v0.5.0

This release contain the following changes since 0.4.5.2:

  • many bugfixes and minor UI improvements. For a full list, you can look at the commit log: https://github.com/mailchuck/PyBitmessage/commits/master
  • PyBitmessage will now notify you if it notices a node with a newer version. With this, you won't have to check yourself if a new version is available. Currently it will not do anything, but after 0.5.1 is released and you run 0.5.0, you will be notified if you connect to a node with 0.5.1 (or a 0.5.1 node connects to you). It only notifies once and then will keep quiet, until you restart PyBitmessage.
  • PyBitmessage now again has OS X (Apple) releases. I bought an Apple just so that I can test and build for OSX. You can still run it directly by installing python yourself. My build is a done on OS X 10.11 El Capitan, let me know if it does not work on your system.

In the background, a lot of work has been done on organising the product development lifecycle. I joined the official PyBitmessage project: https://bitmessage.org/forum/index.php/topic,4812.0.html
The plan: https://bitmessage.org/forum/index.php/topic,4813.0.html is that the changes from my 0.5.x of my fork will slowly become part of the official PyBitmessage 0.6, after which there won't be separate releases anymore. This way you won't be confused about which version to run, you will have a choice between a stable and unstable release of official PyBitmessage. I expect 0.6 to become available by the end of this year (2015).
