version 0.8.0, there is a small risk that payments with more than -6 confirmations could be double-spent on the 0.7-compatible blockchain. The risk is small -because this is not a network split-- transactions are being sent to both sides of the -chain split, and it is unlikely (but possible) that somebody could get two versions of the -same transaction into the two sides of the chain.

What will be done

-The core developers are investigating exactly what causes the old versions to reject the new -blocks, and will release a 0.8.1 version that avoids creating blocks that are incompatible with -older versions. +The core developers have investigated what caused the old versions to reject the new +blocks, and have released a 0.8.1 version that avoids creating blocks that are incompatible with +older versions.
