Title: Please build and test: bitcoin 0.3.20 Post by: Gavin Andresen on January 24, 2011, 04:57:16 PM Please checkout the git integration branch from:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin ... and help test. The new features that need testing are: -nolisten : https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11 -rescan : scan block chain for missing wallet transactions -printtoconsole : https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/37 RPC gettransaction details : https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/24 listtransactions new features : https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10 Bug fixes that also need testing: -maxconnections= : https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/42 RPC listaccounts minconf : https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27 RPC move, add time to output : https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21 ...and several improvements to --help output. This needs more testing on Windows! Please drop me a quick private message, email, or IRC message if you are able to do some testing. If you find bugs, please open an issue at: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues Title: Re: Please build and test: bitcoin 0.3.20 Post by: alkor on January 24, 2011, 06:43:27 PM Is there any information on what is new in this release? Any compelling reason to upgrade once the new version is released?

Title: Re: Please build and test: bitcoin 0.3.20 Post by: bitcoinex on January 25, 2011, 12:40:37 PM After first time run db seems to have changed and no longer work with the old (0.3.19) version. This is as planned?
Code: $ ./bitcoin-0.3.19/bin/32/bitcoin Title: Re: Please build and test: bitcoin 0.3.20 Post by: bitcoinex on January 25, 2011, 12:47:32 PM I am propose to add 'Build' section to build-unix.txt:
Code: Build Title: Re: Please build and test: bitcoin 0.3.20 Post by: bitcoinex on January 25, 2011, 01:35:17 PM wxWidget :(
Especially frustrating is what I do not need GUI Code: $ make -f makefile.unix $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.8 (lenny) Release: 5.0.8 Codename: lenny Title: Re: Please build and test: bitcoin 0.3.20 Post by: Gavin Andresen on January 25, 2011, 02:31:32 PM After first time run db seems to have changed and no longer work with the old (0.3.19) version. This is as planned? You must have compiled against a newer version of Berkeley DB, and it uses a new log file format. Try removing the ~/.bitcoin/log.* files before running the older bitcoin version. I changed build-unix.txt as you suggested. Title: Re: Please build and test: bitcoin 0.3.20 Post by: Gavin Andresen on January 25, 2011, 02:36:34 PM Will be -rescan option in GUI? No. Unless you're changing your wallet outside of bitcoin, rescanning isn't necessary. It would be nice if the GUI had "backup wallet" and "merge backed up wallet with current wallet" options-- the "merge wallet" would need do a rescan. Maybe next release somebody will implement those features...

Title: Re: Please build and test: bitcoin 0.3.20 Post by: FreeMoney on January 26, 2011, 01:22:51 PM Will be -rescan option in GUI?

It would be nice if the GUI had "backup wallet" and "merge backed up wallet with current wallet" options-- the "merge wallet" would need do a rescan. Maybe next release somebody will implement those features... It might still be nice to have a rescan button in the options somewhere. If someone who wasn't up on all this switches a wallet in from a backup or to a new machine they're going to be all ??? ??? If there was a "click here after you switch wallets" button that would probably save a good number of people a brief heart attack.

It shouldn't even need a click. The client should check on starting for a new wallet. I would like to see a wallet subdirectory that you could drop any number of wallet files into, and the client would recognise all of them when starting up.

Title: Re: Fatal error: can't create obj/util.o: No such file or directory Post by: Gavin Andresen on March 02, 2011, 04:50:00 PM The only things in my obj dir are cpu.o and sha.o I did install wxwidgets and I'm running on Ubuntu 10.10 ... and you get 'fatal error, can't create' when you try to compile bitcoin? Sounds like your obj/ dir is not writeable by whichever user you're using to compile. |
