+Project source code is hosted at github; we are no longer

+For Ubuntu users, there is a new ppa maintained by Matt Corallo which
+you can add to your system so that it will automatically keep
+bitcoin up-to-date.  Just type
+sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
+in your terminal, then install the bitcoin-qt package.
+
+
+BUG FIXES
+
+Re-enable SSL support for the JSON-RPC interface (it was unintentionally
+disabled for the 0.5.0 release binaries).
+
+The code that finds peers via "dns seeds" no longer stops bitcoin startup
+if one of the dns seed machines is down.
+
+Tooltips on the transaction list view were rendering incorrectly (as black boxes
+or with a transparent background).
+
+Prevent a denial-of-service attack involving flooding a bitcoin node with
+orphan blocks.
+
+The wallet passphrase dialog now warns you if the caps lock key was pressed.
+
+Improved searching in addresses and labels in bitcoin-qt.
