Hi aristoteles,
It is very recommended to upgrade to the new version. If you use the old version and you get an error message then nobody can help you.

Yes, one of your domain names has been updated a few days ago.
(For clarification for other people reading this post:
aristoteles keeps some of his domain names at dotbit.me. When asking if "
you are renewing" the domain names, he confused the owner of dotbit.me with the admins or developers here at this forum, I think.)
In general:
- If your names are stored in a paid account at dotbit.me then they get renewed automatically. (Disclaimer: the owner of dotbit.me is not an admin of this forum. He is not a member of the Namecoin developers/maintainers team either. If you keep your names or NMCs at third-party wallet sites like dotbit.me there is always a risk of loss.)
- If your names are stored in a free account at dotbit.me then they don't get renewed automatically AFAIK. Ask dotbit.me's admin for details.
- If you keep your names locally in your Namecoin-Qt or namecoind client (i.e. in your wallet.dat file) then you have to update each name manually every 6 months approximately.
