One issue that seems to persist here is the lack of a menu for Bitcoin-Qt after installation in Ubuntu unity for example in Ubuntu 12.04.
Topic: Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind 0.8.2 (final) available - page 2. (Read 15221 times)
Thanks Gavin and all who helped.
Bitcoind is a headless daemon, so there is no "interface", other than whichever command line program you use.

Fee Policy changes
The default fee for low-priority transactions is lowered from 0.0005 BTC
(for each 1,000 bytes in the transaction; an average transaction is
about 500 bytes) to 0.0001 BTC.
Payments (transaction outputs) of 0.543 times the minimum relay fee
(0.00005430 BTC) are now considered 'non-standard', because storing them
costs the network more than they are worth and spending them will usually
cost their owner more in transaction fees than they are worth.
Non-standard transactions are not relayed across the network, are not included
in blocks by most miners, and will not show up in your wallet until they are
included in a block.
The default fee policy can be overridden using the -mintxfee and -minrelaytxfee
command-line options, but note that we intend to replace the hard-coded fees
with code that automatically calculates and suggests appropriate fees in the
0.9 release and note that if you set a fee policy significantly different from
the rest of the network your transactions may never confirm.

Gavin, was it only mintxfee that changed in this release? In other words: are mintxfee and minrelaytxfee the same now?
Also, the minimum allowed output will gradually invalidate most alternative client implementations, time to start coding. I guess that the policy for change-back-to-self worth less than 5420 satoshis should be to remove the change output add it to the miner fee.
In general I think it is time to update https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fee
Thanks. 
On Ubuntu/Unity, the menu and icon still don't work. That makes Unity severely broken, because you know – the menu bar is missing entirely.
FTFY
Thank you

I have one more favour to ask. Apart from Bitcoin-Qt there is also BitcoinD (from what I understand). Can someone post a screenshot of BitcoinD's interface or how BitcoinD looks like?
Thanks
Thanks
The .exe one is an installer (which adds shortcuts among other things). You can unpack the other one to a directory and run it without installing it.
Thanks, it worked
My OS is Windows. Which of the two ''win32'' should I download? The red or the green one? They have different size.
Thanks

Ugh I hate the mandatory downloads..
There is nothing mandatory here.
Thanks for your team's work Gavin.
Still says beta though 
Every Bitcoin version ever released has been beta (intentionally).
Ooooh love the new splash:
Still says beta though
64-bit version is working in Linux perfectly!

I was waiting for this new release to really start developing my web service. Now basically all the puzzle pieces are in their box. Can't wait to sink my teeth in. Cheers!
Reminder: for those of you downloading a fresh copy of the blockchain, please consider using the blockchain data torrent.
Testing feedback still welcome and encouraged. Post your platform/OS version in your report, as David M just did (thanks!).

Win 7 32 bit. No problems during upgrade
The splash screen is excellent and the UI is improving nicely.
