contrib/devtools/fix-copyright-headers.py script to be able to perform this maintenance task with ease during the rest of the year, every year. Modifications to contrib/devtools/README.md to document what fix-copyright-headers.py does.
Remove the need for global references `guiref` and
`splashref` by making the BitcoinGUI and SplashScreen
classes register for the UI interface signals themselves.
why:
- the current splash-screen has no referring to official images on - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Promotional_graphics
- the current splash screen only exists in a low res jpg
- current splash screen looks dark and "hackish"
- new splash screen should generate positive, "trust-emotions".
- new splash screen gives the user infos about the running client.
- new splash screen can handle long messages (in a lot of - languages the text is cropped in current release)
- new size (x2) 400x312
- contains textual information about the client
- textinfos are dynamicly written to the pixmap
when -testnet is switch on, the splashscreen will show the bitcoin logo in testnet-color (as well as a text [testnet])
