“The program can’t start because mingwm10.dll is missing from your computer.”
[/quote]Egg on my face. Please try again and let me know.

I have updated the keys for CAlert and tested them on the testnet and mainnet. Everything appears to be working as expected. The client seems to be stable.
I will update one of the DNS Seed nodes to 0.8.5 and see how well it behaves.
-
That seems to have fixed it. I’m reindexing the blocks on the disk, and am 32 weeks behind, with no connections yet. I’ll see how it did in the morning and report back.

I pulled it yesterday evening, so I assume, it’s beta-2

[/quote]Can you please pull again as CAlert keys were changed this morning?
I hope that we have now made the final changes for this release.

You know what we are missing? A multi layered ico file. I have fired up GIMP to create a couple of these, one for testnet and the other for main net. I’m off to my parents for dinner and will finish these off tomorrow. The current ico is 32x32 so looks awful as anything other than a tiny icon.

[/quote]I just resized a larger one. ;)
As it is a png, the quality isn’t good if you shrink too much :( -
I’ve made the .ico files and put them on GitHub. They are 10 layers, 3x 16px, 3x 32px, 3x 48px and a 256px layers of various different types.

I have manually updated the .ts files from Litecoin to Feathercoin. This should be done using lupdate but that then marks the translation as obsolete. These updates have been pushed to GitHub and I have compiled the changes into Beta 3.
https://downloads.feathercoin.com/feathercoin-0.8.5-beta3.zip
For any language where Lite or lite is not in the English alphabet the translations will have to be done manually. Either in the .ts file in a text editor or using Qt Linguist.
I have received the patch file attached to this post for Chinese. Lizhi, can you please check the translations given in this patch file and let me know if everything appears to be okay.

Svenn confirms that this is working in Norwegian. Can others with non-english Windows OS please download Beta 3 and report your findings?

You can find the original .ts files in the following location if you want to update translation strings for your locale. Login to GitHub, go to your .ts locale file and select edit, make your changes, give the commit a name and then press the commit changes button. This will submit a pull request that I can commit.

[/quote]Thanks for looking through it. There was a fair bit of content to go through by the looks of it. I have now compiled this into the client. Please give it a spin and check out your translations.

I think that we are ready to release. We can update translations that have not already been migrated if and when they get done after the release. The new release fixes many bugs that people are currently suffering from, especially the synchronisation error when first loading the blockchain.
-
Thats great news did you say there was going to be some compatibility issues with the old version?
-
There is a BDB lock limit rule change on 31 January 2014 at 00:00 which is the point when we need everyone upgraded for compatibility. There is plenty of time before then and we are stable so we can leave this as it is in the code.

[/quote]For the release, we can link the package depot to the main page, as you suggested before.
Just give me a heads up, so I can pull the last revision about a day before the release message get’s out and start the packaging process

I agree with Bush. It is deployed upstream, and tests OK so far.
Release the beta as - RC1, and all be ready to fix and test anything that gets reported, using “extreme programming” techniques.
We could look to include translations, etc, in RC2.
If we plan and announce those releases in advance, then everyone could be ready to assist.

We should release this as Wrapper suggests as RC1.
