    A little confused here.... git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git

    cat clientversion.h

    define CLIENT_VERSION_MAJOR 0

    define CLIENT_VERSION_MINOR 8

    define CLIENT_VERSION_REVISION 0

    define CLIENT_VERSION_BUILD 0

    Why not 0.8.1?

    Thank you

    Because 0.8.1 is not the current master. Master has progressed since the 0.8 family was released. 0.8.1 was a bugfix release based on 0.8.0 family, and, as such, has it's own branch.

    0.7------0.8.0-----master | ----0.8.1

    If you want to build 0.8.1, you would have to checkout onto that branch.

    Programming/git/bitcoin] $ git checkout 0.8.1 M src/protocol.h Previous HEAD position was 8ab14e6... Merge pull request #2384 from gmaxwell/trim_error0 Branch 0.8.1 set up to track remote branch 0.8.1 from origin. Switched to a new branch '0.8.1'

    Programming/git/bitcoin]$cat src/clientversion.h #ifndef CLIENTVERSION_H #define CLIENTVERSION_H

    // // client versioning //

    // These need to be macros, as version.cpp's and bitcoin-qt.rc's voodoo requires it #define CLIENT_VERSION_MAJOR 0 #define CLIENT_VERSION_MINOR 8 #define CLIENT_VERSION_REVISION 1 #define CLIENT_VERSION_BUILD 0

    @stephantual Can this issue be closed now? if so, you should have access to do this AFAIK.

    Yea, master is "0.9.0 dev". I agree that the client version should probably be bumped.
