    Bitcoin version 0.7.1 release candidate 1 is now available from:
      http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.7.1/test/

    This is a bug-fix minor release.

    New features
    ------------

    * Added a boolean argument to the RPC 'stop' command, if true sets
      -detachdb to create standalone database .dat files before shutting down.

    * -salvagewallet command-line option, which moves any existing wallet.dat
      to wallet.{timestamp}.dat and then attempts to salvage public/private
      keys and master encryption keys (if the wallet is encrypted) into
      a new wallet.dat. This should only be used if your wallet becomes
      corrupted, and is not intended to replace regular wallet backups.

    * Import $DataDir/bootstrap.dat automatically, if it exists.

    Dependency changes
    ------------------

    * Qt 4.8.2 for Windows builds

    * openssl 1.0.1c

    Bug fixes
    ---------

    * Clicking on a bitcoin: URI on Windows should now launch Bitcoin-Qt properly.

    * When running -testnet, use RPC port 18332 by default.

    * Better detection and handling of corrupt wallet.dat and blkindex.dat files.
      Previous versions would crash with a DB_RUNRECOVERY exception, this
      version detects most problems and tells you how to recover if it
      cannot recover itself.

    * Fixed an uninitialized variable bug that could cause transactions to
      be reported out of order.

    * Fixed a bug that could cause occasional crashes on exit.

    * Warn the user that they need to create fresh wallet backups after they
      encrypt their wallet.
    How often do you get the chance to work on a potentially world-changing project?

    Awesome, this will come in handy!

    In IRC, we've started working on the torrent for bootstrapping.

    jgarzik and I each took our block databases and generated bootstrap.dat files from them, starting from the genesis block and going through (including) the last checkpointed block, 193,001 blocks in total.  The bootstrap.dat has ONLY the valid blocks in it (no orphans), all blocks are in sequential order, and there are is no "extra" data in the file between any blocks.

    We used two totally different scripts and our own privately downloaded blockchains as the starting points.  After an initial disagreement on whether to end with the checkpointed block, or the block before the checkpoint, we now have perfect agreement of size and hash.  We expected this, because the bitcoin client verifies all of this data too, but it was still nice when it worked.

    He has created a torrent file and a magnet URL, he'll be posting it and making the announcement when everything is ready.  Apparently it takes a while for the DHT system to sync up.

    The file size and SHA256 hash of the file are below. 

    Code:
    -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

    running in a virtual machine windows 7 64. (took forever to get that set up cause my windows disc is old...) currently syncing the blockchain problem free.

    which is excellent, cause when i upgraded to 0.7 on my actual system i launched bitcoin-qt then quickly exited it, just making sure it'd launch. after thast it wouldn't lunch without an error. having done the same thing on .7.1, it behaves properly without issues. Cheesy

    i don't post much, but this space for rent.

    Can any Windows user, who used the 0.7.1 RC1 installer, confirm clicking URIs is working again.

    This will be a WONTFIX, unless somebody steps up to continue supporting OSX 10.5.

    I'll put a big note in the release notes that we're dropping OSX 10.5 support.

    We couild, however, create merged mined blockchains each using a different contender for "world's best signature algorithm", so that specuilators and hedgers can speculate and hedge regarding theoretical breakings of one or more such algorithms by picking and choosing which such chains to distribute their wealth among and in what proportions...

    I slapped one up you can try:  http://skypaint.com/bitcoin/fauceturi.html

    I think typing bitcoin:1.....?label=... etc  into the browser address bar should work for testing, too.

    well, i'm still downloading the blockchain so i'm not 100% sure of this result.

    but, when clicking that URI, i'm asked if i want to allow the brwoser to open a progam, and of course i allow it. then i get the windows 7 equivalent of an hourglass... then nothing happens. no error message, not attemtp to start a second instance of bitcoin-qt. nothing.

    i want to try again when i've sync'd with the live blockchain, so that'll be in another 10k blocks...

    I get an error message saying:

    Code:
    Error initializing database environmenthome/rune/.bitcoin!
    To recover, BACKUP THAT DIRECTORY, then remove
    everything from it except for wallet.dat.

    Is this expected? I've had to download the block chain from scratch a couple of times previously when I've upgraded. Is it because it uses a newer version of BDB?

    Works fine for me on linux 64bit, I am running it the last 2 days or so.
    It even recovered a wallet that I corrupted with this script (https://gist.github.com/3812689)

    Can you please start regedit.exe and post the value of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\bitcoin\shell\open\command\(default) it needs to be something like "E:\Bitcoin\Client\bitcoin-qt.exe" "%1", and the %1 at the end is the most important part. You used the 0.7.1 RC1 installer, right?
