Ubuntu 10.4 LTS support.
Installing armory_0.89.99.12-testing_i386.deb gives dependency error: libstdc++6 >= 4.6
On 10.4 LTS the most recent available is 4.4.3
Maybe more dependencies will give this error, but no tools available on this offline machine.
Ack, I should've labeled those better! Those are 12.04 installers. I am actually in the process right now of upgrading my release process to include 10.04 and 12.04 installers by default. AND name them appropriately! Sorry about that. Part of 0.89.99. 16-testing will be testing the new release scripts, which sign all the debs, create all the offlien bundles, tag and sign the git repo, and compute all the hashes and signs them. I'm hoping that once I get all the packages compiled and into one place, that it will be one command to do all that from the offline computer (with my GPG key password of course). This whole release process used to take hours. Now CircusPeanut got me a painless NSIS install script integrated into MSVS, and with the automatic offline-bundling, getting from compile to signed-release may be a lot faster now. Will have a 10.04 offline bundle for you tomorrow morning  |

It does not really matter if the computer is never connected to the internet. However, 12.04 would have support for more devices. The main drawback with 10.04 is that it's not hosted on a very fast server anymore, and finding the ISO is not as straightforward as finding the 12.04. |

One nice thing about 10.04 is that it will run on really old hardware, including non-PAE CPUs, which allows some otherwise obsolete machines to be used as the offline/cold storage piece of the Armory solution. (Devices like IBM ThinkPads from the Windows 98 and Windows 2000 era.) Because 12.04 switched over to using the PAE Linux kernel by default, it is non-trivial to get it to boot on a non-PAE CPU, so removing 10.04 support would probably, as a practical matter, reduce the universe of "spare" hardware that could be used for the Armory cold storage wallet. |

Also... at this point a lot of people are using 10.04 for their offline computers, and I don't want to tell them "sorry, gotta destroy and rebuild your super-secure system...have fun!" (including one of my own offline systems ) |

That's why I like XP. I've made my offline setup secure. My online version is not, but probably more secure than most other XPs, 7s and 8s.

RELEASE SCRIPTS COMPLETE:These things are bad-ass. Not only do they sign everything, bundle everything, hash everything (offline), and then verify and upload everything to S3 (online), it prints out a bunch of forum-formatted and HTML links! Below I have raw copied the forum-formatted links here after a raw upload to S3. This may not be perfect [yet], but it's pretty darned close. Please download things, verify signatures, install and run, etc. The two things I'm not sure about: Vista support, and offline-bundles properly bundled! Please try it out!
Try 0.89.99.16-testing!
All installers have offline-signatures, directly in the debs, and in the hashes file Armory 0.89.99.16-testing for Windows Vista, 7, 8 (Both 32- and 64-bit) Armory 0.89.99.16-testing for Ubuntu/Debian 10.04-64bit Armory 0.89.99.16-testing for Ubuntu/Debian 10.04-32bit Armory 0.89.99.16-testing for Ubuntu/Debian 12.04-64bit Armory 0.89.99.16-testing for Ubuntu/Debian 12.04-32bit Armory 0.89.99.16-testing for Mac/OSX 10.8 and 10.9 Armory 0.89.99.16-testing Offline Bundle for Ubuntu/Debian 10.04-32bit Armory 0.89.99.16-testing Offline Bundle for Ubuntu/Debian 10.04-32bit Armory 0.89.99.16-testing Offline Bundle for Ubuntu/Debian 12.04-32bit Armory 0.89.99.16-testing Offline Bundle for Ubuntu/Debian 12.04-32bit Armory 0.89.99.16-testing: Signed hashes of all installers

So is this intended to be the "final testing version before the official 0.90-beta release"? |

Barring any showstopping issues, yes. I plan to have it posted alongside 0.88.1, and if someone has enough RAM, they can still use the old one which may be more reliable for now. But it seems that this version is working quite well for a lot of people, and 0.88.1 is getting more unreliable, so I have to release it sometime! Version 0.91 will be tons of polishing, bug fixes, unicode fixes, and optimizations. I expect that that version will edge 0.88.1 on reliability. |

Well, I know you posted Mac OS X 10.8 & 10.9. And I am meager 10.7.5. But things are not improving on this. Seems to die even faster: hostname:~ username$ /Applications/Armory.app/Contents/MacOS/Armory

Yay! A new version to test. I was having a LOT of stability issues on OS X 10.9 with the .14 version. I'll save the bug report for this version

Only 10.04 and 12.04 are mentioned. Is the 12.04 deb/installer compatible with 13.10? |

I recently upgraded from the 0.88 stable to version 0.89.99.14-beta on Windows 7 64-bit.
Looks like the new version created the '%userdir%\AppData\Roaming\Armory\databases\leveldb_blkdata' directory, which now is larger than the original blockchain dir. What's the point in using double the HD space?

So it doesn't have to hold the full blockchain in the ram. This is a "full implementation", intended for full nodes. This path was opted to reduce overhaul time and limit the code base to debug. There are plans for a lighter version of the DB now that this new code is solid. |

It is ridiculous, but it's what we had to do to get the new version working. It also maximizes security and leaves open the possibility of having remote bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instances, etc. And will be useful for heavyweight Armory servers in the future. For now, it's what we gotta do. We'll scale it back in future versions after this design is stable. ----- Ubuntu/Debian

If you've got enough Bitcoins to need Armory, then 28 GB of hard drive space shouldn't be an issue...
