Just a small note of caution for those joining in testing.

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/3529
Currently the master branch has this issue where leveldb renames all of .sst files to .ldb.  This makes running the 0.8.x version of Bitcoin think the index is corrupt.  Until a fix is included in Bitcoin master, a workaround to allow 0.8.x to work again is to simply rename all the files from .ldb back to .sst.  

(This workaround worked for me today but failed yesterday.  It's possible I made an error yesterday.  If it fails for you please report as we really need to know if there are other leveldb incompatibilities.)

The fix for Bitcoin's leveldb is being discussed here.

Hello all,

It has been way to long since last major release. Many improvements and new features have been added to master since, so we'd like to do a 0.9rc1 release soon.

The current aim is next month, February 2014.

Of course there are still some open issues that need to be resolved before release
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues?milestone=12&state=open

If there is something else that you're working on and needs to end up in 0.9, or know of some nasty bug in master that should absolutely be solved first, please tell.
