-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Barring any last-minute showstopper issues, the plan is for release candidate 5 to become the official 0.6.0 release on Wednesday.
So please help look for last-minute showstopper issues: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.6.0/test/ The major changes from release candidate 4: + Much faster writing of blkindex.dat during initial blockchain download (by modifying the default bdb environment cache settings) + A new policy for wallet.dat upgrades: use the old format unless the user either uses a feature that requires an upgrade (encrypts the wallet) or explicitly requests that the wallet be upgraded using the new -upgradewallet option. New wallets will use new features (for 0.6, the only new wallet feature is compressed public keys). + bugfix introduced in rc4 for an assertion failure that could occur during blockchain reorganizations + New code for managing the addr.dat file that prevents an attacker from filling it with bogus entries. - -- - -- Gavin Andresen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk9w/mIACgkQdYgkL74406gafACdHYn6QI6QoKhkf22e0My2jCWa IPkAn3YnNeMEmG8N6xEyCdNx3MTjgkcF =CRL2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
