OK great. I'm on that right away, thanks!

In doing this it became important to make the selection of rule forks a matter of configuration. I was going to do that in v4 but the new forks made it more immediate.

I need to reconnect the pools following the validation rewrite, and to finish an update in progress on initial block download (which is currently disabled). Apart from that there is a connection bug in network and a worker initialization race in server, both of which need to be resolved. I'm hopeful that this can be complete before the end of the year. Until that point the API can certainly change, but it should not change much in any area except blockchain.

>> It's close, I've got a couple of things left to move around. I'm going to flatten chain::script, inline script::program and script::number, rename message::block_message and message_transaction_message and I am about to merge a change of hash_number into compact number with a redesign of uint256_t (once I've completed tests). Phillip is also working on statsd integration into log via a new sink. That's all we've got planned. Prob another week before that all comes together. Potentially unforeseen changes as the need arises in completing node/server/bx for release, but I don't anticipate anything presently except a caching optimization in blockchain that would impact chain_state.
