So the plan is for the next release of bitcoin to switch from the wxWidgets GUI we have now to the vastly nicer QT GUI that John Smith created. @p{par}

I spent some time yesterday compiling Qt and bitcoin-qt, and some time this morning doing a very quick code review (executive summary: looks great!). @p{par}

I'm mostly posting this as a brain dump of "stuff not to forget" when it is time to pull QT and remove WX. @p{par}

Major behavioral differences I noticed during code review: @p{par}


@p{(li}Does not generate new receiving addresses automatically (good idea, I think, but may be controversial).@p{li)}

@p{(li}Cannot act as a rpc client (ok with me, we'll still compile/ship a headless bitcoind)@p{li)}
 @p{brk}
Will-need-to-be-done stuff: @p{par}


@p{(li}Find and replace or remove references to wxwidgets in documentation, makefiles, etc.@p{li)}

@p{(li}Change makefiles to track rpc.cpp @p{--}@s{gt} bitcoinrpc.cpp name changes@p{li)}

@p{(li}The QT library is LGPGL licensed; do we need to change READMEs or other files?@p{li)}
 @p{brk}
... and probably a bunch of other little things I didn't notice or I forgot to write down. @p{brk}
