Ugh I hate the mandatory downloads..
There is nothing mandatory here. Indeed. "Mandatory" updates are accompanied by an alert broadcast.

My OS is Windows. Which of the two ''win32'' should I download? The red or the green one? They have different size. Thanks

The .exe one is an installer (which adds shortcuts among other things). You can unpack the other one to a directory and run it without installing it.

I have one more favour to ask. Apart from Bitcoin-Qt there is also BitcoinD (from what I understand). Can someone post a screenshot of BitcoinD's interface or how BitcoinD looks like?
Thanks

On Ubuntu/Unity, the menu and icon still don't work. That makes it severely broken, because you know – the menu bar is missing entirely.

... Fee Policy changes
The default fee for low-priority transactions is lowered from 0.0005 BTC (for each 1,000 bytes in the transaction; an average transaction is about 500 bytes) to 0.0001 BTC.
Payments (transaction outputs) of 0.543 times the minimum relay fee (0.00005430 BTC) are now considered 'non-standard', because storing them costs the network more than they are worth and spending them will usually cost their owner more in transaction fees than they are worth.
Non-standard transactions are not relayed across the network, are not included in blocks by most miners, and will not show up in your wallet until they are included in a block.
The default fee policy can be overridden using the -mintxfee and -minrelaytxfee command-line options, but note that we intend to replace the hard-coded fees with code that automatically calculates and suggests appropriate fees in the 0.9 release and note that if you set a fee policy significantly different from the rest of the network your transactions may never confirm. ...
Gavin, was it only mintxfee that changed in this release? In other words: are mintxfee and minrelaytxfee the same now? Also, the minimum allowed output will gradually invalidate most alternative client implementations, time to start coding. I guess that the policy for change-back-to-self worth less than 5420 satoshis should be to remove the change output add it to the miner fee. In general I think it is time to update https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fee

One issue that seems to persist here is the lack of a menu for Bitcoin-Qt after installation in Ubuntu unity for example in Ubuntu 12.04.

Sure this isn't a UI/Unity issue? Did you mouse over to the very, very top-left of the screen, where the panel usually lives?

It is an issue on how Bitcoin-Qt integrates with Unity and as the github issue shows this has been going on for over a year. In fact since Unity was introduced in Ubuntu. Mousing over the top left of the screen does not display the menu in Bitcoin-Qt. That is exactly the issue.

Ooooh love the new splash: Still says beta though 64-bit version is working in Linux perfectly! Nice I was hoping that they would improve the wallet image on start up it was ugly looking TBH. Also, I'm glad that the disappearing GUI on Mac OS X has been resolved thanks a bunch Gavin!

FTFY FTFY again. no, unity is not broken, all other QT apps over here work as they should. it's just this one that makes troubles. also, since I smell some unity bashing, you should consider changing your attitude. unity is the default UI on the most widely installed linux distribution. it should be a high level of concern that it is broken for so many systems for such a long time.

I get the same Ubuntu problem when I first start up bitcoin-qt, but then I just close it and all the subsequent starts show the menu and icon.
