+title: Bitcoin version 0.5.2 released
+category: releases
+---
+Bitcoin version 0.5.2 is now available for download at:
+<http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.5.2/>
+
+This is a bugfix-only release.
+
+Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
+<https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues>
+
+BUG FIXES
+---------
+
+* Check all transactions in blocks after the last checkpoint (0.5.0 and 0.5.1
+skipped checking ECDSA signatures during initial blockchain download; this was
+not a security vulnerability).
+
+* Cease locking memory used by non-sensitive information (this caused a huge
+performance hit on some platforms, especially noticable during initial blockchain
+download).
+
+* Fixed some address-handling deadlocks (client freezes).
+
+* No longer accept inbound connections over the internet when Bitcoin is being
+used with Tor (identity leak).
+
+* Re-enable SSL support for the JSON-RPC interface (it was unintentionally
+disabled for the 0.5.0 and 0.5.1 release Linux binaries).
+
+* Use the correct base transaction fee of 0.0005 BTC for accepting transactions
+into mined blocks (since 0.4.0, it was incorrectly accepting 0.0001 BTC which was
+only meant to be relayed).
+
+* Don't show "IP" for transactions which are not necessarily IP transactions.
+
+* Add new DNS seeds (maintained by Pieter Wuille and Luke Dashjr).
