Please help test 0.5 release candidate 1



Summary:

The Bitcoin developer community is requesting help from those familiar with cross-compiling using mingw to update the Windows build process. The release of version 0.5.0rc1 includes a switch from wxWidgets for the GUI to Qt, using Wladimir J. van der Laan's bitcoin-qt due to a lack of wxWidgets programmers contributing fixes or improvements. This version introduces new JSON-RPC commands such as getmemorypool, listsinceblock, signmessage and verifymessage, while deprecated JSON-RPC features include 'midstate' data item from getwork requests and deprecated JSON-RPC commands that have been removed are setlabel, getlabel, getaddressesbylabel, getamountreceived, getallreceived, and getreceivedbylabel. A complete list of changes can be obtained by running "git shortlog --no-merges v0.4.0..".
