Bitcoin 0.9.0 FINAL is available [Changelog] [Download]

[iongchun]

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

Where can I report them?

The translations in 0.9.0 release is not the latest on Transifex.
I don't understand why the release team don't pull the latest into the release,
especially some strings are just replaced/updated several weeks before the release.
It annoys me as a translator because it happens several times, and I see half-baked translations in a release.
It could be better that the release schedule includes a period to call for translations,
so developers have a deadline to update strings to be localized,
and translators have a deadline to finish their work.

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?

Yes, you can get rid of that one, but it's just a hard link to a file in the blocks folder, so deleting it doesn't actually free up any space.

Nice work, thanks and keep it up!

[whatcoinorg]

Thank you for your hard work.

give us back the address pages.

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?

Ente

locate db_cxx.h

then you have different options:

a) fixing directories with symlinks, so configure finds it within the default dirs (/usr/lib and /usr/include)
b) using ./configure flags or BASH settings to specifiy where libs are searched/found
(e.g. something like ./configure BDB_LIBS=/usr/local/db48/lib BDB_CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/db48/include)

Thanks pal. It turned out I need "libdb++-dev" instead of "libdb-dev".

One step closer now, next roadblock:

Code:

checking for Berkeley DB C++ headers... default
configure: error: Found Berkeley DB other than 4.8, required for portable wallets (--with-incompatible-bdb to ignore)

There is only v5.1 available on Debian

edit: recompiling with "--with-incompatible-bdb"

Second one is known and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/3686 .

Second one is known and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/3686 .

Thanks again for your help.

In the meantime I compiled with:

Code:

aptitude install automake libdb++-dev libboost-dev
aptitude install libboost-{system,filesystem,chrono,program-options,thread,test}-dev

./autogen.sh
./configure --with-incompatible-bdb 
make

Works on Debian.
Take care that your wallet files may be incompatible to other bitcoin-core installations because of the different berkeley db version. Which is no issue for me.

I've installed 0.9 on ubuntu 13.10 (copied the files in the archive to /usr/bin)

It's working fine. Though I thought the transaction fee's were lowered to 0.00001 btc. It's the same 0.0001 as before. Did I do something wrong?

Hey guys, the linux version doesn't work on centos 6.5 x64. It requires newer version of glibc
I compiled a static version of bitcoind, but still get the same message.

Message is:
--------------------------------
./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)
---------------------------------

Can this be fixed in anyway?

Thanks!

Successfully upgraded to 0.9.0
I like the new receive window and the lowered tx fees, good work devs!

[davidpbrown]

what is the easiest way to upgrade bitcoin-qt on ubuntu to this version?

I'm on Mint but expect it's the same for you. I couldn't just double run the bitcoin-qt as I coudl with 0.8.6 but it runs when started from the command line.
So, cd ~/bitcoin-0.9.0-linux/bin/32 and ./bitcoin-qt &

[btcpay86]

It's nice.

Dont download this, the receive bitcoin address list is missing. And you have to start over.
