I run Linux on my abacus.

I recently upgraded from the 0.88 stable to version 0.89.99.14-beta on Windows 7 64-bit.

Looks like the new version created the '%userdir%\AppData\Roaming\Armory\databases\leveldb_blkdata' directory, which now is larger than the original blockchain dir. What's the point in using double the HD space?

----- Ubuntu/Debian

Only 10.04 and 12.04 are mentioned.
Is the 12.04 deb/installer compatible with 13.10?

Yay! A new version to test. I was having a LOT of stability issues on OS X 10.9 with the .14 version. I'll save the bug report for this version

Well, I know you posted Mac OS X 10.8 & 10.9. And I am meager 10.7.5. But things are not improving on this. Seems to die even faster:

So is this intended to be last testing release prior to 0.90-beta?

Barring any showstopping issues, yes. I plan to have it posted alongside 0.88.1, and if someone has enough RAM, they can still use the old one which may be more reliable for now. But it seems that this version is working quite well for a lot of people, and 0.88.1 is getting more unreliable, so I have to release it sometime!

Version 0.91 will be tons of polishing, bug fixes, unicode fixes, and optimizations. I expect that that version will edge 0.88.1 on reliability.

The link text doesn't match the filenames for the 64bit offline bundles.

So is this intended to be the "final testing version before the official 0.90-beta release"?

RELEASE SCRIPTS COMPLETE:

These things are bad-ass. Not only do they sign everything, bundle everything, hash everything (offline), and then verify and upload everything to S3 (online), it prints out a bunch of forum-formatted and HTML links!

Below I have raw copied the forum-formatted links here after a raw upload to S3. This may not be perfect [yet], but it's pretty darned close. Please download things, verify signatures, install and run, etc.

The two things I'm not sure about: Vista support, and offline-bundles properly bundled! Please try it out!

That's why I like XP. I've made my offline setup secure. My online version is not, but probably more secure than most other XPs, 7s and 8s.

Also... at this point a lot of people are using 10.04 for their offline computers, and I don't want to tell them "sorry, gotta destroy and rebuild your super-secure system...have fun!" (including one of my own offline systems

)

I am actually in the process right now of upgrading my release process to include 10.04 and 12.04 installers by default.

Will have a 10.04 offline bundle for you tomorrow morning

In my search process I just noticed there is only 10.04 support until 2013/05.
Are you sure you want to keep support on 10.04?

One nice thing about 10.04 is that it will run on really old hardware, including non-PAE CPUs, which allows some otherwise obsolete machines to be used as the offline/cold storage piece of the Armory solution. (Devices like IBM ThinkPads from the Windows 98 and Windows 2000 era.) Because 12.04 switched over to using the PAE Linux kernel by default, it is non-trivial to get it to boot on a non-PAE CPU, so removing 10.04 support would probably, as a practical matter, reduce the universe of "spare" hardware that could be used for the Armory cold storage wallet.

It does not really matter if the computer is never connected to the internet. However, 12.04 would have support for more devices. The main drawback with 10.04 is that it's not hosted on a very fast server anymore, and finding the ISO is not as straightforward as finding the 12.04.

Ubuntu 10.4 LTS support.
Installing armory_0.89.99.12-testing_i386.deb gives dependency error: libstdc++6 >= 4.6
On 10.4 LTS the most recent available is 4.4.3
Maybe more dependencies will give this error, but no tools available on this offline machine.

Ack, I should've labeled those better! Those are 12.04 installers. I am actually in the process right now of upgrading my release process to include 10.04 and 12.04 installers by default. AND name them appropriately! Sorry about that.

Part of 0.89.99.16-testing will be testing the new release scripts, which sign all the debs, create all the offlien bundles, tag and sign the git repo, and compute all the hashes and signs them. I'm hoping that once I get all the packages compiled and into one place, that it will be one command to do all that from the offline computer (with my GPG key password of course).

This whole release process used to take hours. Now CircusPeanut got me a painless NSIS install script integrated into MSVS, and with the automatic offline-bundling, getting from compile to signed-release may be a lot faster now.

Will have a 10.04 offline bundle for you tomorrow morning

I've been very pleased with 88.1 - no reason to update really - but got curious about the 0.89.99.14-testing version so downloaded it tonite to give it a spin. Wow this new version is fast - once installed with an up to date blockchain it took less than a minute to start up. And RAM used is minimal. Color me impressed:)

Please help me find the disappearing-tx bug!
I'll give 0.2 BTC to someone who finds the pattern!

I need your help with this one! I'm going insane trying to figure out the pattern behind this bug. 90% of my tx go through fine. It seems to only happen when I'm not paying attention.

FOUND! Bounty off.

Sadly, I actually found this bug yesterday, but thought that its behavior would occur 100% of the time I did some specific behavior. When I tested and it didn't happen, I assumed that wasn't actually a bug (or the bug). It turns out that was it after all, but it only triggers under very specific, infrequent conditions. Frustrating!

Also, CircusPeanut fixed the restore-backup entry fields misbehaving (putting the cursor in the middle of the input mask fields, instead of at the beginning). That should remove some extra confusion (a lot of people got really tripped up by that!).

Will be attending to some of the things found in the bug-bounty thread and then will release a final testing version before the official 0.90-beta release. There are still problems with the release, but at some point I have to just release it. And this version has more than enough usability to replace 0.88.1 on the website. Exciting!
