Bitcoin-Qt version 0.8.5 is now available from:  http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.5/This is a maintenance release to fix a critical bug;we urge all users to upgrade.Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:  https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issuesHow to Upgrade--------------If you are running an older version, shut it down. Waituntil it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for olderversions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).If you are upgrading from version 0.7.2 or earlier, the first time yourun 0.8.5 your blockchain files will be re-indexed, which will takeanywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the speed ofyour machine.0.8.5 Release notes===================Bugs fixed----------Transactions with version numbers larger than 0x7fffffff wereincorrectly being relayed and included in blocks.Blocks containing transactions with version numbers largerthan 0x7fffffff caused the code that checks for LevelDB databaseinconsistencies at startup to erroneously report databasecorruption and suggest that you reindex your database.This release also contains a non-critical fix to the code thatenforces BIP 34 (block height in the coinbase transaction).--Thanks to Gregory Maxwell and Pieter Wuille for quicklyidentifying and fixing the transaction version number bug.
