Dear beloved Bitcoin Core Developers,

It has been exactly 238 days since you last released a stable Mac bitcoin-qt client (version 0.7.2 on December 14, 2012).  Please don't forget about us fruit disciples!


DrahogErusiel,

My advice to you and all other Mac users: downgrade your bitcoin-qt to v0.7.2 (with the "May 15 workaround" (http://bitcoin.org/en/alert/2013-03-15-upgrade-deadline)) unless you want to be "rebuilding the block database" FREQUENTLY.
