Hi people!
I'm testing the new client v0.9.2. Hopefully we'll have a dmg file for mac os this time.
I've read bitcoiners are testing v0.9.2rc1. Who will release first? we'll see...
High volume on trading today, but the spread on mintpal and poloniex (at the time of writing this post) is big (almost 2x!), I don't dare to interpret what's going on, but we are up on market cap rankings.
Besides the change to openssl 1.0.1h (which bitcoin will also include in their upcoming 0.9.2), these are the changes that I'm merging from btc:
RPC:
Add getwalletinfo, getblockchaininfo and getnetworkinfo calls (will replace hodge-podge getinfo at some point)
Add a relayfee field to getnetworkinfo
Fix RPC related shutdown hangs and leaks
Always show syncnode in getpeerinfo
sendrawtransaction: report the reject code and reason, and make it possible to re-send transactions that are already in the mempool
getmininginfo show right genproclimit
Command-line options:
Fix -printblocktree output
Show error message if ReadConfigFile fails
Block-chain handling and storage:
Fix for GetBlockValue() after block 13,440,000 (BIP42)
Upgrade leveldb to 1.17
Protocol and network code:
Per-peer block download tracking and stalled download detection
Add new DNS seed from bitnodes.io does not apply to RIC
Prevent socket leak in ThreadSocketHandler and correct some proxy related socket leaks
Wallet:
Make GetAvailableCredit run GetHash() only once per transaction (performance improvement)
Lower paytxfee warning threshold from 0.25 BTC to 0.01 BTC
Fix importwallet nTimeFirstKey (trigger necessary rescans)
Log BerkeleyDB version at startup
Build system:
Add OSX build descriptors to gitian
Fix explicit --disable-qt-dbus
Don't require db_cxx.h when compiling with wallet disabled and GUI enabled
Improve missing boost error reporting
Upgrade miniupnpc version to 1.9
gitian-linux: --enable-glibc-back-compat for binary compatibility with old distributions
gitian: don't export any symbols from executable
gitian: build against Qt 4.6
devtools: add script to check symbols from Linux gitian executables

GUI:
Fix various coin control visual issues
Show number of in/out connections in debug console

Fill in label from address book also for URIs
Fixes feel when resizing the last column on tables (issue #2862)
Fix ESC in disablewallet mode
Add expert section to wallet tab in optionsdialog
Do proper boost::path conversion (fixes unicode in datadir)
Only override -datadir if different from the default (fixes -datadir in config file)
Show rescan progress at start-up
Show importwallet progress
Get required locks upfront in polling functions (avoids hanging on locks)
Catch Windows shutdown events while client is running
Optionally add third party links to transaction context menu
Check for !pixmap() before trying to export QR code (avoids crashes when no QR code could be generated)
Miscellaneous:
Replace non-threadsafe C functions (gmtime, strerror and setlocale)
Add missing cs_main and wallet locks
Avoid exception at startup when system locale not recognized
Changed bitrpc.py's raw_input to getpass for passwords to conceal characters during command line input tool not adapted for ric
devtools: add a script to fetch and postprocess translations tool not adapted for ric
the command line option for enabling the xpt server (for solo mining with xpt miners) will probably not be ready for 0.9.2...
