Bitcoin v0.3.24 release candidate #1 is now available for download at https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.24/test/

This is another bug fix release. We had hoped to have wallet encryption ready for release, but more urgent fixes for existing clients were needed. Wallet encryption is ready for testing at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/352 for the git-savvy, and -hopefully- will follow shortly in the next release, v0.4.

Notable fixes in v0.3.24:

F1) Block downloads were failing or taking unreasonable amounts of time to complete, because the increased size of the block chain was bumping up against some earlier buffer-size DoS limits. F2) Fix crash caused by loss/lack of network connection.

Notable changes in v0.3.24: C1) DNS seeding enabled by default. C2) UPNP enabled by default in the GUI client. The percentage of bitcoin clients that accept incoming connections is quite small, and that is a problem. This should help. bitcoind, and unofficial builds, are unchanged (though we encourage use of "-upnp" to help the network!) C3) Initial unit testing framework. Bitcoin sorely needs automated tests, and this is a beginning. Contributions welcome. C4) Internal wallet code cleanup. While invisible to an end user, this change provides the basis for v0.4's wallet encryption.

Bitcoin 0.3.24rc3 has been uploaded.

Fixes appeared after -rc2 was tagged, so we just skipped straight to -rc3.

Maybe final release on Friday?

Changes since 0.3.24rc1:

Gavin Andresen (2):
      Block-chain lock-in at 134444
      Do not use comma as thousands separator     Using the comma as thousands s

Matt Corallo (3):
      Added a couple minor things to match newer build process.
      Revert "Make UPnP default on Bitcoin but not on Bitcoind."
      Enable UPnP by default on bitcoin, but not on bitcoind (on gitian)

      Fix synchronization of default key

A quick release would be good. The network is getting really sick:

   http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=26894.40

I brought up the latest rc3 on plan99.net.

Though it's not relevant for this release, there seems to be some kind of shutdown issue. I did a "bitcoin stop" and then waited for the log to indicate successful shutdown. But the parent process didn't quit, leaving a zombie. I did a kill -9 on the parent to get rid of it, and then the addr.dat file became corrupted. I had to remove it and the "database" directory as running the db_recover command didn't work.
