Wallet 0.5.0 (Beta 8)

This is the first Homestead ready release of the wallet. This doesn't mean it's bug free, but it's certainly the more stable release we've ever done as it fixes some very common bugs. We also did our best attempts to when it fails, it fails gracefully, communicating to the user how to proceed to fix it. Many critical issues of the wallet are already identified and have been fixed on a deluge of fixes coming on geth after homestead, including much faster sync and download times.

Changes in this version:

• Supports Go-ethereum Homestead edition
• Implements address checksum to ensure address validity
• Fixes a sync issue with windows
• Fixes a very common bug that would prevent the wallet to start in MacOSX
• Wallets are now deployed full for now, so they cost more but have not those bugs described here (e.g. no stub contract is used). This will be fixed after homestead, after which we then can deploy stubs properly again.
• Fixes some interface issues

Note: eth isn't bundled on OSX with the Ethereum-Wallet, but that you can start an eth node before starting Mist, and the wallet will connect to it.
