Title: Bitcoin 0.9.0 FINAL is available [Changelog] [Download] Post by: rme on March 19, 2014, 11:08:47 AM THIS IS NOT THE LATEST RELEASE OF BITCOIN CORE NEW RELEASE: 0.9.1 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=562400.0 The Core Developers of Bitcoin released the 0.9.0 FINAL of Bitcoin Core (aka Bitcoin QT). DOWNLOAD: https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.0/bitcoin-0.9.0-linux.tar.gz https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.0/bitcoin-0.9.0-macosx.dmg https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.0/bitcoin-0.9.0-win.zip https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.0/bitcoin-0.9.0-win32-setup.exe https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.0/bitcoin-0.9.0-win64-setup.exe Code: 15616baea0640277c81a8ca4d3e0d963834b8a7d bitcoin-0.9.0-linux.tar.gz This is a Final Version, but its the same as 0.9.0rc3 Sources: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.9.0/ https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.0/README.txt Bitcoin Core version 0.9.0 is now available from: https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.0/ This is a release candidate for a new major version. A major version brings both new features and bug fixes. Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues How to Upgrade -------------- If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), uninstall all earlier versions of Bitcoin, then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux). If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time you run 0.9.0 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed of your machine. On Windows, do not forget to uninstall all earlier versions of the Bitcoin client first, especially if you are switching to the 64-bit version. Windows 64-bit installer ------------------------- New in 0.9.0 is the Windows 64-bit version of the client. There have been frequent reports of users running out of virtual memory on 32-bit systems during the initial sync. Because of this it is recommended to install the 64-bit version if your system supports it. NOTE: Release candidate 2 Windows binaries are not code-signed; use PGP and the SHA256SUMS.asc file to make sure your binaries are correct. In the final 0.9.0 release, Windows setup.exe binaries will be code-signed. OSX 10.5 / 32-bit no longer supported ------------------------------------- 0.9.0 drops support for older Macs. The minimum requirements are now: * A 64-bit-capable CPU (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3696); * Mac OS 10.6 or later (see https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1633). Downgrading warnings -------------------- The 'chainstate' for this release is not always compatible with previous releases, so if you run 0.9 and then decide to switch back to a 0.8.x release you might get a blockchain validation error when starting the old release (due to 'pruned outputs' being omitted from the index of unspent transaction outputs). Running the old release with the -reindex option will rebuild the chainstate data structures and correct the problem. Also, the first time you run a 0.8.x release on a 0.9 wallet it will rescan the blockchain for missing spent coins, which will take a long time (tens of minutes on a typical machine). Rebranding to Bitcoin Core --------------------------- To reduce confusion between Bitcoin-the-network and Bitcoin-the-software we have renamed the reference client to Bitcoin Core. Autotools build system ----------------------- For 0.9.0 we switched to an autotools-based build system instead of individual (q)makefiles. Using the standard "./autogen.sh; ./configure; make" to build Bitcoin-Qt and bitcoind makes it easier for experienced open source developers to contribute to the project. Be sure to check doc/build-*.md for your platform before building from source. Bitcoin-cli ------------- Another change in the 0.9 release is moving away from the bitcoind executable functioning both as a server and as a RPC client. The RPC client functionality ("tell the running bitcoin daemon to do THIS") was split into a separate executable, 'bitcoin-cli'. The RPC client code will eventually be removed from bitcoind, but will be kept for backwards compatibility for a release or two. `walletpassphrase` RPC ----------------------- The behavior of the `walletpassphrase` RPC when the wallet is already unlocked has changed between 0.8 and 0.9. The 0.8 behavior of `walletpassphrase` is to fail when the wallet is already unlocked: > walletpassphrase 1000 walletunlocktime = now + 1000 > walletpassphrase 10 Error: Wallet is already unlocked (old unlock time stays) The new behavior of `walletpassphrase` is to set a new unlock time overriding the old one: > walletpassphrase 1000 walletunlocktime = now + 1000 > walletpassphrase 10 walletunlocktime = now + 10 (overriding the old unlock time) Transaction malleability-related fixes -------------------------------------- This release contains a few fixes for transaction ID (TXID) malleability issues: - -nospendzeroconfchange command-line option, to avoid spending zero-confirmation change - IsStandard() transaction rules tightened to prevent relaying and mining of mutated transactions - Additional information in listtransactions/gettransaction output to report wallet transactions that conflict with each other because they spend the same outputs. - Bug fixes to the getbalance/listaccounts RPC commands, which would report incorrect balances for double-spent (or mutated) transactions. - New option: -zapwallettxes to rebuild the wallet's transaction information Transaction Fees ---------------- This release drops the default fee required to relay transactions across the network and for miners to consider the transaction in their blocks to 0.01mBTC per kilobyte. Note that getting a transaction relayed across the network does NOT guarantee that the transaction will be accepted by a miner; by default, miners fill their blocks with 50 kilobytes of high-priority transactions, and then with 700 kilobytes of the highest-fee-per-kilobyte transactions. The minimum relay/mining fee-per-kilobyte may be changed with the minrelaytxfee option. Note that previous releases incorrectly used the mintxfee setting to determine which low-priority transactions should be considered for inclusion in blocks. The wallet code still uses a default fee for low-priority transactions of 0.1mBTC per kilobyte. During periods of heavy transaction volume, even this fee may not be enough to get transactions confirmed quickly; the mintxfee option may be used to override the default. 0.9.0 Release notes ======================= RPC: - New notion of 'conflicted' transactions, reported as confirmations: -1 - 'listreceivedbyaddress' now provides tx ids - Add raw transaction hex to 'gettransaction' output - Updated help and tests for 'getreceivedby(account|address)' - In 'getblock', accept 2nd 'verbose' parameter, similar to getrawtransaction, but defaulting to 1 for backward compatibility - Add 'verifychain', to verify chain database at runtime - Add 'dumpwallet' and 'importwallet' RPCs - 'keypoolrefill' gains optional size parameter - Add 'getbestblockhash', to return tip of best chain - Add 'chainwork' (the total work done by all blocks since the genesis block) to 'getblock' output - Make RPC password resistant to timing attacks - Clarify help messages and add examples - Add 'getrawchangeaddress' call for raw transaction change destinations - Reject insanely high fees by default in 'sendrawtransaction' - Add RPC call 'decodescript' to decode a hex-encoded transaction script - Make 'validateaddress' provide redeemScript - Add 'getnetworkhashps' to get the calculated network hashrate - New RPC 'ping' command to request ping, new 'pingtime' and 'pingwait' fields in 'getpeerinfo' output - Adding new 'addrlocal' field to 'getpeerinfo' output - Add verbose boolean to 'getrawmempool' - Add rpc command 'getunconfirmedbalance' to obtain total unconfirmed balance - Explicitly ensure that wallet is unlocked in `importprivkey` - Add check for valid keys in `importprivkey` Command-line options: - New option: -nospendzeroconfchange to never spend unconfirmed change outputs - New option: -zapwallettxes to rebuild the wallet's transaction information - Rename option '-tor' to '-onion' to better reflect what it does - Add '-disablewallet' mode to let bitcoind run entirely without wallet (when built with wallet) - Update default '-rpcsslciphers' to include TLSv1.2 - make '-logtimestamps' default on and rework help-message - RPC client option: '-rpcwait', to wait for server start - Remove '-logtodebugger' - Allow `-noserver` with bitcoind Block-chain handling and storage: - Update leveldb to 1.15 - Check for correct genesis (prevent cases where a datadir from the wrong network is accidentally loaded) - Allow txindex to be removed and add a reindex dialog - Log aborted block database rebuilds - Store orphan blocks in serialized form, to save memory - Limit the number of orphan blocks in memory to 750 - Fix non-standard disconnected transactions causing mempool orphans - Add a new checkpoint at block 279,000 Wallet: - Bug fixes and new regression tests to correctly compute the balance of wallets containing double-spent (or mutated) transactions - Store key creation time. Calculate whole-wallet birthday. - Optimize rescan to skip blocks prior to birthday - Let user select wallet file with -wallet=foo.dat - Consider generated coins mature at 101 instead of 120 blocks - Improve wallet load time - Don't count txins for priority to encourage sweeping - Don't create empty transactions when reading a corrupted wallet - Fix rescan to start from beginning after importprivkey - Only create signatures with low S values Mining: - Increase default -blockmaxsize/prioritysize to 750K/50K - 'getblocktemplate' does not require a key to create a block template - Mining code fee policy now matches relay fee policy Protocol and network: - Drop the fee required to relay a transaction to 0.01mBTC per kilobyte - Send tx relay flag with version - New 'reject' P2P message (BIP 0061, see https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/7079034 for draft) - Dump addresses every 15 minutes instead of 10 seconds - Relay OP_RETURN data TxOut as standard transaction type - Remove CENT-output free transaction rule when relaying - Lower maximum size for free transaction creation - Send multiple inv messages if mempool.size > MAX_INV_SZ - Split MIN_PROTO_VERSION into INIT_PROTO_VERSION and MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION - Do not treat fFromMe transaction differently when broadcasting - Process received messages one at a time without sleeping between messages - Improve logging of failed connections - Bump protocol version to 70002 - Add some additional logging to give extra network insight - Added new DNS seed from bitcoinstats.com Validation: - Log reason for non-standard transaction rejection - Prune provably-unspendable outputs, and adapt consistency check for it. - Detect any sufficiently long fork and add a warning - Call the -alertnotify script when we see a long or invalid fork - Fix multi-block reorg transaction resurrection - Reject non-canonically-encoded serialization sizes - Reject dust amounts during validation - Accept nLockTime transactions that finalize in the next block Build system: - Switch to autotools-based build system - Build without wallet by passing `--disable-wallet` to configure, this removes the BerkeleyDB dependency - Upgrade gitian dependencies (libpng, libz, libupnpc, boost, openssl) to more recent versions - Windows 64-bit build support - Solaris compatibility fixes - Check integrity of gitian input source tarballs - Enable full GCC Stack-smashing protection for all OSes GUI: - Switch to Qt 5.2.0 for Windows build - Add payment request (BIP 0070) support - Improve options dialog - Show transaction fee in new send confirmation dialog - Add total balance in overview page - Allow user to choose data directory on first start, when data directory is missing, or when the -choosedatadir option is passed - Save and restore window positions - Add vout index to transaction id in transactions details dialog - Add network traffic graph in debug window - Add open URI dialog - Add Coin Control Features - Improve receive coins workflow: make the 'Receive' tab into a form to request payments, and move historical address list functionality to File menu. - Rebrand to `Bitcoin Core` - Move initialization/shutdown to a thread. This prevents "Not responding" messages during startup. Also show a window during shutdown. - Don't regenerate autostart link on every client startup - Show and store message of normal bitcoin:URI - Fix richtext detection hang issue on very old Qt versions - OS X: Make use of the 10.8+ user notification center to display Growl-like notifications - OS X: Added NSHighResolutionCapable flag to Info.plist for better font rendering on Retina displays. - OS X: Fix bitcoin-qt startup crash when clicking dock icon - Linux: Fix Gnome bitcoin: URI handler Miscellaneous: - Add Linux script (contrib/qos/tc.sh) to limit outgoing bandwidth - Add '-regtest' mode, similar to testnet but private with instant block generation with 'setgenerate' RPC. - Add 'linearize.py' script to contrib, for creating bootstrap.dat - Add separate bitcoin-cli client Credits -------- Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release: - Andrey - Ashley Holman - b6393ce9-d324-4fe1-996b-acf82dbc3d53 - bitsofproof - Brandon Dahler - Calvin Tam - Christian Decker - Christian von Roques - Christopher Latham - Chuck - coblee - constantined - Cory Fields - Cozz Lovan - daniel - Daniel Larimer - David Hill - Dmitry Smirnov - Drak - Eric Lombrozo - fanquake - fcicq - Florin - frewil - Gavin Andresen - Gregory Maxwell - gubatron - Guillermo Céspedes Tabárez - Haakon Nilsen - HaltingState - Han Lin Yap - harry - Ian Kelling - Jeff Garzik - Johnathan Corgan - Jonas Schnelli - Josh Lehan - Josh Triplett - Julian Langschaedel - Kangmo - Lake Denman - Luke Dashjr - Mark Friedenbach - Matt Corallo - Michael Bauer - Michael Ford - Michagogo - Midnight Magic - Mike Hearn - Nils Schneider - Noel Tiernan - Olivier Langlois - patrick s - Patrick Strateman - paveljanik - Peter Todd - phantomcircuit - phelixbtc - Philip Kaufmann - Pieter Wuille - Rav3nPL - R E Broadley - regergregregerrge - Robert Backhaus - Roman Mindalev - Rune K.

Yes (the wallet and blockchain db are identical), but not at the same time, because the files would be locked by the first one launched. But why would you want to run both versions? It's the exact same program, just compiled for a different CPU architecture.

Same question for wallet.dat. Of course, I've already backed up wallet.dat, but it would be nice to know. Uninstall does not touch your data files. It just uninstalls the software. Which is all that is needed.No need to mess with your data files at all (though backing up the wallet is a good idea always) Do need to uninstall 32 bit version, before installing 64 bit version? You don't *need* to, but it's recommended just in case to avoid issues.Quote Also, can have both 32 & 64 bit version in a same pc accessing same wallet? Sure, as long as they're not running at the same time.Also I am trying the ubuntu PPA but I am getting the older version instead of v0.9 !! Then you need to wait for the PPA to be updated. It's updated seperately.Title: Re: Bitcoin 0.9.0 FINAL is available [Changelog] [Download] Post by: Luke-Jr on March 19, 2014, 08:07:11 PM +1 to always keeping an up-to-date backup of your wallet!

Seems like that flag was not turned off? This was a release process bug; I re-built/signed/uploaded the OSX .dmg to fix it (and updated the SHASUMS files). The warning is harmless, and no code was changed, so if you don't want to re-download and install you don't have to. Thanks to lots of hard work from Luke Dashjr and Cory Fields we should (fingers crossed!) have deterministic OSX builds working before the next release, which will make this kind of error impossible.

Same problem on (stock) Debian. Bitcoin core doesn't run out-of-the-box: Code: /opt/bitcoin/bin/64/bitcoind: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /opt/bitcoin/bin/64/bitcoind) Yeah, that was slightly annoying. Debian Stable uses glibc 2.13 (which was enough for the Linux build of Bitcoin 0.8.6). Maybe this is a sign that I should be joining the ranks of those that build from source each time. For now, I'll just use the more recent version of glibc available in Testing. Here's a quick guide for anyone wanting to do the same: Add: Code: deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ testing main Add: Code: APT::Default-Release "stable"; Run: Code: apt-get update Title: Re: Bitcoin 0.9.0 FINAL is available [Changelog] [Download] Post by: Luke-Jr on March 20, 2014, 12:06:10 AM An Open Letter and Plea to the Bitcoin Core Development Team： https://www.counterparty.co/plea-bitcoin-core-development-team/ Your threat to abuse multisig is no different than a thief telling his victim "leave your windows open for me or I'll break them".Even in the rare cases where some data storage is needed, 40 bytes is more than enough for reasonable uses. The only arguments for more, always come down to "we want to force people to store our data against their will". Stop abusing Bitcoin. Thanks.

Where can I report them? The translations in 0.9.0 release is not the latest on Transifex. I don't understand why the release team don't pull the latest into the release, especially some strings are just replaced/updated several weeks before the release. It annoys me as a translator because it happens several times, and I see half-baked translations in a release. It could be better that the release schedule includes a period to call for translations, so developers have a deadline to update strings to be localized, and translators have a deadline to finish their work.

Yes, you can get rid of that one, but it's just a hard link to a file in the blocks folder, so deleting it doesn't actually free up any space.i think i'm seeing 2 blockchains in mine, one in folder 'blocks' that is current and an older chain at the root of %appdata%/bitcoin that stopped updating over a year ago, around 6 gigs. is it safe to dump it?

How to uninstall the old client? Just delete the folder and the appdata? Do I have to delete the blocks also? (btw.: I redirected the block-directory, can someone tell me the command line again?)

Your transactions are on blockchain. Your wallet file has your private key/s. When the client reads a tx on blockchain for which it has a private key, it lists them. That's what you're asking about?You can't delete your tx's from blockchain. You can delete your wallet file and get a new one, but even Satoshi himself said that you should keep your wallets around. Title: Re: Bitcoin 0.9.0 FINAL is available [Changelog] [Download] Post by: GrapeApe on March 20, 2014, 07:20:59 PM Is there a way to delete transaction history? Well if you must just move your current wallet.dat file to another directory and start QT when it doesn't find a wallet.dat file it will create a new one then you can make note of the newly created address and switch your old wallet.dat file back in there making sure to make a backup of the new one and not to get things mixed up and screwed up and then send all the coins to the new address. Don't get confused and mix things up you can loose your coins..... Edit: To echo what Canary said once the transaction is entered into the blockchain it's there forever.

For example I wanted to teach my parents about how to use Bitcoin, they think that they are Tech savvy, the truth is that my father manage to screw up the PC all the time, he thinks that he is a hardcore computer scientist and end up messing system files all the time. and then he go with a new installation without asking if anyone have important files on the PC, he also offers "help" to his friends...you can only imagine what can happen if they all have Bitcoin-qt. I can imagine how can he lose all the bitcoins just by making a transaction and not backing up the wallet, one approach is to introduce these users to Armory, but I think this can be implemented in Bitcoin-qt because usually this is the first software a newbie installs. I've also seen few users asking where their bitcoin went after system re-installation. The other kind of users rely on exchanges to save their coins, for them it is easier and less work to do, people are still used to the old fashion system when you leave your funds in a bank and they secure/manage them for you, this goes against some of the concepts of Bitcoin. I don't know if this was brought up before, but I wish if Devs do look into it. Title: Re: Bitcoin 0.9.0 FINAL is available [Changelog] [Download] Post by: wumpus on March 21, 2014, 01:02:02 PM One thing I would suggest for devs, while I like the feature of new addresses and change addresses I don't know why cant we make this as an option for advanced users only. Please don't recommend bitcoin-qt to non-tech-savvy users! To run it safely, you need enough backup discipline.Ideally, deterministic wallets would be implemented and only a single backup would be needed at the beginning, but we're really short on developers that have deep enough knowledge about the wallet system and dare making changes to it.

Yes that is normal you only need to redownload/reindex the blockchain if you were using 0.7.2 or earlier. That has NOT been the case for me. I was using 0.8.6 and I got a message this morning from bitcoin-qt that it's going to have to reindex the entire blockchain. It's telling me now that it's 51 weeks behind, I'm really not happy about this being necessary. I'm pretty sure 0.8.6 was the most recent stable version before 0.9.0, which would mean that everyone using Windows 7 is having to reindex. Granted, I did not uninstall the old version like this poster did, but it looked like the installer said all I had to do was turn off bitcoin-qt, not uninstalling it completely. So I followed the directions.

I suppose that's possible, it does take longer to boot up than it used to, although it's a 2.5 year old computer, so that's to be expected to some degree. I did just run disk defragmenter the other day though, and it said my hard drive was only 1% fragmented. Really the only program that's giving me occasional problems lately is a Firefox and I just figure that's because I have eight addons running, and probably about a thousand bookmarks by now. Is anyone else having this problem with more recent version of bitcoin-qt? It's up to 22 weeks behind now, so at the rate it's going, it should finish by the end of the day, so it's not the end of the world, just means the hard drive is getting a lot more activity than normal.

Sorry does this mean that bitcoin-qt 0.9.0 doesn't automatically access the .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf file from the users home folder like 0.8.6 does? Thanks, Title: Re: Bitcoin 0.9.0 FINAL is available [Changelog] [Download] Post by: Radi777 on March 22, 2014, 04:48:14 AM I was using 0.8.4 before.I uninstalled it using windows uninstaller.restarted comp.Then installed 0.9.0..Its up and running already with all info from previous version.Is this normal?I thought It was suppose to install the blockchain again? Yes that is normal you only need to redownload/reindex the blockchain if you were using 0.7.2 or earlier. That has NOT been the case for me. I was using 0.8.6 and I got a message this morning from bitcoin-qt that it's going to have to reindex the entire blockchain. It's telling me now that it's 51 weeks behind, I'm really not happy about this being necessary. I'm pretty sure 0.8.6 was the most recent stable version before 0.9.0, which would mean that everyone using Windows 7 is having to reindex. Granted, I did not uninstall the old version like this poster did, but it looked like the installer said all I had to do was turn off bitcoin-qt, not uninstalling it completely. So I followed the directions. I turned it off, uninstalled it and then installed the new one...no problems, didn't index anything, it didn't even need to sync because I was already up to date on the 0.8.6.

I think the requirement to uninstall previous version are because of renaming to Bitcoin Core.

Can anyone explain the thinking with new receive tab? I much prefer just generating a new address and then maybe adding a label.

Thanks for the confirmation. In future versions shouldn't the Keys be under Bitcoin-core not Bitcoin-Qt for consistency? Quote Quote I wonder why bitcoind doesn't check for the existence of the same registry key for consistency? Because QSettings is a Qt-only feature. Bitcoind cannot do anything with the registry at all, it doesn't link to Qt.Good to know. I wonder though if this could be refactored to provide a more consistent behavior between the two clients. For non-windows specific options wouldn't it make more sense to just write those to the bitcoin.conf. The GUI client already reads the conf file for the presence of these options. As an example, setting the pay tx fee option in the bitcoin-core to 0.1 mBTC GUI client adds nTransactionFee key to the registry however if the same user now starts up bitcoind it will use the default fee (0) because there is no entry in the bitcoin.conf. Since an RPC call can be made against either bitcoind or bitcoin-core (w/server=1 option) the outcome of an RPC call will depend on where it is made. Likewise if a fee of 0.2 mBTC is indicated in the bitcoin.conf then the client will still display 0.1 mBTC however the actual fee paid will be 0.2 mBTC. The client does provide a warning that the setting has been overriden but this isn't exactly user friendly or intuitive. Do you agree that keeping it DRY would be better? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself) Refactor bitcoin-core so that both bitcoind and bitcoin-core use the bitcoin.conf to store non client specific settings (i.e. data directory, tx fee, dbcache, proxy, etc). The registry would only be used for client specific settings (location of windows, units to display, minimize handling, etc). To be consistent that would also include the data directory however the registry can still be used indirectly by providing the location to the configuration file itself. 1) User launches bitcoin-core with no data directory created. 2) Wizard prompts user for location of data directory. 3) Create bitcoin.conf in directory is needed. 4) Set data directory in bitcoin.conf. 5) Add registry entry pointing to the bitcoin.conf On startup the client would check for existance of "ConfigFile" registry key and if present load the bitcoin.conf to determine the data directory and other non-client specific settings. Just something to think about to make the behavior of the GUI and deamon consistent. The other option is to simply stop bundling the two and treat them like independent applications. Title: Re: Bitcoin 0.9.0 FINAL is available [Changelog] [Download] Post by: wumpus on April 08, 2014, 10:17:29 AM Can anyone explain the thinking with new receive tab? I much prefer just generating a new address and then maybe adding a label. With the new tab you request a payment and that generates an address, the only way to distinguish between addresses is by an almost compulsory label (due to not seeing the address itself) why the change? Did it become any more difficult? You can (optionally) enter a label then click "Request payment". The new address is immediately shown in the window that appears. You can quickly copy the address with the "Copy address" button.It is also still perfectly possible to create new addresses the old way in the receiving addresses window, if you insist on doing that. Thanks for the confirmation. In future versions shouldn't the Keys be under Bitcoin-core not Bitcoin-Qt for consistency? Personally I think that's not worth the trouble of migrating. Though if you'd submit a pull request to do that and make sure that all the potential migration scenarios are covered, it would of course be accepted.Quote I wonder though if this could be refactored to provide a more consistent behavior between the two clients. For non-windows specific options wouldn't it make more sense to just write those to the bitcoin.conf. The GUI client already reads the conf file for the presence of these options. Writing to the bitcoin.conf would be inconsistent from a user viewpoint.It is a user-created configuration file and should only be touched by the user. Rewriting it, or any other tricks, would lose comments and formatting (or you'd have to go through a lot of trouble to preserve them, but it's fighting windmills). You don't see other daemons like apache suddenly rewriting their configuration... It would be an idea to generate an extra configuration file "bitcoin.conf.generated" which is read in addition to the main bitcoind.conf, but I'm not sure how that would help. The extra step registry -> generated config file -> bitcoind could introduce bugs. I do just realize that when the wallet is split off to a seperate executable (ie SPV mode), and we want to run a bitcoind in the background, we will have to do something with generated config files.

Thanks for replying. My point was not about difficulty it was about the thinking behind the change, yes the label is optional but there is no way to quickly distinguish between addresses (without clicking them) without a label. There isn't, as far as I can see, a way to do it the old way? I would consider the old way creating an address and then having those listed in the receiving tab with the address visible. From what I can see with the new release there is no way to have the address visible and thus my question.
