The SHA1SUMS.asc file in the 0.5 folder only has the hashes for the 0.4.1 rc files.
Fixed, thanks for finding it.

Don`t know if it is related to this thread, but Russian translation is just terrible (v. 0.5). In particular in the part of commission explanation.

+ Popups is just blank and black in WinXP SP3

I have upgraded to RC5 0.5 XP SP 3.  I have encrypted the wallet. How do I know if it worked for sure?

To be absolutely sure, you need to extract your private keys and then run a tool to look for them in your wallet.dat file (or other files on your disk).

If you are able to compile a custom version of bitcoin and run python, here's how:

If you can't compile a custom version of bitcoin or run python code, then you'll have to trust other people to thoroughly test.

I just installed 0.5.0 and after quick test of most common use cases everything seems to be OK for me (although I'm not testing wallet encryption yet). I'd like to say that I'm impressed with changes in GUI in 0.5.0. It's still not perfect, but it is huge step in good direction.

Not sure if it is bug or feature, but when I send some coins to myself, "amount" of this transaction is zero, although in previous versions (0.3.24) there was correct amount which I typed to "Send coins" form.

I know that now it's not the best time to asking feature requests, but I'm missing two simple things in 0.5.0:
* Actual balance should be visible on every tab, I'm missing it especially on Transactions tab. I think status bar is good place for showing it.
* It would be very nice to have separate column "Balance" right of "Amount" on Transactions, displaying actual balance in wallet in the time of given transaction. It's pretty common in all banking applications.

However those are feature requests, not bugs. So far everything is good in 0.5.0 for me.

I've uploaded release candidate binaries for Bitcoin versions 0.4.1 and 0.5.0 to SourceForge:
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.4.1/test/
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.5.0/test/

The 0.4.1 release is the old wxWidgets-based Bitcoin with a critical fix to the wallet encryption feature.
The 0.5 release is the new Qt-based Bitcoin (which also includes the wallet encryption bugfix).
