v0.3

This release makes some small improvements to the UI and usability.

Also, a 32bit linux build is included.

Linux:
Unzip the file and cd into the directory it creates, then run:

sudo chmod +x bin/go-musicoin/gmc
sudo chmod +x Musicoin-client

To launch it:

./Musicoin-client

If you have issues finding peers:

• Launch the UI
• open a command window and navigate to the bin/go-musicoin directory
• type gmc attach
• you should get a new command prompt, follow the instructions here to add a node manually. https://github.com/Musicoin/go-musicoin/wiki/Start-a-miner#adding-default-nodes-as-peers

v0.2-wallet-beta

** Bug fixes for v0.1 release. **

This is a bare-bones wallet application which will connect to the main network.

If no instance of gmc is started, it will start one AND shut it down when you close it.
If an instance is already running, it will try to connect over rpc. You will need the following parameters:

--rpc --rpcapi=db,eth,net,web3,personal,miner, --rpcport 8545 --rpcaddr 127.0.0.1 --rpccorsdomain localhost

** Removing builds, as there is a bug that breaks the send option. Will update shortly **

v0.0.8-alpha

Version 0.0.8 brings a number of changes to both core functionality and UX.

Core

• File encryption: All audio files are encrypted before upload, making it difficult but not impossible to play the file outside of the app. Note that this will mean that previous versions will not be able to play any newly released works.
• Fixed price: For now, we are fixing all prices to 1 Musicoin. Mainly, this is because the currency does not have (yet) an established value. Until that time, it will be difficult for musicians and listeners to understand what a reasonable price is. By fixing the price to 1 Musicoin, we can remove some confusion and uncertainty about how much one play should cost.

Note: Licenses that are currently priced at more than 1 Musicoin will be removed from the New Release and Coinboard pages, since the client will no longer allow them to be played.

UI/UX

• An improved "My Works" view that shows some statistics about how many times an item has been played, tipped, and how much it has earned overall.
• An improved release process, allowing the artist to view a human-readable version of the the PPP license before release.
• An improved "Playlist" UI, showing up to the first 10 items of a playlist and allowing the user to start playback from any point.
• An improved "History" view, showing the transactions associated with your account (plays and tips, incoming and outgoing).
• An visual indicator of the current version as well as the a "TestNetwork" indicator, showing that this app is still running on a test chain.

v0.0.7-alpha

This release includes a number of small changes to address startup and configuration to improve stability on Windows, OSX, and Linux.

Notably, the musicoin directory has been moved from APPDATA/musicoin to USERHOME/.musicoin. This means you will need to manually move your blockchain data. Here's where the blockchain data (including your accounts) was stored in previous versions:

Windows: C:/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/musicoin
OSX: /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Preferences/musicoin
Linux: /var/local/musicoin

And here's where is is going to:

Windows: C:/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/.musicoin
OSX: /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/.musicoin
Linux: /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.musicoin

You can copy the contents of the old folder to the new folder to migrate your data.

Config

• Switching musicoin application directory to ~/.musicoin on all platforms.
• Adding a script to handle extra setup tasks on Linux
• Updating ipfs startup command to init ipfs if needed

UI

• moved footer outside of the main page so it wouldn't overlap content (making it hard to see)
• remove skip login button

Other

• disabled price changes for new PPP contract
• Bug fixes

v0.0.6-alpha

• Bug fixes and removal of some old code that might have been causing a problem on linux.
• Added a small status bar to help diagnose issues

v0.0.5

Includes a fix for an issue that cause the app to crash immediately after launch on some systems. Also includes a startup screen that will show while the init sync is occurring.

v0.0.4-alpha

This release includes a fix for IPFS startup issues and also ensures that the coinbase is set to the current user's address when they turn on mining.

v0.0.3-alpha

Allows the user to turn mining on from inside the app.
Includes bug fixes for starting up child processes.
