Small bug (under Windows): in overview page, when I hover mouse over some recent transaction, the tooltip window appear in whole black background, preventing to see any text in it.

Also, I do not like the grid lines vertical spacing, should be smaller to be able to see more, but its probably the way how Qt shows grid. I prefer the Windows OS style spacing.

What is the purpose of wallat.dat.rewrite file?  Can I delete?

This is probably not the best place to be reporting bugs?  Entering each as a separate issue in Github would probably be helpful.

I didn't read the notes before upgrading. Just backed up my wallet and installed. It's all working fine or seems to be. I'm not worried about having been hacked. Is there anything that I could have bungled up? RTFM fail

[elggawf]

Now I need to first check the checksum of file and then I need to check the signature of checksum message to see if the message is valid and then compare the two checksums by eye.

shasum --check

What does it mean if an receiving address is grey and in Brackets? (in the Transaction overview)

Or if there is (k.A.) in this overview?


Should be delete/backup the wallet.dat and rename wallet.dat.rewrite -> wallet.dat? ....testing.... no that doesn't work...

PS: It doesn't matter to me, because I have about 0.0015 Bitcoins on there anymore, but I wonder....
PPS: hmm..... I try it with an unencrypted "pre 0.4 version" wallet

For Ubuntu users, there is a new ppa maintained by Matt Corallo which you can add to your system so that it will automatically keep bitcoin up-to-date.  Just type "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin" in your terminal, then install the bitcoin-qt package.

For those interested in this, please note that currently the ppa directs you to an outdated version. Specifically, version 0.3.24

I'm confused, the file says "bitcoin-0.5.0-win32-setup.exe" but the GUI looks the same and in the version number inside the client it says
version 0.4.0-Beta.

Hm, I just downloaded the .zip version and noticed that the sha1sum doesn't match:

From SHASUMS.asc:
97ef546d923e75f309a19f8a52b07affc0942948  bitcoin-0.5.0-win32.zip

>sha1sum.exe bitcoin-0.5.0-win32.zip
4d7a71726b39f0617066e97468cb02431bfb2b4e  bitcoin-0.5.0-win32.zip

What's up?

I updated the .zip and .tar.gz and SHASUMS.asc a few hours ago, because the .zip and the .tar.gz were expanding to a "bitcoin-rc7" directory.

Be sure you run bitcoin-qt.exe, not the old bitcoin.exe.

no it's not, just add the posted ppa and "apt-get update". I installed from there with no issues. All the dependencies too

That is the old ppa which hasnt been touched in a while, the bitcoin/bitcoin ppa has always had 0.5.

You're mistakenly referring to the old unofficial PPA https://launchpad.net/~stretch/+archive/bitcoin

The SHASUMS.asc on sourceforge hasn't been updated.

EDIT: Now it has been updated, so everything's peachy.

Thanks again for releasing the Mac version synchronized with the others and not making us Apple guys wait!

On my windows7 system the bitcoin-screen goes blank after a few minutes of inactivity. After some random clicking and fidgeting the screen sometimes comes backl and sometimes it doesnt. Anyone else with this problem ?

Ah, that did it. Until I added "sudo apt-get update" all I could see is the older version. Just installed without further issue on a fresh Ubuntu 11.10 system.

updated to 0.5.0.1-beta
Thanks!
