I just checked out the 1.5.8 tag and it works fine if I run it with "./electrum" but when I run the copy installed with "setup.py install" I get an error
It looks like your install was not complete. did it throw an error? It looks like I somehow had 1.5.7 and 1.5.8 installed. I uninstalled 1.5.7 manually and reinstalled 1.5.8 and now its working!

I released version 1.5.8. (binaries are not yet ready) changelog:
# Release 1.5.8 (02-01-2013)
== Classic GUI * (Feature) Language selector in options.
Note that if you are on Mac and using Homebrew to run from git with qt pyqt already installed. You will also need to do: $ brew install gettext $ brew link gettext To be able to create the translations. Does translations only work on the Classic GUI?

Most strings should be translated, although I'm not sure the translations are complete.

Is there any plans to create an iOS version?

Everybody is free to implement the Electrum protocol. As far as I know though none of the current contributors are working on a iOS app.

I was just wondering something about the deterministic wallet.
It's known that if someone gets one key in your wallet they can find the others.
If each seed also had a random secret gap value associated with it would that be enough to overcome the vulnerability of exposing a single key? That is. if you have the seed plus a secret gap that should be enough to restore a wallet but if the secret gap is a large number then it should be difficult for others to restore from any given key. Or maybe the seed itself could be used if that is unknown even when a private is known?
Probably this would need to be "in addition to the gap" so that the code can still determine when it needs to generate new addresses based on gap.
So, next_key = gap:secret_gap:mpk (or something along that lines)
Workable or not? This might be better than importing and using non-seed keys for cases where trading keys is useful.
edit: tried to clarify my wording.

As you might have noticed, the Electrum website has moved earlier today; I was able to get the domain name http://electrum.orgthanks to all the donators who made this possible.

This gives me "Illegal instruction: 4"
Sorry but I have never seen this before and I have no clue what it means. Did you do any custom things with your system? Are you running homebrew? Any other weird packages? I just tried v1.5.8 and am getting the same error as both versions 1.5.6 and 1.5.7. I'm not a programmer so this may be irrelevant, but a quick Google search for this error produced results such as this and this which suggests something (mysterious to me I might add) might need to be done when it is compiled for Lion and Mountain Lion. In the meantime I guess I'll just have to keep my eyes peeled for a newer version that might run on my system.

The problem is I'm on mountain lion myself and the version run just fine on my local machine. Are you on 10.8.2 or perhaps on an older version?

You could try a build from git but if you are not familiar with terminals it might be a bit tricky. I can tell you that there is no reason a future version will suddenly work. It's not a problem with Electrum but the tools used to build a binary version from the Python source. Is there anybody else with the same problem on OS X?

I have never seen this error you got, have been testing binaries since they started compiling them a few weeks ago. Running from git shows no errors either (except those related to Homebrew and dependencies). OSX 10.8.2

I am trying to understand how electrum works: Is it correct that I can not create a new address at will but only by modifying the gap setting?
What do I do if want a new address to receive money for some top secret business? I do not usually reuse addresses and make sure not to link them.

You will always have as many free addresses available as your gap limit. If you have a gap limit of 5 and you already gave out those five addresses but did not receive any money on them you will have to increase the gap limit to account for that. I never had to change the gap limit as I never have 5 outstanding payments at the same time. But I guess it could happen.

You could create some new addresses using an address tool and import them into your wallet.

I guess I'd say I'm not a total novice with the command line. I've played with Linux in the past and even managed to build an entire Gentoo distribution from the source. But I have to admit I've lost the enthusiasm for that these days, and also it would be nice to know what's different about my system to others. An interesting problem to solve
