-Bitcoin version 0.5.0 is now available for download at:
-http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.5.0/
-

-
-Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:

-
-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.
-
-MAJOR BUG FIX  (CVE-2011-4447)
-
-The wallet encryption feature introduced in Bitcoin version 0.4.0 did not sufficiently secure the private keys. An attacker who
-managed to get a copy of your encrypted wallet.dat file might be able to recover some or all of the unencrypted keys and steal the
-associated coins.
-
-If you have a previously encrypted wallet.dat, the first time you run bitcoin-qt or bitcoind the wallet will be rewritten, Bitcoin will
-shut down, and you will be prompted to restart it to run with the new, properly encrypted file.
-
-If you had a previously encrypted wallet.dat that might have been copied or stolen (for example, you backed it up to a public
-location) you should send all of your bitcoins to yourself using a new bitcoin address and stop using any previously generated addresses.
-
-Wallets encrypted with this version of Bitcoin are written properly.
-
-Technical note: the encrypted wallet's 'keypool' will be regenerated the first time you request a new bitcoin address; to be certain that the
-new private keys are properly backed up you should:
-
-1. Run Bitcoin and let it rewrite the wallet.dat file
-
-2. Run it again, then ask it for a new bitcoin address.
-Bitcoin-Qt: Address Book, then New Address...
-bitcoind: run the 'walletpassphrase' RPC command to unlock the wallet,  then run the 'getnewaddress' RPC command.
-
-3. If your encrypted wallet.dat may have been copied or stolen, send  all of your bitcoins to the new bitcoin address.
-
-4. Shut down Bitcoin, then backup the wallet.dat file.
-IMPORTANT: be sure to request a new bitcoin address before backing up, so that the 'keypool' is regenerated and backed up.
-
-"Security in depth" is always a good idea, so choosing a secure location for the backup and/or encrypting the backup before uploading it is recommended. And as in previous releases, if your machine is infected by malware there are several ways an attacker might steal your bitcoins.
-
-Thanks to Alan Reiner (etotheipi) for finding and reporting this bug.
