The files are available here: Because it takes time to put the files up, propagate to mirrors, check by multiple people that the downloads work an the signatures pass. Every release comes with a release announcement, you'll know its out when you see the release announcement. The alternative is that announcements go out and the files are not correct, or hide the files in the release pipeline and allow less public participation in the release workflow. I think that would be unfortunate. -- Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.

It would be nice if announcements like this were posted to a mailing list as well as bitcointalk.org (is there a bitcoin-announce list that I missed?

Re: [Bitcoin-development] 0.8.6 release candidate 1
Our testing of the macos leveldb parts for the past 6 days has had zero complaints of new corruption from OMG and LTC users. I agree it is time to release 0.8.6.

The leveldb subtree merge was done incorrectly leaving an errant db/ directory in the base of bitcoin instead of src/leveldb. I see: db/autocompact_test.cc ... which I assume is a leveldb unit test file that should be in src/leveldb/db/ Not a showstopper bug. Given we've had hundreds of downloads and no reports of insanity, I think we should tag v0.8.6 today (same commit as v0.8.6rc1) and ship it. -- -- Gavin Andresen -- Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.
