How to upgrade to protocol 10008 after upgrading binaries to beta 1?

+1 vote
After upgrading the binaries for beta and launching daemon, the initial output says daemon on protocol 10008 but after connecting the output says protocol running at version 10007. If I manually change the protocol to 10008 in the params.dat file, the daemon won't start. How do I upgrade to protocol 10008?

Protocol 10008 is the first one that will allow upgrading a blockchain's protocol after it has started. So I'm afraid for a chain already running protocol 10007 your only option is starting a new chain with 10008. This is one of the reasons previous versions were called "alpha".
