Bitcoin 0.9.0 FINAL is available [Changelog] [Download]

[Massimo80]

There are some quirks in the Italian translation (and some text which hasn't even been translated).

Where can I report them?

[btcdrak]

On the Mac build at least, the "pre-release build" banner is showing. Seems like that flag was not turned off?

[Buffer Overflow]

Keep up the good work.

[chriswilmer]

AWESOME!!!

[Buziss]

The win64 version is missing on this page. https://bitcoin.org/en/download

A note on OP_RETURN and data storage in the block chain was added to the release notes:

Just installed it and it's running as a full node now.

Someone should perhaps make note of a security regression in 0.9.0:
IP addresses of your peers are now logged, making your debug.log file valuable to crackers and/or governments.

Edit: Correction: By default, IPs are only logged when a node connects. This is still a potential concern, but was introduced in 0.7.0, not 0.9.0.

Great job to all devs, that's a large list of teamwork. The community will never be able to thank you all enough for your work.

[emzone]

That's great news! The most serous problem - the transaction malleability bug is now resolved!

[phelix]

Awesome! I have a feeling this release is quite mature. +1 for Coin Control

Is that on by default? I thought IP logging was only enabled if explicitly enabled.

It is always on and cannot be disabled in this release.

I must have missed that. But wasn't there talk of adding ability to control that? Maybe not merged yet?

Not merged yet.

This is definitely a issue for me. I'll test the version which doesn't include this.
