Add additional variables to the release note files to allow setting the version number and date. The version number is required, and can be used to automatically set the release notes title. The date is optional and can be set hours/days after the release. Additionally, a Makefile test is added that checks whether the download files exist on the Bitcoin.org server. This can help prevent creating a broken Download page. * Set variables for all previous releases * Document variables in README.md * Update code and templates to use variables * Add the Download page links to the "dl" CSS class. Also add newlines to make the HTML a bit easier to parse using sed * Add a new Liquid plugin to print warnings. This is used to print a non-error warning if any release is created without the optional date

Bitcoin v0.3.24 is now available for download at

|
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.24/>

This is another bug fix release. We had hoped to have wallet encryption ready for release, but more urgent fixes for existing clients were needed -- most notably block download problems were getting severe. Wallet encryption is ready for testing at <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/352> for the git-savvy, and hopefully will follow shortly in the next release, v0.4.
|

|
|
Notable fixes in v0.3.24, and the main reasons for this release:
|
|
|
|
* Block downloads were failing or taking unreasonable amounts of time to complete, because the increased size of the block chain was bumping up against some earlier buffer-size DoS limits.
|
|
* Fix crash caused by loss/lack of network connection.
|
|
|
|
Notable changes in v0.3.24:
|
|
|
|
* DNS seeding enabled by default.
|
|
* UPNP enabled by default in the GUI client. The percentage of bitcoin clients that accept incoming connections is quite small, and that is a problem. This should help. bitcoind, and unofficial builds, are unchanged (though we encourage use of "-upnp" to help the network!).
|
|
* Initial unit testing framework. Bitcoin sorely needs automated tests, and this is a beginning. Contributions welcome.
|
|
* Internal wallet code cleanup. While invisible to an end user, this change provides the basis for v0.4's wallet encryption.
