New version of the urbit binary (1.9) and a new ota released
Tlon has released a new version of the urbit binary and is releasing a new OTA to go along with it.
The most important thing about this release for users is that urbit-worker, urbit-king, and the urbit binary are going away, and instead the binary is now located inside your pier (the folder that has your planet name).
For those of you upgrading, you'll need to do the upgrade and then run a command to move the binary into your pier.
Here's what's in the release:
Adds a command to
urbitto update the binary. In future, when a new
binary is ready, simply runurbit nextto get the update.
