22  bitcoin up-to-date.  Just type
23  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
24  in your terminal, then install the bitcoin-qt package.

27  BUG FIXES
28  
29  Re-enable SSL support for the JSON-RPC interface (it was unintentionally
30  disabled for the 0.5.0 release binaries).
31  
32  The code that finds peers via "dns seeds" no longer stops bitcoin startup
33  if one of the dns seed machines is down.
34  
35  Tooltips on the transaction list view were rendering incorrectly (as black boxes
36  or with a transparent background).
37  
38  Prevent a denial-of-service attack involving flooding a bitcoin node with
39  orphan blocks.
40  
41  The wallet passphrase dialog now warns you if the caps lock key was pressed.

43  Improved searching in addresses and labels in bitcoin-qt.
