David A. Harding cbebe461ff Releases: Variablize Release Notes 
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

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.
