Reposting from email to bitcoin-development mailing list:
I've been busy pulling patches into git HEAD for a Bitcoin version 0.6, with the goal of having a Release Candidate 1 out in a couple of weeks.
So if you've done all your Christmas shopping and have time to help test, code review, etc. now would be the time.
Major changes pulled so far:
Implement BIP 11/12/13:
"Standard" multisignature transactions
"Standard" OP_EVAL transactions
OP_EVAL bitcoin addresses
Implement BIP 14 (separate protocol from client version)
Private key import/export (RPC commands, not GUI)
New DNS seeds
