I updated the Mac Wallet with these changes and improved the miner a bit. Version 0.2 can be downloaded from http://qcnpool.org or https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/iug37pjlnh0j72r/Quazarcoin-Wallet-0.2.zip.

Linux source available somewhere?

Sure https://github.com/quazarcoin/quazarcoin

You have to install boost 1.55 or 1.53 (not 1.54).

nothing updated about that source. Release notes say 0.8.9, i have had that for weeks. unless release notes haven't been updated that is.
