These installs seem to be getting more complex.  I'll stick with 0.3.21.  Sad

WTF? Does it still ask you for ridiculous fees?

When I got into bitcoin, a major selling point was "no fees".  I guess the greed got to them.

There never was the need to pay fees for bitcoin transactions. It was only that this specific client did not accept weird transactions from peers without fees to prevent spam. With Bitcoin you are free to use whatever client you want - and changed as you like.

It looks like someone forgot to apply a bugfix present in 0.3.24-RC1 in RC3 and the final release.

See here:

http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=25515.msg324019#msg324019

I assume it wasn't checked into the main source tree.

Waiting for 0.3.24.1 now Smiley

Wait, it worked in RC1 but not RC3? RC1 did not have the fix applied.  RC3 (which is the same build as final, aside from some translations) did.

mine was fine, wallet survived install

Same.

Win 7 32bit - On startup, UI loaded then locked up ("Not Responding") for a few seconds before the first connection was established.

Just to be clear...

The upgrade / wallet update procedures are the same as with the last several bitcoin versions.  There is nothing special about updating to this release, versus past releases.

The advice posted in this thread is standard, general advice that you should always follow when updating:  back up your wallet (you are doing this anyway, right?)

Can someone complete the following line? I don't get it.

Gavin Andresen (3):
      Boost unit-testing framework.     make -f makefile.{unix,osx,mingw} test_b
      Block-chain lock-in at 134444
      Do not use comma as thousands separator     Using the comma as thousands s


That is referring to this git commit:

Quote
Do not use comma as thousands separator

Using the comma as thousands separator causes problems for parts of the world
where comma == decimal point.  Germans sending 0,001 bitcoins are unpleasantly
surprised when that results in 1 BTC getting sent.

So, what's the plan with this new version? send btc from old wallet into the new one? Convert the wallet.dat file?

What's the new file that we have to back up and encrypt to keep safe/secure?

Why would you have to do anything different?

Can we get an official Mac OS X binary up on the sourceforge and Bitcoin.org?

It is coming soon.  OSX builds are always delayed a day or so, because they are not integrated into our gitian build process like linux/windows.



Thanks Jeff!

I like to keep up with the most recent version, but I'm unfortunately not sophisticated enough to build from source on OS X. I tried, but I failed miserably.

They are not any more complex than before, what do you think has made it "more complex"?  Just install and be done with it.  If worried about your wallet [which you should be], copy it aside, or in my case, I just take it as a good time to encrypt and back it up.  I can always recover it and it is a process I do anyway.
