I finished everything on my list to do for version 0.3. The code on SVN is about ready to release. Testing at this point is much appreciated.

Laszlo figured out that enabling some more optimisation increased performance about 20%, so 0.3 hashes 20% faster than 0.2.0, but I assume he used that in his own build. 30khash increase to what total rate? (to figure…

You figured it out faster than I could post a reply. It looks like laszlo's build of Berkeley DB has database/log.* files that are not compatible with ours. The .dat files are fine, their format shouldn't ever change.…

davidonpda, were you also running laszlo's build previously? Check if the "%appdata%" directory exists, and "%appdata%\bitcoin" Try: rename "%appdata%\bitcoin" bitcoin2 does it work then?

Here's RC1 for windows for testing: (removed, see RC2 below) Please only download this if you're going to test and report back whether everything seems fine or not. Make sure to look through the files in "c:\program f…

It's too late now for feature changes to 0.3, but I'll add that to the post-0.3 to do list. I never would have noticed that if you hadn't pointed it out.

On Ubuntu 10.04 it wouldn't remove the taskbar button cleanly, so I made it leave it there. But now that you mention it, it's probably better to have the feature, even if it's messy, than not to have it, though it may…

I've noticed that hashing performance doesn't vary as much between CPUs as you'd expect. Compared to an old CPU, a newer CPU doesn't show as much of a speedup at hashing as it does on general benchmarks. I guess recen…

Agree. Certainly too trivial to clutter the user's attention with. I changed it to every 30 minutes. If I increased it to every 10 minutes, it would still be a small enough presence in the log file. Question is whethe…
