Binaries for Bitcoin version 0.3.20.01 are available at:
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.20/

There were several changes and additions to the JSON remote-procedure-call interface;
there are no significant user interface changes.  See:
  http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3473.msg48839#msg48839
... for details.

This version does fix one significant denial-of-service attack (earlier versions of
bitcoin could be caused to crash due to running out of memory by a remote
attacker).

Thank you for that. Freshmeat.net release submitted.

Thank you for new release! I have two little questions:

- Windows build use little different skin than previous version. Is this a mistake or intention? Nothing which I really care about, I just noticed.
- Is there a reason why "bitcoin.exe -datadir=c:\bitcoin2 -nolisten" don't start second client instance?

Is this the version for everybody to move to now, or are we still testing? I ask because the version on the bitcoin.org homepage has not been changed.

First:  the bitcoin.org homepage links will be updated as soon as sirius has a chance to wake up, read his email, and make the changes.


A different skin for the Windows build is from upgrading the wxWidgets used to build (2.9.1 instead of 2.9.0).

Did anybody test the -nolisten with the GUI bitcoin on Windows?
I believe there is windows-specific code for checking to see if another bitcoin is running that looks at window titles; file an issue at github if -nolisten isn't doing what you expect.

Thanks for the answer. I think that -nolisten does what it should -> does not open listening port. I don't know if -listen directive should also turn off the window title checks...

I created ticket #75 (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/75) for this.

Gavin, you did not recompile Bitcoin for Windows, right?
But bitcoind is 0.3.20.00 and requires MSVC libraries. :-\

Anyway, congratulations on the first community release! :D

Did I put the wrong bitcoind.exe in the Windows exe and/or zip?

D'oh!

Companies I've worked for in the past had a rule-- programmers were not allowed to test their own code.  I'm still looking for people to volunteer to be dedicated quality assurance testers (and a quality assurance manager to organize them) to help keep this type of thing from slipping through.

Oops, I thought that you know about that.

The zip file has both versions in it, the exe file has only the old 0.3.20.00 version.
Also getinfo says that new versions are 0.3.20.00, but I think they are 0.3.20.01.

I'll be re-releasing updated windows .zip and .exe files later today to fix these issues.
And this time I'll triple-check versions on everything.

How about a checklist for all the things you need to check?

RE: a checklist:

For the next release, I will write a script that does all of the build/package steps.  I'll let the computer run the checklist for me... and the whole process should be much quicker, easier and smoother.

RE: 0.3.20.01

Fixed builds are at sourceforge, named 'bitcoin-0.3.20.01' to try to avoid confusion.
The mac build was 0.3.20.00 also; I am going to update that .zip when we get a .01 build, and I think I'll rename the
linux downloads to be consistent and, again, to try to avoid confusion.

Updated Mac build is on Sourceforge, as is a PGP-signed README.txt.

I also just changed the links on the front page of the wiki; the links at bitcoin.org will be updated as soon as sirius and I are awake at the same time again  :)
