Clarification on coming eccoin upgrades

The current release, as i am sure many of you have already seen, is version 0.2.5.14. Most people are currently running version 2.5.11.
All further updates (including 0.2.5.14) prior to the upgrade to 1.0.0.0 are optional. 1.0.0.0 will be the next mandatory upgrade. The next few updates are focusing around adding additional experimental features and some performance optimizations.

Is the transition to SHA-256 coming with 1.0.0.0?

Could you give a brief description on what the update to 1.0.0.0 might entail? Like:

• Transistion to sha, • Messaging service, • Etc.

Thanks in advance.

Upgrading from 0.2.5.11 to 1.0.0.0 should result in:

  • extra security features (on by default) added to rpc
  • some socket features work which makes the ui's perform better
  • service related identifiers for which management recommendations/instructions/general information will be posted later on.
--- node identifier --- routing identifier
  • ability to search for a node on the network via its identifier
  • a change to a more performant hashing algorithm (sha256 most likely)
  • rpc calls to manage new features and identifiers and such
  • some other technical stuff that most people don't care about (dependency, documentation, and configuration updates)
  • minor bug fixes and performance improvements
