Shouldnt this announcement be in big bold red letters all over the place? How do you expect everyone to upgrade due to a critical bug if you don't make it seem serious and disclose the matter nonchalantly.
The fact Jean-Luc urges everyone to update for a critical issue is enough to do it. Reasons might not be disclosed to avoid malicious exploits in a 0.5.11 vulnerability.
Sorry, but it is not.
If not updating has such large consequences, it needs to be coordinated at least with nxtcrypto so QBTC can put it in the front page.
People who don´t read this thread have no idea they need to update and basically no way of knowing it.
I understood buybitcoinscanada and others were questioning not only the discreet announcement, but why the details were not disclosed as well. Hence my comment.
I didn't intend to suggest that spreading the word was unnecessary, apologies if it appeared that way... I did update my spanish resources and nextcoin.org's three hours ago.
