FWIW if you've been experienceing OpenSSL related crashes on OSX or Arch Linux this release should fix your issues. I don't have any way of testing this myself, so if I could get some confirmation that this new release candidate fixes things that'd be really helpful!

Other release notes:

v0.5.0 ======

Major fix: Fixed OpenSSL related crashes on OSX and Arch Linux. Big thanks to everyone who helped fix this!

Breaking API changes:

* Proxy no longer has ``__getattr__`` to support arbitrary methods. Use
  RawProxy or Proxy.call instead. This allows new wrappers to be added safely.
  See docstrings for details.

New features:

* New RPC calls: getbestblockhash, getblockcount, getmininginfo
* Signing and verification of Bitcoin Core compatible messages. (w/ pubkey recovery)
* Tox tests
* Sphinx docs

Notable bugfixes:

* getinfo() now works where disablewallet=1

No issues have been reported with the release candidate, so I've released v0.5.0 officially pretty much as-is:
