Bitcoin 0.9.0 FINAL is available [Changelog] [Download]

[chriswilmer]

It runs fine on Ubuntu 12.04 (I didn't use the PPA, I just downloaded the binary and ran it)

[nobbynobbynoob]

Installed today. It looks good, just have to get used to the slightly different interface, especially under Receive.

Great work as always, devs!

[Ente]

I pulled the git, installed "automake", now it complains

Code:

checking for Berkeley DB C++ headers... no
configure: error: libdb_cxx headers missing

..although I have "libdb-dev" installed.

Any hints?

FYI, the linux binary doesn't run out of the box on CentOS 6 (6.5 fully updated).

./bitcoind -daemon
./bitcoind: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by ./bitcoind)
./bitcoind: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by ./bitcoind)
./bitcoind: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./bitcoind)

Same problem on (stock) Debian.
Bitcoin core doesn't run out-of-the-box:

Code:

/opt/bitcoin/bin/64/bitcoind: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /opt/bitcoin/bin/64/bitcoind)
/opt/bitcoin/bin/64/bitcoind: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /opt/bitcoin/bin/64/bitcoind)

Does it run on *any* linux distro?

This has already been discussed before: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495683.msg5523984#msg5523984

I had the same problem, didn't want to play around it, tried Armory, just out of curiosity, Armory started Bitcoind without any problem, although I didn't try to do anything else(yet)...

Top of the page still says "News: Bitcoin Core 0.8.6 is now available. Download."

[Cornelius]

Very nice collective work! Thanks! 

[bbulker]

Great job everyone, thank you.

A big thanks to the Core Devs for all their hard work.  This is a terrific release!

Same problem on (stock) Debian.
Bitcoin core doesn't run out-of-the-box:

Code:

/opt/bitcoin/bin/64/bitcoind: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /opt/bitcoin/bin/64/bitcoind)
/opt/bitcoin/bin/64/bitcoind: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /opt/bitcoin/bin/64/bitcoind)

Yeah, that was slightly annoying.  Debian Stable uses glibc 2.13 (which was enough for the Linux build of Bitcoin 0.8.6).  Maybe this is a sign that I should be joining the ranks of those that build from source each time.

For now, I'll just use the more recent version of glibc available in Testing.  Here's a quick guide for anyone wanting to do the same:

Add:

Code:

deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ testing main
deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian/ testing main

to /etc/apt/sources.list.

Add:

Code:

APT::Default-Release "stable";

to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf.

Run:

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get -t testing install libc6

An Open Letter and Plea to the Bitcoin Core Development Team： https://www.counterparty.co/plea-bitcoin-core-development-team/

Your threat to abuse multisig is no different than a thief telling his victim "leave your windows open for me or I'll break them".
Even in the rare cases where some data storage is needed, 40 bytes is more than enough for reasonable uses.
The only arguments for more, always come down to "we want to force people to store our data against their will".
Stop abusing Bitcoin. Thanks.

This is keeping me from updating my full node.

same. as expecting it to run out of the box with centos 6.5. will try to build on a different box. can risk building on a production server. sigh

No joy on Fedora 20 here 

[jonathan]

Debian Wheezy 7.4 here:

$ ./bitcoind
bitcoind: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by bitcoind)

Wheezy uses 2.13 ==> https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libc6

So I'll have to stick with 0.8.6 for the time being. I trust I'm not hurting the network if I do that, right?

[Newar]

Also, no joy in Lubuntu. It shows what should be executables as shared libraries and doesn't know what to do with them.

The PPA is at 0.8.6.

[sgravina]

Bug:

MacOS 10.9.2
Under the send tab.  The number in the Amount box changes by itself.  I tried to force this to happen but I couldn't.  It did happen though.  I typed in 2.2 and it kept changing to different values like 2.199, 2.203, etc without me doing anything.

Also,
The 'esc' key erases all send fields.  Not expected behavior.

./bitcoind -daemon
./bitcoind: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by ./bitcoind)
./bitcoind: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by ./bitcoind)
./bitcoind: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./bitcoind)

EDIT:
I made gitian builds of 0.9.0 that should work on the same operating systems as the 0.8.6 builds.  However the builds in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3914 might eventually be better if it becomes an official fix.

question: is the 1 time use btc address per transaction active now in the new 0.9 client?

thanks

[Serge]

are there any no longer used data files at %appdata%/bitcoin that are safe to get rid off for the sake of extra disk space? 

i think i'm seeing 2 blockchains in mine, one in folder 'blocks' that is current and an older chain at the root of %appdata%/bitcoin that stopped updating over a year ago, around 6 gigs. is it safe to dump it?
