Hello,

I just released Electrum 0.43. 
You can get it from http://ecdsa.org/electrum

Changelog:
* this version fixes the wallet recovery issues encountered with 0.42
* support for the stratum protocol (over tcp and http).
* The default interface is now stratum/tcp; it is faster than the native interface.

This client still supports the native protocol, because the stratum interface is still in beta stage and might be modified.
