Is it OK to stabilize =net-p2p/bitcoin-qt-0.6.2 ?

If so, please CC all arches which have stable keywords

for older versions of this package and add STABLEREQ keyword

to the bug.

I'd rather wait for 0.6.3, since 0.5.6_rc2 has more bugs fixed and 0.6.2 has some additional regressions.

Bugs fixed in 0.5.6_rc2, but still affect 0.6.2:
- Do not select first address automatically in the address book when sending (Bitcoin-Qt) -- NOTE: this one caused at least one person to send coins to the wrong recipient
- Hopefully final fix for the stuck blockchain issue
- Fix various database crashes and improve error checking
- Properly escape double-quote character in strings when exporting CSV
- Fix #952 by checking if we have a new address or an updated label
- Don't call exit() in Shutdown() for Bitcoin-Qt (fixes a tray-icon issue)
- Filter out whitespace and zero-width non-breaking spaces in Bitcoin address validator
- Properly store source addresses in database
- Remove redundant tooltip on optional transaction fee. Fixes #1218 (Bitcoin-Qt)
- Change initial balance on Overview page from "123.456 BTC" to "0 BTC" to not confuse users, whom might see it before we initialize with the real wallet balance (Bitcoin-Qt)
- Fix various places where Bitcoin-Qt was being shutdown improperly
- Hide UI immediately after leaving the main loop (Bitcoin-Qt)
- Various documentation corrections and debugging fixes

Regressions in 0.6 not yet fixed in 0.6.2:
- Fix protocol error by using a 64-bit nonce in ping message as required
- Fix crash if node stops before completely starting
- Fix version number displayed in "About Bitcoin-Qt"
- Allow tray icon to linger until Bitcoin-Qt shuts down completely. Fixes #908 (Bitcoin-Qt)
