[Bitcoin-development] Bitcoin Core 0.9.4 not on bitcoin.org?
Why is that? Also, is it correct that there wasn't a release candidate before the release? Sounds dangerous to me. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.

It contains merely a workaround for a change in OpenSSL which caused problems - see Gregory Maxwell's post. As the releases are statically built against OpenSSL, it is not necessary to upgrade if you use releases from bitcoin.org. Hence no change on the site. (but it can be used by people building from source, or distributions packages such as the Ubuntu PPA, which unwisely dynamically link OpenSSL) Also, is it correct that there wasn't a release candidate before the release? Sounds dangerous to me. Again, there hasn't been any 0.9.4 release, neither a release candidate or anything else. Testing and such should be focused on the 0.10 release candidates.

Also, is it correct that there wasn't a release candidate before the release? Sounds dangerous to me. The changes were tried first by many people as part of git master. This was narrow bug fix backport required to prevent the software from no longer working at all for people who compiled it themselves and received software updates for their system. -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
