I have head of the automatic bitcoin address generation feature for every transaction. I have done multiple transaction, but I still have the same addresses (I have two addresses). I would like to enable the automatic address generation feature. Where is it? I am using the original bitcoin-qt client.

The standard Bitcoin software up to version 0.4.x had a GUI based on wxWidgets rather than QT. For version 0.5 it was merged with the then-separate bitcoin-qt.
The older version allowed you to select an address to be displayed in the overview. If you received funds to an address while it is selected, Bitcoin would automatically generate a new address.
I don't believe this functionality still exists in the QT version. It does however still generate new addresses for change.
I'm not sure if the Satoshi (Qt) client has that feature for receiving addresses. But I thought it at least always makes new addresses for change... – Steven Roose – 2013-06-18T14:28:27.393
2It's about how you use it: every time you give an address to someone to receive a transaction, ask for a new address. – Pieter Wuille – 2013-06-18T15:14:13.157
