Hi everyone,
A quick reminder that if you haven't already, you need to replace your Infusion fork's master branch and update all of your other branches. This is due to Justin's recent "minor surgery" to fix up the commit history after the network graph was recently flipped by an accidental fast forward.
Here are Justin's step-by-step instructions in case you haven't done this already. I followed along and it was super easy.
