Monero Client v0.27.0 has been released!
https://github.com/Jojatekok/monero-client/releases/tag/v0.27.0

Another day, an other release!

The immersive development of the Client continues with an unexpected feature: Backup Manager. It is a new solution for managing wallet backups easily without the need for any external tools. And this is only the basic functionality: many other fixes and improvements will be coming soon... Wink

Oh, and I finally implemented a crash report logging system which automagically appends each new unhandled exception to '\CrashLogs.txt'. If you experience any issues, please send that log to me if possible, it helps a lot.

For passionate people who would like to translate the Client, here is the link: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/monero-client/ Cheesy

Thank you!

The only new bug I know about in this release is related to the newly added feature, and doesn't do any "real harm": The backup manager's restore application method doesn't reset simplewallet.exe's arguments, thus, if a new wallet has been created during the Client's startup, old wallets cannot be restored - but only in that session.

I started having crashing on start up during sync with version .26. It's doing the same thing in this version, below is the only thing in the CrashLogs.txt. I didn't experience this in testing before .26. I started it up again and it finished syncing without issue. Then it crashed again (Same Error as below) just sitting there with no other transactions coming in. I like how the transaction notifications popup as they come in now tho. You really seem to be moving everything along at a fast pace now, keep up the great work

CrashLogs.txt:

0.27 still crashing for me Sad

Thank you for the crash logs! I finally have an idea why it happens (2 or 3 minutes) after startup: One of the recent versions introduced automatic blockchain saving through the RPC every 2 minutes, and that can take more than 30 seconds (which is the WebRequest timeout I was using). I have set the timeout to Timeout.Infinite, as local requests may take any seconds. The reason why I didn't encounter this issue is that I am using an SSD, thus, my read/write times are faster than in the case of HDDs. (Probably, that's the reason behind TheNobodies' server being able to handle the situation without crashing.)

Also, I made the blockchain save only every 5 minutes instead of 2, but the wallet will still save every 2 minutes (as that's a lightweight operation compared to storing the blockchain).

EDIT: The new version will also feature better Timer handling. Instead of waiting for a pre-defined interval (see above on the graphics), requests are going to be finished before (see below).

The 't's are the Timer's interval

No more secrets: Here is the feature I was talking about yesterday! The Backup Manager allows you to periodically back up your wallet data easily with the press of less than 5 buttons. By default, it uses your wallet backup directory (which can be set in the options), but you can also define a custom path when creating new files.

Restoring backups has never been easier: You only have to select a date (or a custom path), and then press a button. The new wallet gets loaded immediately without the need for the application to be restarted.

Please be patient, great things need time to be made! Wink

You have added very nice features in your wallet, but I don't see the point for this one :

- If you are backuping ".keys" files, you should add a warning message because this file NEEDS to be kept secret and deleted if the computer is sold/given to another person. I think you should use electrum-like seeds instead.
- For data files, they are regenerated automatically (blockchain scanning) if they are deleted. What is the use case of a backup ?

However if this feature allows wallets to be saved differently (without .keys/data file), that could be a good idea because current formats are not UNIX <--> Windows compatibles.

At this time, it saves and then restores every file stored in '\WalletData' to '\WalletData\Backups' by default. It allows the user to easily restore the wallet whether something goes wrong (file corruption for example), without the need to re-synchronize the wallet itself. Naturally, a future release will include electrum seed backup opportunities too. Wink

Nice work!
The more special/unique features the better, this sounds really good

EDIT: This message will be shown before each backup:

Also - based on your kind advices - I'll add a similar warning dialog before enabling auto-backup, and have already added a placeholder button for restoring wallet data from an electrum-like seed.

Is it mandatory that it be done in python?
seems like the wrong tool for the job

wut. the three that are closest to being done are in c++, c#, and some mac shit, not python.

I too am getting the same crashes... worked fine in 0.24, but 0.25 and 0.26 both crash within a few minutes of launching the app. How can I help?

I'll look into the case, and try to write a general debugging algorithm which exports crash logs to '\CrashLogs.txt'. Version 0.25.0 featured a core change, so it's definitely possible that it could be a reason.

Yesterday, I was running Monero Client all night long, but didn't encounter the bug... Sad

EDIT: The mechanism has been successfully implemented and tested (it catches all the bugs), so it is going to be deployed in the next version.

EDIT 2: stable crashes after 10-15 minutes, i cannot run it under debugger because i dont know how to work with dotnet Sad

EDIT 3: it works on my windows server without crashes, so it is problem in my pc.

I have sent you a debug build in PM, please try using it on your PC, and send me the crash reports you get. (Please take note that the file 'C:\_MoneroDump.txt' is not being appended to, but overwritten by each new crash dump, so rename the file after each crash!)

By the way, on your screenshot, Monero Client seems to consume more RAM than it should (actually, even after a lot of QR code generation and in debug mode, it consumes only 50 MB for me).

EDIT: There is a chance that the next version will contain something which I have not seen in any other wallets yet Wink

I have been running Monero Client for an hour, but didn't experience one single crash. I also checked the code, but nothing should go wrong. May I ask whether you ran simultaneous instances of bitmonerod.exe or the Client itself? If not, then next time when encountering the issue, please send me more details about it, preferably the stack trace (which identifies the lines of code that are involved in the case). Thanks!

Interesting... It's an issue with the RPC service for sure, so only DaemonManager can be affected.

I'll run the application in debug mode while I take a break, so I may be able to reproduce the symptom. Anyway, this is the most stable release yet, so it's recommended for anyone who uses my wallet.

Quote from: BitKoot on June 28, 2014, 09:15:38 AM

A can not keep up with you Jojatekok

. But very nice to see the progress you are making!

I plan on keeping my wallet as simple and stable as possible. I would like to remind people my wallet runs on linux as well (using mono). For a full featured and slik Windows wallet Jojatekoks wallet is definatly the best choice.

I have made some adjustments to polish my wallet: Download v0.2.3
-About dialog added (shows software versions and block height).
-Changed icon (to the one from the branding kit).
-Non-main windows don't show in taskbar any longer.

(versions numbers in the screenshot are wrong, this has already been fixed in the download)

Thank you for mentioning my Client, it is a pleasure for me. I have to admit that the initial inspiration for me was your WinForms project, and it also seems like a viable multiplatform alternative for an official wallet GUI. It fills me with happiness and joy to meet awesome people like everyone here. We will definitely take Monero to the Moon! Wink

What you are surely doing is very important for Monero

Anyone have some feedback/critiques for the new version?

I have improved the shutdown experience for the next release (including support for non-safe process killing), along with a nice little feature Wink

EDIT: Oh, and I also fixed transaction sending: it turns out that the problem was environment-related with decimals ('.' was interpreted as ',', and simplewallet didn't like it Tongue
