Great news
Remember it's still version 1.01, though - this kind of stuff will only get more intuitive/stable with each new release.

Nice!  That worked for me on my original computer if I deleted the wallet.dat.  Thanks.

Here's a candidate build (1.01-d), with slightly different connection values configured in interface.py, that you can try on your original computer.

Does that work better?

I tried deleting the wallet file on 0.60, 1.0, and 1.01-c.  It not working on this original computer.

However, I also tried another computer with Windows 7 Home Premium x64, and 1.01-c DID work.  Yay! 

Just downloaded and installed 1.01-c

Seems to be working, am connected to uncle-enzo.info

Great job,

Thanks

A new Windows build (1.01-c) is now available. It should fix the connection issue for new wallets. Could you try it?

Hi, we are investigating this issue with 1.0.
0.60 should work if you delete and re-create your wallet file (electrum.dat) -
please could you try?

I can't get Electrum 0.60 or 1.0 to connect to the network on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64.  I have PyCrypto 2.1 (Python 2.7).  I don't know what other information would be useful.

It's the same issue that's been reported before where Electrum can't connect to the network.

Upon launch, I get a window says,

If I close that window, I can get the seed, create a password, and then get to the main window.  However, in the lower left hand corner of the main window, it says "Connecting" then "Not connected."

Switching servers does not help.

I added Electrum to my trusted programs list in Kaspersky Internet Security, but that didn't help either.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Windows Builds for 1.0 are now available!

Note that there are few apparent changes in this release.
See this post for more info.

Thanks to all contributors and donators for their support!

Sure, me too  

Thanks a bunch but you dont need to hurry. I prefer a stable version.

I still don't have a Windows computer, so didn't plan to do that before September,
but as you're one of my top donators, I will see if I can borrow my dad's
laptop, secure it properly, and make an early 1.0 portable build

Hi, I agree with your feedback. Hopefully these issues will be addressed in the near future.

Regarding copying an address from the history view, you can already do so, by first editing the
address field, then right-clicking on the address. I admit this should be made more intuitive though.

Also, if you enable expert mode (in the settings), you get a new column with individual address balances in the "contacts" & "receive" tabs.

flatfly: Could you eventually make a portable version of the new electrum client?

Overall I like the client and interface and performance way better than multibit and satoshi client.  There are a couple things that need to be fixed however.  The transaction order for pending transactions is not correct, which was extremely irritating when I was playing satoshidice.  I would send a payment, and receive one back from satoshidice, and not be able to tell if I had won because the transactions would not appear at the top of the history list.  They would appear in some random spot farther down.  

Also, there is a problem with being able to copy addresses on the history screen and identify them on the contact list.  For example, I wanted to send my friend a few bitcoins to his phone from my laptop, so I had him send me .01 bitcoins so I could get an address to send back to his phone.  The .01 arrived, and I could see it in my history list, but by right clicking it I could not copy his address, as i can with the satoshi client.  So I went to the contacts tab, but it was just a big wall of addresses because I had not labeled anything.  This took me a while to figure out and is a usability problem.  Same thing when I click on receive, its just a big wall of addresses with no easy way to tell which ones haven't been used before or generate a new address.

One more thing is that when it doesnt connect at startup and I go to select a different server, it doesnt try to connect immediately unless i restart the client.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not too familiar with amazon's offering, but will check it out.

What about having a amazon windows instance?

That would be my end-game too, there are already build scripts for OSX and a PIP install for Linux. I will see if I can get a python dev env on Windows setup so I can try building a Windows binary.

Hi, I have no Windows system available for now (my computer died on me), but
hopefully I will get a new PC in the first week of September and then I will be able to
make new builds.

That said, if you do have some time to make Windows builds as well, go ahead

I think it would be nice to eventually have several people working on the binary creation
and distribution, documenting the build process so it is easily repeatable by any user.    

Are you still working on brining out new versions Flatfly? We are about to release a new version and I would love there to be a easy to download windows version of it to. If not I would like to know so I can try to build an .exe myself :}
