Now that 0.8.0 is tested and out the door, please help test some of the stable maintenance versions
These are
bugfix-only releases.
Please report bugs
by replying to this forum thread. Note that the 0.4.x wxBitcoin GUI client is no longer maintained nor supported. If someone would like to step up to maintain this, they should contact Luke-Jr.
Also note that
CVE-2012-4682 and CVE-2012-4683 are not fixed in 0.4.x: 0.4.x did not have any anti-DoS system at all, and that is not changed with this release. If you want to be secure against this class of DoS attacks (network flooding of invalid data to verify), upgrade to a newer version!
As there will now be 6 stable branches, I am announcing the following end-of-life (EOL) schedule.
- 0.4.x - EOL by 2013-11-21 (2 years after 0.5.0 released)
- 0.5.x - EOL by 2013-03-30 (1 year after 0.6.0 released)
- 0.6.0.x - EOL now: this is the last release of 0.6.0.x
- 0.6.x - EOL by 2013-11-21 (over 1 year after 0.7.0 released)
- 0.7.x - EOL by 2014-02-18 (1 year after 0.8.0 released)
- 0.8.x - Long-Term Support (LTS): 2-3 years after 0.9.0 released
These are
not guarantees. If you need me to maintain any branch longer, please let me know ASAP.
