Too late, already uninstalled that crap, and back to 0.8.6 Why the hell do devs have to change something that is fine. |

Dont download this, the receive bitcoin address list is missing. And you have to start over.
I was just about to do this upgrade, what exactly is the problem you're referring to? |

This is what it used to look like https://bitbargain.co.uk/s/img/sign_message.pngThe new one looks like you have to fill out a note from grandma evertime you want to receive coins,. |

Great release! I've been using the RC and appreciate the features separating the wallet from the server (network). Send TX new UI was also needed. Also getbestblockhash is a small time saver.
Edit: Well as pointed above, some problems with UI. I was mostly focusing on bitcoind in my evaluation.

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 & Wow thanks I have been pulling my hair out here. To think that simple solution was probably there for me the whole time. Why is my Ubuntu 12.04 trying to use gedit to open the executable? The icons for them is the paper one and gedit is set as default to open them. What is different to make Ubuntu not recognize them as executables? |

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. thanks. although i'm not sure that's the case with hard linking. split files in blocks folder are 131MB while at the root only one of them 131MB and other 4 files vary between 1-2gigs i think that's the old chain format back from 2011-12 that isn't being used as back few client version updates the blockchain i believe was rebuilt to a new format |

It's checked, but for some reason gedit is set as default application to open it with and if I remove it as default app Ubuntu doesn’t know what to do with it. It's no big deal I was just curious why Ubuntu isn't recognizing it as an executable. All of the binaries in the bin directory are doing this... |

It's because we are compiling/linking with -pie. This adds address space randomization, which is a security/hardening feature that makes exploits more difficult. But it means that the executable is seen as a shared library by naive tools such as "file" and seemingly the Gnome file manager. it seems that the new wallet not like folder with é or è I have an é in my folder name, and unable to install the file of the first launch on it. Other folders no problem Seems a problem with UTF8 in file names. Strange. What OS? |

Some stupid questions.
How to uninstall the old client? Just delete the folder and the appdata? Do I have to delete the blocks also?
(btw.: I redirected the block-directory, can someone tell me the command line again?)

Don't delete the data folder (answered earlier in this thread). Especially not your wallet.dat!!! Well, at least not until you're 100% sure you've backed up the latest version properly.

Run the uninstaller. If you never ran an installer, you don't need to do anything and you can just remove the old .exe. Do not remove the data! (blocks and/or wallet) Do make sure that you back up your wallet before upgrading. Although the uninstaller doesn't touch the data, it doesn't hurt to be careful. |
