For me it is 0.3.21

Pros:
+ No forced transaction fees for tx over 0.01
+ Nice looking GUI
+ CPU and room heating feature a.k.a CPU mining is still there

Cons:
- rare DoS vulnerability
- rare bugs causing application to hang
- longer initial blockchain download

Using 0.4.1 right now but it sucks, it forces to add tx fee when sending new coins. Tx fee are bad when you are playing satoshi dice.

Does that version have the wallet encryption feature? If not, how do you encrypt your wallet? And why in the world would you need the CPU Mining option? How many decades do you expect to wait to mine 0.00000001 BTC with CPU hashing power? Huh

It does not have wallet encryption feature. And the feature of later versions are largely useless because the malware can easily intercept the passphrase protecting wallet. I encrypt my whole system disk with TrueCrypt in case if my computers gets confiscated or stolen. The CPU miner option are almost useless for mining bitcoins but it is a good to have it as a stability test because various CPU benchmark programs test only parts of CPU for overclock stability or to additionally heat room in cold winter days.

Even 0.7.0 still has CPU mining. Just not accessible through the GUI.

Was not it removed from code also in 0.5.0 version? I can't get it running trough bitcoin.conf since 0.5.0
