Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind version 0.8.4 released, fixes critical DoS vulnerability

[The 4ner]

Thanks!

[Plissken]

Gracias Gavin!

[metacoin]

Thanks everyone.

I am unable to compile 0.8.4 in Debian 7. I checked out 0.8.3 and was able to compile with no issues. When I switch back to 0.8.4 I get the following:

Your paste indicates you are building the development version (master, aka pre-0.9), not 0.8.4 release.

Your 0.9 build fails due to lack of the protobufs compiler, "protoc"

You want to check out the v0.8.4 branch.

I originally just git cloned https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git and got the same error.  I will try again later by specifically checking out 0.8.4.

When will the update come in through the Ubuntu PPA repository?

The current version I am running (0.8.3) seems to have gotten stuck while downloading block 252623.

Thanks!

Usually the maintainer of the PPA is very active. I'd say just look at it tomorrow.
