Should we pull the 0.3.80 download? #57

Open JeremyRand opened 8 years ago

JeremyRand commented 8 years ago

We've received a report of a wallet corruption issue that only affects 0.3.x: https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin-core/issues/89 . Namecoin Core is unaffected, according to the victim of the corruption.

We have a few options.

  1. Leave the site as it is.
  2. Leave 0.3.80 available, but warn users to backup their wallet.dat before trying to encrypt it.
  3. Leave 0.3.80 available, warn 0.3.80 users to backup their wallet.dat before trying to encrypt it, and also link prominently to Namecoin Core binaries (both 0.12 branch and the name tab PR).
  4. Leave 0.3.80 available, warn 0.3.80 users to backup their wallet.dat before trying to encrypt it, and once the name tab is merged to master, also link prominently to Namecoin Core binaries (0.12 branch and master branch).
  5. Leave 0.3.80 available, warn 0.3.80 users to backup their wallet.dat before trying to encrypt it, and once the name tab is merged to master, remove 0.3.80 and link instead to Namecoin Core binaries (0.12 branch and master branch).
  6. Remove 0.3.80 now and link instead to Namecoin Core binaries (both 0.12 branch and the name tab PR).

Please suggest which course of action you prefer, or feel free to suggest some different course of action. Also please tag anyone whom I forgot to tag, who should be involved in deciding.

I'm strongly against (1), and less strongly against (2). I personally prefer (3) over the others.

if (bugs in 0.12.99) < (bugs in 0.3.80) then move on to the new version... Warn the users to backup their wallets and report bugs.

Given that there were some reported issues with the name tab PR, I'm suggesting that we delay linking to the name tab PR for the moment. I'm still in favor of linking to stable Namecoin Core binaries though.

Those issues were fixed quite a while ago; are there any objections to prominently linking to nc0.13.99-name-tab-beta1 binaries?

My vote is to pull the old version 0.3.80 and to go for release candidate of nametab.
