Upgrade to Jekyll 3.0
Gemfile:

  - Upgrade to Jekyll 3.x (3.0.1 tested).  This brings several new
    features I want to use, most notably *collections* which allows us
    to add blog-like collections. I've converted the `_releases` and
    `_alerts` pages into collections, although their plugins are
    maintained to handle the Download and Active Alert features.

  - Upgrade to latest Kramdown.

  - Lock Less at 2.4.0.  This prevents breaking our Less plugin.  Jekyll
    3.x provides native support for SCSS, so we may want to switch to
    that in time.

  - Lock HTML Proofer at 2.1.0.  The most recent version was taking
    forever to check our pages (I never actually got it to complete).
    I'll look into it when I get more time.

Makefile:

  - New `make clean` command.  Jekyll 3.x by default attempts to do
    incremental rebuilds.  The new `jekyll clean` command cleans up the
    metadata necessary for than so that a full build is performed, and
    this new `make clean` command is a wrapper around it so that we
    automatically do full rebuilds in the relevant cases.  Note: our
    plugins aren't fully compatible with the incremental rebuilds, but
    I'd like to fix that in the future.

  - Remove WEBrick hack to enable previewing with default URL paths (/
    instead of /index.html).

  - Filter out compliants from Rouge

README.md:

  - Now that Alerts (_alerts) are part of a collection, the file names
    are no longer parsed for dates, so instructions on adding the date
    to the YAML metadata have been added.

_alerts/*:

  - Now that alerts are part of a collection, the file names are no
    longer parsed to provide dates, so a `date:` field has been added to
    the YAML metadata.

_config.yml:

  - Some variables renamed per upgrade instructions.

  - Switched from old default syntax highlighter Pygments to new default
    Rouge.  I tried to use Rouge options to keep new output as similar
    to old output as possible to making diffing easy, but Rouge adds
    extra CSS class info.

  - Move `_alerts` and `_releases` into Jekyll 3.x "collections", which
    provide the organizational features we were using plugins to
    manange.  I haven't removed the old plugins because we still use
    some of their features (alerts.rb provides active issue and banner
    features; releases.rb provides info to Download page)

  - _layouts/* can no longer provide default global metadata; that is now
    provided in the new `defaults:` section in _config.yml.

_layouts/*:

  - Default metadata can no longer be provided in the layout files for
    collections, so I've removed it and left a message to see
    _config.yml.

_plugins/*:

  - Remove filter_for.rb. It's completely broken on Jekyll 3.x because
    of changes to Liquid which prevent adding new arguments to the
    inherited Liquid::For class. Existing uses of filter_for have been
    migrated to built-in for loops prefaced by sorts.

  - Remove remove-html-extension.rb: at it said in the comments, this
    was a temporary hack to get us to Jekyll 3.0.

_releases/*:

  - Rename all the files: prefix a v to the file name so the output html
    (e.g. v10.0.0.html) is the same as the source filename (e.g.
    v10.0.0.md).  This is necessary to migrate them to a Jekyll collection.

  - Remove %v from titles: we have to explicitly set the title, like we
    used to.  Again required for migration to collections.

_templates/events.html & en/rss/events.rss:

  - Sort events by date and then loop with regular for loop rather than
    filter_for

en/alerts.html & en/rss/alerts.rss:

  - Sort alerts by date and then loop with regular for loop rather than
    filter_for

en/bitcoin-core/index.md & en/version-history.html & en/rss/releases.rss:

  - Sort alerts by date and then loop with regular for loop rather than
    filter_for

0.5.1 2011-12-15 Bitcoin-Qt version 0.5.1 released

Bitcoin-Qt version 0.5.1 is now available for download at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.5.1/

This is a bugfix-only release.

This release includes 13 translations, including 5 new translations: Italian, Hungarian, Ukranian, Portuguese (Brazilian) and Simplified Chinese. More translations are welcome; join the project at Transifex if you can help: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/bitcoin/

Please report bugs using the issue tracker at GitHub: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues

For Ubuntu users, there is a new ppa maintained by Matt Corallo which you can add to your system so that it will automatically keep bitcoin up-to-date. Just type

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

in your terminal, then install the bitcoin-qt package.

BUG FIXES

  • Re-enable SSL support for the JSON-RPC interface (it was unintentionally disabled for the 0.5.0 release binaries).

  • The code that finds peers via "dns seeds" no longer stops bitcoin startup if one of the dns seed machines is down.

  • Tooltips on the transaction list view were rendering incorrectly (as black boxes or with a transparent background).

  • Prevent a denial-of-service attack involving flooding a bitcoin node with orphan blocks.

  • The wallet passphrase dialog now warns you if the caps lock key was pressed.

  • Improved searching in addresses and labels in bitcoin-qt.
