I finally managed to build from source on OS X 10.6.8. I had to change the architecture from i386 to x86_64 otherwise I got linking errors against the libraries MacPorts built.
Anyway, the new client is very nice. I especially liked the progress bar when downloading the blockchain. That'll be great for first time users. The client stopped downloading blocks a few times (while still thousands short of the latest block), but restarting the client got it going again. I've seen the same behavior in the old client too.
My only complaint about the new interface is for receiving coins. In the old interface, my receiving address was at the top of the client. To get a new address, I just clicked Copy. In the new interface, I have to switch to the Receive Coins tab, click New Address, click OK, click Copy to Clipboard. That's 4 clicks versus 1 before. I don't think it's any reason to delay the release, but it would be nice to have a more streamlined UI for a common operation like receiving coins at a brand new address.
Thank you to all involved with the new UI. That even I could build it from source suggests we'll have more contributors going forward.
Topic: Please help test: version 0.5 release candidate 1 (Read 6041 times)
I found a way to make the release candidate crash:
1. use bitcoind to send to an address that's not in the address book
2. in the client, right click the greyed-out address in the 'address' column of the transactions tab
3. 'edit label'
4. the address field is blank - would be nice if it was populated automatically. type or copy/paste the address in, and type a new label name
5. click 'ok' and get a segmentation fault

It looks great! The only problem is the horrible startup screen. There should be an option to disable that.
It could be better but it's a hundred times better than having nothing for more than one minute.
Not really, because I start bitcoin on startup so now it needlessly takes over my screen for a minute when it could be started and minimizing itself to the system tray.
Client must be near a version 1.0 if bugs like this are being fixed. 
It turns out that's exactly what the client is using. The problem is that there's no English translation file. That should be easy to provide. I'll make a pull request.
Here's an English translation that makes the strings appear correctly:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/606
Is it really so hard to do "%d second%s", x, (x != 1 ? "s" : "")
That's not hard, but it's not correct either. The client currently supports 7 different languages.
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qq/qq19-plurals.html talks about a better way to support plural forms in QT apps.

Code:
"Last received block was generated 54 second(s) ago".
This may be a minor point, but "second(s)" looks SO ugly. It's a real pet peeve of mine about sites and programs that can't be bothered to clean this up.

When I hover over the green checkmark in the bottom right corner, it tells me:
If I go back to it 10 seconds later, it says the same, when I would expect it to say "67 seconds ago" or "1 minute ago".
I guess what the time is telling me is how much time elapsed between the block being generated and the block being received by my client, but that's not what the tooltip says.
or
or even just
would be more accurate. "Ago" means "before now".
Code:
"Last received block was generated 54 second(s) ago".

"Last received block was 54 second(s) old when it was received"

The 'amount' column in the 'transactions' view isn't resizable, and doesn't fit in a value I recently sent.
xxx.xxxxxxxx BTC is ok, but -xxx.xxxxxxxx BTC doesn't fit, and I see xxx.xxxxx... instead (dots replacing the last 3 digits of the amount)
Three figure sums probably aren't all that uncommon to be sending, and it looks pretty ugly when the value doesn't fit in the box.

There's a sticky here about creating a pull request, it'd be most excellent if you could make you==you and fix the doc/readme-qt.rst file.
See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/592
You might want to include a note in the instructions about this.
You == me?
There's a sticky here about creating a pull request, it'd be most excellent if you could make you==you and fix the doc/readme-qt.rst file.
I'll try hard to remember to mention this for the 0.5 release notes, but I'll warn you I'm really good at forgetting things.
I had bitcoin-qt crash with a "Segmentation fault" error when I tried to open the 'options' dialog.
Running this command seems to have stopped the crashes:
Code:
sudo apt-get remove qt-at-spi
Package qt-at-spi is installed by default when you install Ubuntu 11.10. It looks like this is a known bug in ubuntu's qt-at-spi package.
You might want to include a note in the instructions about this. I had tried testing the Qt bitcoin client when it was first merged to the master branch but gave up due to these crashes. If I had known then that uninstalling qt-at-spi would fix them, I wouldn't have given up on the Qt client.
I built bitcoin-qt v0.5.0rc1 in Ubuntu 11.10 with the following packages installed and had the following problems.

- doc/readme-qt.rst says that 'libdb4.8++-dev' is required, but it doesn't exist in the current version of ubuntu (oneiric). Only one version exists, which is what I installed. This debian bug talks about the issue.
Code:
chris@chris:~/Programs/bitcoin$ apt-cache search 'libdb[0-9].*\+\+-dev'

- In the 'Send coins' tab, hovering over the address book icon pops up a tooltip saying "Choose adress [...]. "Adress" is missing a 'd'.
- In the same tab, clicking the address book icon opens a new window which has an 'ok' button but no 'cancel' button.
- bitcoin-qt is very noisy on standard output. Starting and just clicking through the 6 tabs along the top generates more than 3000 lines of text in the terminal that ran it. Could these messages go to the debug.log file if they're needed? Here's how it starts (piped through 'uniq -c' to remove duplicate lines):

- I had bitcoin-qt crash with a "Segmentation fault" error when I tried to open the 'options' dialog. Sometimes I'm able to see the options dialog, and sometimes it crashes when I try to open it. I tried re-running bitcoin-qt, then immediately did settings->options, cancel, settings->options and it crashed then, after working the first time. I've rebuilt with debugging symbols and got a stack trace:

I finally got around to re-compiling on my FreeBSD system last night off of Trunk (I think I did it in part because I wanted to be sure I could re-compile in a hurry if need be. Binary seems to work, though I have not tried to transfer any BTC with it.
Seems that I had to include some extra system header files in protocol.cpp for AF_INET and some other symbol. I don't have the details in front of me, and I cannot say for sure that this was the fix or that I did it correctly, but after doing this I got a binary that appears to have download the blockchain as I slept and be processing transactions. Didn't even try the tests. I might be inclined to do so if someone takes enough of an interest in this platform to support it more cleanly.

Hey Gavin et al,
Congratulations with this RC1. My comments are mostly superficial as the plumbing seems to 'just work'. With Qt, this is the first time I've successfully compiled from HEAD for months. That's a huge bonus in my world.
The incoming transaction notifications are subtle but informative. The client looks nice and lays out well full screen in xmonad 1280x800. UX failure begins in width <570px and height <226px; It needs scrollbars in small windows. Ambiguous dates (xx/xx/year) are unacceptable in an international product without localization, otherwise ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss) UTC should be used.
The splash-screen wallet is cute but annoying. It does not play nice with my window manager. I can't hide it, move it, nor redirect it to another workspace. So I've got this box blocking whatever I'm doing for several seconds dead center screen.
I can guess, but not sure what the three icons indicate in the bottom right of the client; They could use some hover tool tips. mBTC and μBTC are clever if not hopeful as kBTC would be more realistic today. The dynamic 'clock' unconfirmed and 'check' status are perfectly informative. I can not see the sending address in my transaction history when receiving (from unknown?). Address book, meh.
In the future, I would like to see options such as import/export and more control/visibility of transactions, even if these features are deactivated by default.
The message "This transaction is over the size limit. You can still send it for a fee of 0.0005 BTC, which goes to the nodes that process your transaction and helps to support the network. Do you want to pay the fee?" is confusing, particularly if/when the user is sending a small amount (to him value IS the transaction). I would recommend "The network is congested" or really get into the sum(value * confirmations)/(bytes) with a "help"/"more info" link.
Aside from the fact that this is confusing, it's annoying that the user has no recourse, this 'feature' makes micro-payments less realistic. I would much prefer the message warned me that miners may decide not to send such a measly amount of money without paying a fee. Would I like to send it anyway YES or no? Bitcoin is a FREE market experiment after all. A suggested transaction with vague/estimated delays might be appropriate.
If the client asks for a passphrase on send, there is no need to also ask if he really intends to send coins. For small transactions, the user is unnecessarily replying yes three times before sending a coin.
IFF the client must ask me if I want to send a measly amount of money to which I may decline paying a fee and thus abort, it would be better to ask for the passphrase after I've fully confirmed my intention to send (including any fees) or at the same time.
Aside from my stalled micro-transaction ( Thank Satoshi for main.h ), everything looks and works very well! Thanks again for your hard work to produce a great client,
Netrin
