+bitcoind version 0.4.3 is now available for download at:
+http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bitcoind-0.4.3/ (until Gavin uploads to SourceForge)
+
+This is a bugfix-only release based on 0.4.0.
+
+Please note that the wxBitcoin GUI client is no longer maintained nor supported. If someone would like to step up to maintain this, they should contact Luke-Jr.
+
+Please report bugs for the daemon only using the issue tracker at github:
+https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
+
+Stable source code is hosted at Gitorious:
+http://gitorious.org/bitcoin/bitcoind-stable/archive-tarball/v0.4.3#.tar.gz
+
+BUG FIXES
+
+Cease locking memory used by non-sensitive information (this caused a huge performance hit on some platforms, especially noticable during initial blockchain download).
+Fixed some address-handling deadlocks (client freezes).
+No longer accept inbound connections over the internet when Bitcoin is being used with Tor (identity leak).
+Use the correct base transaction fee of 0.0005 BTC for accepting transactions into mined blocks (since 0.4.0, it was incorrectly accepting 0.0001 BTC which was only meant to be relayed).
+Add new DNS seeds (maintained by Pieter Wuille and Luke Dashjr).
