UPGRADE NOTES

• When updating from version 0.8.x, given the node is on a fork with height ~ 202K there's no need to delete blockchain or state files, just update the executables.
• If you are on some other fork, it's best to drop all data, both blockchain.dat and state.dat.
• If you are updating from earlier versions, be sure to read 0.8.0 release notes.
