4This release includes more than 20 language localizations.
5More translations are welcome; join the

9Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
10https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
11
12Project source code is hosted at github; we are no longer
13distributing .tar.gz files here, you can get them
14directly from github:

18For Ubuntu users, there is a ppa maintained by Matt Corallo which
19you can add to your system so that it will automatically keep
20bitcoin up-to-date.  Just type
21sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
22in your terminal, then install the bitcoin-qt package.
23
24
25KNOWN ISSUES
26
27Shutting down while synchronizing with the network
28(downloading the blockchain) can take more than a minute,
29because database writes are queued to speed up download
30time.
31
32
33NEW FEATURES SINCE BITCOIN VERSION 0.5
34
35Initial network synchronization should be much faster
36(one or two hours on a typical machine instead of ten or more
37hours).
38
39Backup Wallet menu option.
40
41Bitcoin-Qt can display and save QR codes for sending
42and receiving addresses.
43
44New context menu on addresses to copy/edit/delete them.
45
46New Sign Message dialog that allows you to prove that you
47own a bitcoin address by creating a digital
48signature.
49
50New wallets created with this version will
51use 33-byte 'compressed' public keys instead of
5265-byte public keys, resulting in smaller
53transactions and less traffic on the bitcoin
54network. The shorter keys are already supported
55by the network but wallet.dat files containing
56short keys are not compatible with earlier
57versions of Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind.
58
59New command-line argument -blocknotify=<command>
60that will spawn a shell process to run <command> 
61when a new block is accepted.
62
63New command-line argument -splash=0 to disable
64Bitcoin-Qt's initial splash screen
65
66validateaddress JSON-RPC api command output includes
67two new fields for addresses in the wallet:
68pubkey : hexadecimal public key
69iscompressed : true if pubkey is a short 33-byte key
70
71New JSON-RPC api commands for dumping/importing
72private keys from the wallet (dumprivkey, importprivkey).
73
74New JSON-RPC api command for getting information about
75blocks (getblock, getblockhash).
76
77New JSON-RPC api command (getmininginfo) for getting
78extra information related to mining. The getinfo
79JSON-RPC command no longer includes mining-related
80information (generate/genproclimit/hashespersec).
81
82
83
84NOTABLE CHANGES
85
86BIP30 implemented (security fix for an attack involving
87duplicate "coinbase transactions").
88
89The -nolisten, -noupnp and -nodnsseed command-line
90options were renamed to -listen, -upnp and -dnsseed,
91with a default value of 1. The old names are still
92supported for compatibility (so specifying -nolisten
93is automatically interpreted as -listen=0; every
94boolean argument can now be specified as either
95-foo or -nofoo).
96
97The -noirc command-line options was renamed to
98-irc, with a default value of 0. Run -irc=1 to
99get the old behavior.
100
101Three fill-up-available-memory denial-of-service
102attacks were fixed.
103
104
105NOT YET IMPLEMENTED FEATURES
106
107Support for clicking on bitcoin: URIs and
108opening/launching Bitcoin-Qt is available only on Linux,
109and only if you configure your desktop to launch
110Bitcoin-Qt. All platforms support dragging and dropping
111bitcoin: URIs onto the Bitcoin-Qt window to start
112payment.
113
114
115PRELIMINARY SUPPORT FOR MULTISIGNATURE TRANSACTIONS
116
117This release has preliminary support for multisignature
118transactions-- transactions that require authorization
119from more than one person or device before they
120will be accepted by the bitcoin network.
121
122Prior to this release, multisignature transactions
123were considered 'non-standard' and were ignored;
124with this release multisignature transactions are
125considered standard and will start to be relayed
126and accepted into blocks.
127
128It is expected that future releases of Bitcoin-Qt
129will support the creation of multisignature transactions,
130once enough of the network has upgraded so relaying
131and validating them is robust.
132
133For this release, creation and testing of multisignature
134transactions is limited to the bitcoin test network using
135the "addmultisigaddress" JSON-RPC api call.
136
137Short multisignature address support is included in this
138release, as specified in BIP 13 and BIP 16.
