Last July, BIP 34 was accepted. It specifies a "soft fork":

@s{quotedtext} @s{quotedtext}
We are getting close to that threshold: 821 out of the latest 1000 blocks were version 2.

If you are mining in a pool: there is a list of pools and what versions they are producing here. If your pool is producting version=1 blocks, you should urge your pool operator to upgrade or patch.

If you are mining with p2pool or solo and using a very old version of bitcoind: you should upgrade, or you risk your blocks getting orphaned.
