For those of you that have received dust spam (transactions with 0.00000001 ltc other tiny amounts), you may have trouble sending your coins. If you try to send coins, your client might be stuck trying to sort through all those transactions to come up with a list of inputs. ArtForz made a simple suggestion to have the create transaction code ignore transactions below a certain user-configurable amount. I will implement this soon and release a new client. Stay tuned.

Here's the fix: https://github.com/coblee/litecoin/commit/f6fdedcf732265391eebbba48e8c537077b10f01

Windows binary coming up shortly.

Litecoin version 0.5.0.8 released.
https://github.com/downloads/coblee/litecoin/litecoin-windows-client-0.5.0.8.zip

You only need to download this if you have been sent dust spam and are having trouble dealing with it slowing down or crashing your client when you send coins. This new binary should fix the problem. When you run this new client, you will not be able to spend any coins that were sent to you in a transaction less than 0.0001 LTC. If you really need to spend those coins, you can start the client with "-mininput=0.00000001"
