Here are some notes from my preliminary tests on the new beta.

There is still an error on start up with the C Runtime Library loading correctly:

Additionally when I try to set up a proxy so that Electrum runs through TOR using "localhost" and port 9050 I get the following recursive error. Please note that TOR is working perfectly with all other applications.

I'm running Windows 7 Premium Home Edition.

Awesome! Just when I was going to go back and re-download the new .zip file, I see there is a new Windows executable! Yay!! Now all we need is a changelog so we can see what was done! (hint hint)

That's good news! Were you successful in installing setup tools and Electrum?

Tip: If you find line like ImportError: No module named setuptools. Copy the last word and search in Google, i.e., setuptools python.

you need to create a special wallet, that will contain only imported keys.
see https://electrum.orain.org/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_import_addresses_from_other_Bitcoin_clients.3F

Could you guys explain the reasoning behind this and is their anyway around it? I have some imported addresses that are important to me, so I'm going to stick with 1.9.8 for now, I guess.

I tried installing the new beta and I get the following error(s):

C:\Users\xxxxxxxxx\Desktop\Electrum-2.0b3>python setup.py sdist
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 5, in
from setuptools import setup
ImportError: No module named setuptools

You haven't installed setuptools. Use ez_setup.py(recommended) : http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/branches/setuptools-0.6/#egg=setuptools-dev06 , alternatively, you can try windows installers : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/0.6c11#downloads.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot. This is my first time to try Electrum without a Windows installer

Is there any news on the status of the beta? It's looking good here except the proxy part isn't working. Is this the best place to report bugs/errors or is there a better place to report errors?

UPDATE!! I see a new beta was posted yesterday! I'm getting ready to look at it now.

Can I have a brief advice on what I should expect if I start using the beta?

As in: can I use it for my "main" wallet, or would that be a security risk I rather shouldn't take?

What exactly is the Encrypt/Decrypt message function and how is it supposed to work? I've played with it but I can't seem to get it to do anything.

You can encrypt a message with the private key of an address in your wallet

Thanks for the answer but what is the purpose of doing so?

It works like PGP. I hope you're familiar with it. If someone want to send you a message and he thinks others will somehow see it, he can encrypt it with your public key. So only you can decrypt the message and see it as you have the private key of the address. Two additional features to signing and verifying messages. I hope you understand!

Got it! Thanks! I've been using PGP since it's inception so I'm well familiar with it. Hence my interest in this feature.

I'm running Electrum Beta 2.0b2 under Windows 7 Home Edition. When I start the program I get a popup that says "Runtime Error! R6034 An Application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. ..." It still runs but I get that error. Just FYI. Can anything be done about it?

I've just done some testing and my alternative server (Jelectrum) seems to work with 2.0b2 without issue.

There are some new (and old) methods that my server doesn't support, but 2.0b2 doesn't seem to call them:

blockchain.address.listunspent
blockchain.address.get_balance
blockchain.address.get_proof
blockchain.address.get_mempool
blockchain.utxo.get_address

Hi,

My wallet is stuck in "Synchronizing". Any idea?? I already restarted it and tried to use different servers.

Is there any specific port number I should connect to? Currently it says "50001" eventhough is in auto-connect.

Thanks

Please don't make two similar posts.

Try to connect to a server manually. There was no such problem for me.
