Helium Hydra, Point Release 1 (GUI)

Overview

This is the v0.11.1.0 point release of the Monero GUI software, and it is part of the v0.11 mandatory update. The major release was due to the September 15th hard fork, which in turn increased the minimum ring signature size to 5 across the network, banned duplicate ring members in a ring signature, and enforced the use of ringCT for all transaction outputs. This release of the software presents a number of major improvements to Monero, as well as a large set of bug fixes.

The CLI release notes and downloads can be found on the release page here.

Some highlights of this point release are:

• fixed a bug where, in an edge case, the wallet wouldn't see the first transaction to it
• added an option to change wallet creation height and rescan wallet cache
• changed the default required confirmations to 10
• reworked testnet settings in the wizard
• updated the Windows installer
• made the privacy slider smoother
• the password dialog box is now shown when making a transfer
• added a Romanian translation

Some highlights of the major release this is a part of are:

• Added and updated translations
• Smart mining enabled
• Added 'Rescanning Wallet Balance' feature
• Prep work for iOS and Android
• displays view/spend keys when viewing Wallet seed on the Settings page
• added a Vulnerability Response Process, with bug bounties available via a dedicated HackerOne portal
• added easylogging option
• added custom blockchain location setting on the Settings page
• history now shows coinbase transactions
• wallet creation height and log file paths are now shown on the Settings page
• wallet will now only prompt for daemon auto start if the wallet is local
• lots of prep work for more streamlined remote node integration
• fixed 32 bit fonts
• bug fixes and performance improvements

Monero GUI v0.10.3.1 (GUI Beta 2)

Overview

The second beta of the Monero GUI has been released. Due to our focus on completing the features required for the initial release we have not, as yet, completed support for 32-bit Windows, FreeBSD, DragonflyBSD, ARMv7 Linux, and ARMv8 Linux devices. Whilst these are being worked on, it may not be feasible to support some environments (like 32-bit Windows) due to performance degradation.

Download links are at the bottom of this post, and please take note of the known issues and caveats listed below.

To upgrade, just replace your existing GUI with this newer release. Beta 1 wallets will continue to work in beta 2, without any changes required from your side.

Known Issues

• If the GUI doesn't start on Windows, or starts with a blank screen, then try launch it using the start-low-graphics-mode.bat batch file.
• The unsigned transaction format, used by cold wallets, may cause issues when moving between platforms (eg. from Linux to Windows) for signing.
• Cold transaction signing does not work with split transactions (sends that are split over multiple transactions).

Monero Core GUI Beta 1

Overview

The first beta of the Monero Core GUI has been released. Note that, at this time, we have not completed support for 32-bit Windows, FreeBSD, and ARMv7 Linux devices. They are all being worked on, and we hope to complete support for them by the time of the first release.

Download links are at the bottom of this post, and please take note of the known issues and caveats listed below.

Known Issues

• Due to several important updates, 0.10.1 wallet binaries will not work with with wallets created by the GUI. Please use the binaries included in the package instead. Note: you can definitely use the 0.10.1 daemon:)
• If you have been testing earlier builds you may have to delete your configs. There is a guide describing how to do this on this StackExchange post.
• Older computers may have an issue with the QT renderer, and will either crash or display a white / black window. You can change the rendering mode as described on this StackExchange post.

FAQ

• Can I use a remote node? This is certainly possible. In the wizard, change the daemon address from localhost:18081 to the address of the remote node. For instance, if you want to use the remote node of moneroworld.com, change localhost:18081 to node.moneroworld.com:18081 or 2nodez.moneroworld.com:18081. Alternatively, you can specify a daemon address on the Settings page.
• What do I do if the GUI is showing Wrong Version at the bottom left? If you see this message the daemon you are using is incompatible with the GUI. The daemon supplied in the binaries is compatible with the GUI. Thus, if you are seeing this message you are likely using a remote node, which is running a daemon that is incompatible with the GUI. Note that you will be able to receive funds. However, you won't be able to send funds.
• What if I get an "Can't create transaction: Wrong daemon version: internal error: histogram reports no unlocked outputs for xxxxxxxxxxxx, not even ours" error? This means that you are using a daemon that is incompatible with the GUI. This is likely caused by using a remote node (see above). Alternatively, it could be caused by using a version 0.9.4 or 0.10.0.
• What if I get an "Error: failed to load wallet: input stream error" error when trying to open an existing wallet This is due to the wallet cache (<walletname>) being incompatible. You can circumvent this error by removing your wallet cache. The GUI will then open your wallet and refresh from scratch. It is advised to properly backup your wallet files before you perform this action. Also note that deleting the wallet cache results in losing some of the transaction history, namely recipient addresses and private tx keys. Thus, if you want to use an existing wallet with the GUI, it is advisable to backup your wallet cache in case you need transaction history info in the future.
• What if I get an "Error opening wallet: std::bad_alloc" error? This error is also caused by an incompatible wallet cache. See the previous question for further information.
• Can I open a wallet I created with the CLI? Yes, this is possible with the wallet picker in the wizard. Use the "I want to open a wallet from file" option and select your .keys file to open the wallet created with the CLI. Alternatively, if you already have a wallet opened and want to switch to your CLI wallet, go to the Settings page and choose Close wallet. This will bring you back to the wizard, where you can choose your CLI wallet. Note that your cache may be incompatible and you may incur an error. If this happens, see the FAQ questions above.
