Bitcoin 0.9.0rc2 is available for testing [Changelog]

Finally the -disablewallet option, yeah! :-)

YEAH

No major issues detected.  Love the coin control.

Second that on Wheezy & SID.
Love the coin control. 

Works fine if you launch from command line.

Same here.

Finally the -disablewallet option, yeah! :-)

Supply bitcoin-qt with the -disablewallet option, and you get a nice "Node" GUI in place of the wallet driven GUI. Status, bandwidth graphs and RPC console. You can even build the source so that the wallet code isn't compiled, so that -disablewallet is the only mode of operation. Pretty decent overall.

Pls do so ASAP. Many will use it. (not me)

Thanx to all dev & every1 helping.
Especially dev for accepting CoinControl & author for coding it.

ETA on 0.9 Stable? Only interested because I'm running an altcoin that I want to upgrade the code of and want to get the best base code possible.

i've been running this on a handful of noglegs for 4 days w/o any issues

i'll take credit for the 15% faster transaction propagation times..  hoho

So how will the RPC commands work? Will something change when calling RPC commands from PHP to bitcoin daemon in the future versions?

The OSX crash referred to earlier seems to be fixed in rc3

Didn't notice the rc3 is out

This is a huge release, thanks to core dev team for all the hard work. There are few notable features that many were waiting for. Amonth others:

- Increase default -blockmaxsize/prioritysize to 750K/50K - maybe this will cause miners to include more transactions in blocks, so transactions will confirm faster
- Relay OP_RETURN data TxOut as standard transaction type - LOTS of potential in this change (it allows you to send small data snippets along with the transaction). It will enable things like Mastercoin, Colored coins, or Trusted transactions (an trusted service including its signature as an output which will allow other parties that trust this service to accept its transactions with lower amount or even with zero confirmations).
- Reject insanely high fees by default in 'sendrawtransaction' - I myself was stung by sending bigger transaction fee than I wanted to, hopefully this will prevent others from doing the same by mistake
- Prune provably-unspendable outputs - yay for reducing UTXO database size
- New default minrelaytxfee - finally. Paying ~5 US cents for every transaction, even small ones, wasn't that great. Half a cent sounds much better

thx for the summary

[Remember remember the 5th of November]

So the pruning is now implemented?

Synchronization not work.

Is bitcoin 0.9.0 out of testing now?

I guess not. The latest release is still the rc3 (3 days ago).

Would like to know the same thing, to be able to benefit from lower tx fees.
I guess nobody knows for sure at the moment, or at least will communicate it in public.

no, not yet as you know there wasn't any official release yet.

8.6.0 is newest alpha version.

I think you mean 0.8.6 is the newest production version.

The order goes:
alpha - early early testing - lots of incomplete items
beta - mostly complete - in heavy QA testing mode
Release Candidate - feature complete - final QA and bug smashing before production release
Production Release - taken from the last Release Candidate that has no critical issues left

So 8.6.0 is the last Production Release.
0.9.0 RC3 is the latest Release Candidate for the next version.

Looks like 0.9.0 stable is finally ready

Looks like 0.9.0 stable is finally ready

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases

It's not built and multi-verified yet.  You are just seeing a release tag.

The release announcement will be posted after binaries are built by multiple parties (gitian), cross-verified, and tested.
