Aeon hard fork details: Aeon 0.12.0.0 Sophia released and rebase of Aeon codebase
Aeon hard fork will be happening on June 3rd 2018 and while no new coin will be made, this is a pretty significant update. So if you mine Aeon or store them on local wallet, you will need to do the update. Just update the miner software such as XMR-STAK / XMRig and you will notice soon if your software is correct or not as the updated pool will simply reject the shares submitted by your mining machine.
Latest version of Aeon software, v0.12 is released that brings its codebase to the latest master branch of Monero. The purpose of this updated codebase is to keep the changes to the network rules relatively small. Following Monero’s network rules have been removed.
