Electrum 1.9 released

[TheButterZone]

1.9.6 mac fails to connect to network (red light in lower right) and nothing happens when network button or menu item is clicked/chosen. 1.9.4 works fine.

On my OSX 10.9 it took a first run of 1.9.6, quit, then second run to get network green.

Terminal:
  electrum -w /electrum_data/wallets/default_wallet - starts the client!
  electrum -w /electrum_data/wallets/default_wallet deseed - nothing!

  It seems that the "deseed" command isn't working.

Working in 1.9.6

It doesn't work with the portable build.

The download link for the Windows installer version seems to be broken.

1.9.6 seems to work except the language setting doesnt work.

I dont get the new design. I cant prioritize an address but i can chose send from for an address. But shortly after, probably after a redraw, the window with the addresses in send-tab is gone again. I fill the amount, target and so on but no window for the source address. I have to rightclick the sending address again.

What disturbs too is that the list of addresses seems to be redrawn even more often. So when i want to copy a detail from an address description i end up doing it more than once because everything was reset. The same goes when i want to change the size of columns. When i dont close and restart electrum fast then the setting is gone and reset.
When i check addresses to find a certain one its extremely annoying to have to scroll down again and again too.

I dont see why the whole list has to be rewritten all the time. If details change why not simply change the details?

I now will try to be fast enough being able to send from the address i want.

This has been an issue for me for a long time. It's quite annoying. A couple times I started looking at fixing it and doing a pull request but after exploring it seems to be more complicated than a simple fix. But one thing I was thinking is that if any address line is selected then the updated could be blocked, or less often. Right now it just becomes a real pain to do anything more than a quick glance at addresses. If you need to spend time checking some values or doing something then you are constantly having to re-scroll and re-open groups. A more comprehensive fix would update contents in some less destructive way than just reseting and refilling.

Is there a way to disable the Used address hiding ? If there isn't, could you please include an option in the preferences to remove it ? Thanks.
I personally really don't like it for simplicity's sake.

1.9.6 has a bug. You cant chose more than one source address. Firstly... if you chose a second one then the first one is deleted. Secondly. If you take some time than the source addresses are deleted because of the all-deleting redraw... so at the moment the priorize feature would be better than the actual state.

Yes, I tried to download the Standalone 1.9.6 and the link does not work.

I found a bug in 1.9.6 : If you are disconnected from the net, when you open electrum and choose Restore from seed, you enter the seed, and after it says you are offline it still tries to connect to the server, and it hangs there doing nothing. In windows you can close the "connecting" window and Electrum pops up, but in linux there is no close button in gnome so it just hangs there. Thanks.

OS version? <-- could this be mandatory on any comment?

Electrum 1.9.6 does not work on Mac OSX 10.8.5

I had to revert to Electrum 1.9.4 which work fine.

* Coinbase Buyback plugin

Ah this a way to monetize the software? Good. Some money flowing to the devs for all their hard work is good.
