   Posted on bitcointalk, let me know if you want me to split it all into multiple issues.

   1. New client does not recognize testnet=1 over bitcoin.conf file. Using -testnet over command line helped but then …

   Verified this, the GUI indeed doesn’t support providing -testnet/-regtest/… in the config file at the moment.

   1. New client failed to recognize testnet datadir (testnet3) is a subdirectory of datadir root so it shocked me a bit to see 0 coins and no blockchain downloaded. To solve issue, I had to copy all data from testnet3 subdirectory to datadir root (are we getting testnet4 maybe?).

   I cannot reproduce this. Everywhere I’ve tested, testnet is still in testnet3 inside the data directory.

   Wasn’t this caused by the client ignoring -testnet in the configuration file?

   Are you doing anything special with regard to command line arguments? What is in your bitcoin.conf / command line?

   [Leaving 3 and 4 which are coin-control specific details to @cozz]

   1. Not related to Coin Control but annoying, there is no “Copy address” upon right-clicking some receiving address nor address itself is shown

   This is as intended. The QR code window that appears when you request a payment or double-click an earlier invoice has a ‘copy address’ button.

   about 3) see #3846

   about 4) No critical bug, it only means that manual created change addresses always appear in their own group in tree mode. The wallet only can consider addresses without an address book entry as change. There is a big fat TODO in CWallet::IsChange(..) already. Unless we change the way the wallet recognizes change in general, there is not much I can do about this for now. @laanwj I noticed the final linux builds are qt4, but windows is qt5. Any reason?

   Yes, Linux builds will keep using Qt4 for the forseeable feature, because it’s more compatible.

    bitcoin-qt.exe -testnet -datadir=D:\BitcoinTestnetData

    server=1 rpcuser=(usernamegoeshere) rpcpassword=(passwordgoeshere) rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 rpcport=8332 testnet=1 banscore=10 listen=0 onlynet=IPv4 par=1 printtoconsole=1

    Have you tried with rc3?

    RC3 works fine except issue with checkboxes, as explained earlier.

    The checkbox problem is not critical and was thus not backported to 0.9. It will be fixed in the next release. Thanks for testing.
