Anyone that has an old wallet.dat from early Bitcoin-qt days has tested it by the way? Any problems?

Do legacy and segwit addresses show up fine the GUI? got some screenshots to see how it looks like? I can't install it currently, im out and will not be back home for a while.

The old wallet loaded OK but it is empty so I couldn't test beyond that. To use Segwit you need a new wallet anyway so I renamed that and it made a new Segwit one automatically. Getting a new receiving address give a Segwit one start '3'. I'm still trying to work out how to get a bech32 address.

Edit: Official release thread has appeared https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3024763.0
