Title: >>>> Latest release question on Bitcoin-Qt
Post by: AnonMZ on December 07, 2013, 06:26:24 PM
Hi folks,
I’m downloading the Bitcoin-Qt from http://bitcoin.org/en/download

On that page it shows version Latest version : 0.8.5
When I check the help tab/about on the GUI it shows :
This program uses Qt version 4.8.3

How can I get the latest 0.8.5 ? what am I missing?
Thanks

ps: total weeks to download 256

Check 'About Bitcoin' to get the client version.  QT is a cross-platform GUI development tool which is used by Bitcoin-Qt to provide the user interface.

Ok, got it

Thanks for the quick replies !

It seems as the weeks get closer to recent, it takes more time to download.

Should I wait for the next 0.8.6 version ? as shown here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=359963.0
