Bitcoin version 0.7.1 release candidate 1 is now available from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.7.1/test/
This is a bug-fix minor release.
New features
------------
* Added a boolean argument to the RPC 'stop' command, if true sets
-detachdb to create standalone database .dat files before shutting down.
* -salvagewallet command-line option, which moves any existing wallet.dat
to wallet.{timestamp}.dat and then attempts to salvage public/private
keys and master encryption keys (if the wallet is encrypted) into
a new wallet.dat. This should only be used if your wallet becomes
corrupted, and is not intended to replace regular wallet backups.
* Import $DataDir/bootstrap.dat automatically, if it exists.
Dependency changes
------------------
* Qt 4.8.2 for Windows builds
* openssl 1.0.1c
Bug fixes
---------
* Clicking on a bitcoin: URI on Windows should now launch Bitcoin-Qt properly.
* When running -testnet, use RPC port 18332 by default.
* Better detection and handling of corrupt wallet.dat and blkindex.dat files.
Previous versions would crash with a DB_RUNRECOVERY exception, this
version detects most problems and tells you how to recover if it
cannot recover itself.
* Fixed an uninitialized variable bug that could cause transactions to
be reported out of order.
* Fixed a bug that could cause occasional crashes on exit.
* Warn the user that they need to create fresh wallet backups after they
encrypt their wallet.
