f24ed6d39f Delete README_osx.md and move its contents into build-osx.md (Martin Erlandsson)
Pull request description:
With its current name, the file `doc/README_osx.md` looks like an entry point README for OSX users, but it only contains specific instructions on how to build a DMG.
This PR deletes the file and moves the contents of the file into `doc/build-osx.md`.

2ca632e5b4 test: Build fuzz targets into seperate executables (MarcoFalke)
fab4bed68a [test] fuzz: make test_one_input return void (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Currently our fuzzer is a single binary that decides on the first few bits of the buffer what target to pick. This is ineffective as the fuzzer needs to "learn" how the fuzz targets are organized and could get easily confused. Not to mention that the (seed) corpus can not be categorized by target, since targets might "leak" into each other. Also the corpus would potentially become invalid if we ever wanted to remove a target...
Solve that by building each fuzz target into their own executable.

a36d97d866 Default -whitelistforcerelay to off (Suhas Daftuar)
Pull request description:
No one seems to use this "feature", and at any rate the behavior of relaying transactions when they violate local policy is error-prone, if we ever consider changing the ban behavior of our software from one version to the next.
Defaulting this to off means that users who use -whitelist won't be unexpectedly surprised by this interaction. If anyone is still relying on this feature, it can still be explicitly turned on.

da6011826a Fix macOS launch-at-startup memory issue (Jonas Schnelli)
516437a1b7 Qt: remove macOS launch-at-startup option when compiled with > macOS 10.11 (Jonas Schnelli)
Pull request description:
The launch-at-startup API Bitcoin Core uses on macOS where removed in macOS 10.11 leading to a segmentation-fault due to the weak-linking when not actively compiled against SDK 10.11 (`-mmacosx-version-min=10.11`)
This PR removes the launch-at-startup feature on macOS when compiled with macOS min version > 10.11 (the default is always the macOS version you compile on).
**The depends built binaries (Gitian) are not affected since we are building with min macOS 10.10.**
Users self compiling on macOS > 10.11 can re-enable the feature by compiling with min version <= 10.11 (`CXXFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.11" CFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.11" ./configure`)
**Isn't there a new API from Apple?**
Yes, [there is](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/Chapters/CreatingLoginItems.html).
It will require to create a helper application which needs to be embedded in the .app folder (needs code signing as well). Developers willing to go down that rabbit hole are welcome.

645e905c32 doc: Add release notes for unloadwallet change to synchronous call (João Barbosa)
c37851de57 rpc: Make unloadwallet wait for complete wallet unload (João Barbosa)
Pull request description:
Currently the `unloadwallet` RPC is asynchronous, it only signals the intent to unload the wallet and then returns the response to the client. The actual unload can happen later and the client has no way to be notified of that.
This PR makes the `unloadwallet` RPC synchronous, meaning that it blocks until the wallet is fully unloaded.

Pull request description:
Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/13213.
Mostly, I layed out the concept to open the PR for refinement and getting feedback if the approach is okay. Changes are expected.
Two points:
- The values for both new consts `TESTNET_BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE` and `TESTNET_CHAIN_STATE_SIZE` is certainly not optimal; I just checked the size of my testnet3 related dirs and set them to little bit higher values. Which values should be used?
- Should we do something like this to regtest? Or these "niceties" do not matter when on regtest?
Thanks!

a46c8476e9 depends: disable unused qt features (fanquake)
73b46eeb7e depends: qt 5.9.7 (fanquake)
095e765975 depends: expat 2.2.6 (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This PR upgrades `expat` and `qt` in depends. The intention is to upgrade Qt in master to the latest point release of the current Qt LTS. This change can then be back-ported to the 0.17 branch (wether it makes it into 0.17.1 or not).
Then, sometime before the 0.18.0 release, we could move to using Qt 5.12+ in depends (which is also LTS). That discussion, as well as minimum supported Qt versions is in #13478.
### Qt 5.9.7
[Release announcement](https://blog.qt.io/blog/2018/10/23/qt-5-9-7-released/)
[Changelog](https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-70888?filter=20149)
### Expat 2.2.6
* Avoid doing arithmetic with NULL pointers in XML_GetBuffer
* Fix 2.2.5 regression with suspend-resume while parsing a document like <root/>
Full changelog [here](https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_2_6/expat/Changes)
a46c8476e9 disables a bunch of qt features we aren't currently using. This speeds up the qt depends build slightly (also decreases the size of the built `qt-5.9.7` tar by about 2%). The disabling is somewhat unintuitive, hence `[wip]` until after a travis run and gitian build.

While debugging an issue I was somewhat surprised to [learn](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14164#issuecomment-419752678) that we've moved `src/univalue` from https://github.com/jgarzik/univalue to https://github.com/bitcoin-core/univalue, that these repos are both maintained and they're different.
The first mention of using the bitcoin-core repo is from late 2015 in #7157. I didn't check when the last common ancestor commit is.
I couldn't find documentation as to why (these things just happen in open source of course), but at minimum we should make this more clear.
There's also the following line in `config.ac` that I'm not sure what to do with:

Pull request description:
This PR adds functionality to convert a script to a descriptor, given a `SigningProvider` with the relevant information about public keys and redeemscripts/witnessscripts.
The feature is exposed in `listunspent`, `getaddressinfo`, and `scantxoutset` whenever these calls are applied to solvable outputs/addresses.
This is not very useful on its own, though when we add RPCs to import descriptors, or sign PSBTs using descriptors, these strings become a compact and standalone way of conveying everything necessary to sign an output (excluding private keys).
Unit tests and rudimentary RPC tests are included (more relevant tests can be added once RPCs support descriptors).

75a4bf699f Update release-process.md to include RC version bumping (Andrew Chow)
04b0bc7425 build: include rc number in version number (Andrew Chow)
895e6bbb22 build: if VERSION_BUILD is non-zero, include it in the package version (Andrew Chow)
Pull request description:
As noted on IRC, the filenames of the gitian build results do not contain the 4th digit of the version number if it has one, e.g. 0.17.0.1 produces files with the number 0.17.0. Furthermore, when RC's are built, the resulting filenames are of the release version and do not include `rc` in them. This occurs because `configure.ac` is written to create version numbers of the form `major.minor.rev` instead of `major.minor.rev.build` and without any rc version as it does not handle rc numbers.
This PR changes `configure.ac` to include the build number if it is greater than 0. It will also include the rc number if it is greater than 0. So the filenames of the gitian builds will now contain the full version number.
This behavior can be tested by setting `_CLIENT_VERSION_BUILD` and `_CLIENT_VERSION_RC` to non-zero values and then doing `make dist`. A tar file should be created with the correct versioning.

As discussed in the issue, this is a feature request instead of a bug report since the behaviour was as intended (i.e. label with default: `''`). With this, the old behaviour is kept while the possibility to achieve the preservation of labels, as expected in the open issue, is added.

Pull request description:
Implementation of proposal in #14396.
This introduces `CWallet::IsChange(CScript&)` method and replaces original `CWallet::IsChange(CTxOut&)` method with overloaded version that delegates to the new method with *txout*'s `scriptPubKey`. In this way `TODO` note from the original method can still be addressed in a single place.

9605bbd315 Make clear function argument case in dev notes (Carl Dong)
Pull request description:
Rationale:
For new developers, they might be confused if they see that function arguments are sometimes `camelCase`'d in the codebase. This makes it clear that they _should_ be `snake_case`'d (maybe because no one's gotten to fixing them yet).

Pull request description:
The auto-generated RPC docs seem to work so far ( https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/ + 0.17.0 https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoincore.org/pull/618 ). There are some problems (the design of the list on the right is not ideal, and apparently the huge list of pages slows down jekyll), but that can be fixed later; people are already linking to the docs now and looking for them there
So I am adding the RPC docs to the release process.
The script is here and it is written in golang, since I am most confident in the language; if necessary, I can try to rewrite to python, which is more common in bitcoin tooling

Pull request description:
Implements issue https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/9463
New getnodeaddresses call gives access via RPC to the peers known by the node. It may be useful for bitcoin wallets to broadcast their transactions over tor for improved privacy without using the centralized DNS seeds. getnodeaddresses is very similar to the getaddr p2p method.
Please advise me on the best approach for writing an automated test. By my reading the getaddr p2p method also isn't really tested.

New getnodeaddresses call gives access via RPC to the peers known by
the node. It may be useful for bitcoin wallets to broadcast their
transactions over tor for improved privacy without using the
centralized DNS seeds. getnodeaddresses is very similar to the getaddr

Tests the new rpc call by feeding IP address to a test node via the p2p
protocol, then obtaining someone of those addresses with
getnodeaddresses and checking that they are a subset.
f1bd03eb01 [depends, zmq, doc] upgrade zeromq to 4.2.5 and avoid deprecated zeromq api functions (mruddy)
Pull request description:
Upgrade the ZeroMQ dependency from version 4.2.3 to the latest stable version 4.2.5.
This PR Follows the lead of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11986.
I upgraded both patch files to correspond to the version `4.2.5` libzmq files.
I assume doing so is still necessary and correct.
Without updating the patch line numbers, things appear to work, but you get extra log messages while building `depends` because things don't exactly match, e.g.:
```
/bitcoin/depends> make zeromq
Extracting zeromq...
/bitcoin/depends/sources/zeromq-4.2.5.tar.gz: OK
Preprocessing zeromq...
patching file src/windows.hpp
Hunk #1 succeeded at 58 (offset 3 lines).
patching file src/thread.cpp
Hunk #1 succeeded at 307 with fuzz 2 (offset 87 lines).
Hunk #2 succeeded at 323 with fuzz 2 (offset 90 lines).
```
Updating the patches seemed cleaner, so I did it. Note that libzmq had some whitespace changes, so that's why the updated patches do too.

fa14b54a87 p2p: Disable BIP 61 by default (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The live p2p network should not be used for debugging or as development aid when implementing the p2p protocol. Instead, applications should be tested locally (e.g. by inspecting the debug log of a validating node on the local network)
Using the p2p network for this purpose seems wasteful and even dangerous, as peers can not be trusted to send the correct reject messages or a reject message at all.

I also note that it asks to ping **wumpus** on IRC, to assist in generating a list of merged pulls and sort them into categories based on labels. I tried to turn this into a simple one-liner as well (something like ``git log --merges --format="- \`%h\` %s (%an)" v0.16.0..v0.16.1``), but it didn't seem to capture everything I needed.
Would it be worthwhile **wumpus** open-sourcing his code into `contrib/devtools` so there is no single point of failure (even if it can manually be worked around).

This adds a new RPC method `getzmqnotifications`, which returns information about all active ZMQ notification endpoints. This is useful for software that layers on top of bitcoind, so it can verify that ZeroMQ is enabled and also figure out where it should listen.
See #13526.

bad068ad9f build: Build system changes to support only Qt5 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
Implements #8263.
Qt4.x has been EOL since 2015, and at least Gentoo has, or is going to drop support for it. I wouldn't be surprised if other Linux distributions follow.
This removes Qt4 detection from the build system, as well as removes all Qt4 fallbacks from the code. Turns out there's more than I expected: this is going to make maintenance of the GUI code, as well as adding new features significantly easier.
(I know there's still some references left to qt4 in RPM and Debian build script, but I don't have the knowledge how to fix them)

c9924a2756 Fix incorrect shell quoting in FreeBSD build instructions. (murrayn)
Pull request description:
The current instructions suggest:
BDB_PREFIX='$PWD/db4'
which results in BDB_PREFIX being set, literally, to '$PWD/db4'.

906bee8e5f Use bracket syntax includes ("#include <foo.h>") (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
When analysing includes in the project it is often assumed that the preferred bracket include syntax (`#include <foo.h>`) mentioned in `developer-docs.md` is used consistently. @sipa:s excellent circular dependencies script [`circular-dependencies.py`](50c69b7801/contrib/devtools/circular-dependencies.py) (#13228) is an example of a script making this reasonable assumption.
This PR enables automatic Travis checking of the include syntax making sure that the bracket syntax includes (`#include <foo.h>`) is used consistently.

67e0e04140 [wallet] [docs] Update release notes for removing `getlabeladdress` (John Newbery)
81608178cf [wallet] [rpc] Remove getlabeladdress RPC (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
labels are associated with addresses (rather than addresses being
associated with labels, as was the case with accounts). The
getlabeladdress does not make sense in this model, so remove it.
getaccountaddress is still supported for one release as the accounts
API is deprecated.

cbede7dbfd [qt] OptionsDialog: add prune setting (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
The default suggested value is 2 GB. Minimum is 1 GB (550 MB rounded up).
When the user toggles this setting, a strong warning appears that undoing requires re-downloading the chain:

Tooltip points out that actual disk usage can be higher. It's a bit vague on the "advanced features", because I'm assuming anyone who needs to use `-rescan` and `-txindex` will read the documentation, and a more detailed text would needlessly confuse everyone else.

The UI uses gigabytes for readability and easy of use. There is also no manual pruning UI (`prune=1`). The user will have to use `bitcoin.conf` for those things.
Fixes#6461. When combined with #13029 the user, after pruning their node, can safely reset settings and/or use bitcoind without having to edit `bitcoin.conf`. However I don't think that's an essential prerequisite.
