A green testnet splashscreen with a normal, orange dock icon looks strange and can confuse users.

So we stop getting pull requests (like #2604) fixing problems with disabled Script opcodes.
A hard fork would be required to re-enable these, and if we ever did that we'd require extensive review and testing.
When debugging another issue, I found a hang-during-startup race condition due to
LoadWallet calling SetMinVersion (via LoadCryptedKey).
Writing to the file that you're in the process of reading is a bad idea.
Bitcoin-Qt could core dump if application initialization failed in certain ways.
I double-fixed this:
1) qt/bitcoin.cpp now shuts down core threads cleanly if AppInit2 returns false
2) init.cpp now exits before StartNode() if strErrors is set (no reason to StartNode if we're just going to exit immediately anyway).
Tested by triggering all of the various ways AppInit2 can fail, either by passing bogus command-line arguments or just recompiling tweaked code to simulate failure.
This is a partial fix for #2480
Instead of killing a connection when the receive buffer overflows,
just temporarily halt receiving before that happens. Also, no
matter what, always allow at least one full message in the receive
buffer (otherwise blocks larger than the configured buffer size
would pause indefinitely).
It is possible to have a wallet.dat file without any bestblock
record at all (if created offline, for example), which - when
loaded into a client with a up-to-date chain - does no rescan and
shows no transactions.
Also make sure to write the current best block after a rescan, so
it isn't necessary twice.
* Bugfix: output the correct best block hash (during IBD, it can
differ from the actual current best block)
* Add height to output
* Add hash_serialized, which is a hash of the entire UTXO state.
Can be useful to compare two nodes.
* Add total_amount, the sum of all UTXOs' values.
Previously, JSON-RPC clients accessed URI "/", and the JSON-RPC server
did not care about the URI at all, and would accept any URI as valid.
Change the JSON-RPC server to require URI "/" for all current accesses.
This changes enables the addition of future interfaces at different
URIs, such as pull request #1982 which demonstrates HTTP REST wallet
download.
Or, a future, breaking change in JSON-RPC interface could be introduced
by serving JSON-RPC calls from new URI "/v2/".
This value gets stale really quickly, do not hardcode it into a message.
Completely remove it for now.
Later on, a mechanism will be added to determine fees based on the mempool.
Closes#2576
On black toolbars, the new icon doesn't look very well.
Now the toolbar icon has again a transparent "B" for better style on toolbars.
Does not affect the mac client.

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])
example: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7383846/new_bitcoin_splash.png
- this solution works stable on mac and ensures that the window get's reopened when the user clicks the dock icon .
- tested on 10.8 with Qt4.8.4 and Qt5.0.1

Having the export button at the top was confusing people into thinking
the entire wallet was exported.
This commit moves the export button to the address book, receiving
addresses and transaction tabs separately.
Every block index entry currently requires a separately-allocated
CBigNum. By replacing them with uint256, it's just 32 bytes extra
in CBlockIndex itself.
This should save us a few megabytes in RAM, and less allocation
overhead.
- updates ClientModel::getBlockSource() to return all available states and
sorts enum BlockSource in order of usage cases (none default, then reindex,
import and network)
- updates BitcoinGUI::setNumBlocks() to better use getBlockSource() and
also adds a message, when we have NO block source available
- continue the mac behavior of clearing button icons (because it's unusual on mac apps)
- fix: new button variable names, new buttons (verifyMessage, signMessage)

This introduces the concept of the 'sync node', which is the one we
asked for missing blocks. In case the sync node goes away, a new one
will be selected.
For now, the heuristic is very simple, but it can easily be extended
later to add better policies.
- added languages in bitcoin.qrc: bs, ca, cy, eo, gu_IN, hi_IN, ja, la,
lv_LV and th_TH (some translations files were already in src/qt/locale
but not added in the .qrc file
- new windows .ico contains multiple resolutions up to 256px
- new testnet (green) icon
- new png icon for llinux, etc.
- new doxygen icon
- changed the assets-attribution.txt

- this allows us to use the progressbar and the label independently (if
needed) and still prevents setStatusTip() to use them, if one of the 2
is active
It seems there were two mechanisms for assessing whether a CNode
was still in use: a refcount and a release timestamp. The latter
seems to have been there for a long time, as a safety mechanism.
However, this timer also keeps CNode objects alive for far longer
than necessary after disconnects, potentially opening up a DoS
window.
This commit removes the timestamp-based mechanism, and replaces
it with an assert(nRefCount >= 0), to verify that the refcounting
is indeed correctly working.
As these were not updated when 'backporting' the 225430 checkpoint
into head.
Additionally, also report verification progress in debug.log, and
tweak the sigcheck-verification-speed-factor a bit.
- use labelExplanation for sending and receiving tab and move the string
from the ui-file to the source
- ensure that the table holding the label and address is resized so that
the address column fits the address and the label column is stretched to
fit the window size
- rename some stuff for much easier readbility in the code (I find it hard
to get the meaning of stuff like labels or buttons)
Two reasons for this change:
1. Need to always use boost::thread's sleep, even on Windows, so the
sleeps can be interrupted (prior code used Windows' built-in Sleep).
2. I always forgot what units the old Sleep took.
Create a boost::thread_group object at the qt/bitcoind main-loop level
that will hold pointers to all the main-loop threads.
This will replace the vnThreadsRunning[] array.
For testing, ported the BitcoinMiner threads to use its
own boost::thread_group.
- adds 6 methods in BitcoinGUI to access some actions needed by the new
WalletView class
- updates WalletView class to use these instead of trying to duplicate
these
- cleanup walletview.{cpp/h} and remove all unneeded stuff
- this fixes problems with tabs toolbar (#2451) and export broken (#2436)
- more details in #2447
- added new created and documented svg version of shaded icon
- changed "B" background to white (no longer transparent)
- removed PSD (Adobe Photoshop) document
- license is now MIT

- as QClipboard::Selection isn't available on Windows ensure that the
correct mode is called, but sill allow selection for e.g. X11
- start conversion from QCoreApplication::instance() to qApp in
guiutil.cpp (I intend to harmonize this all over the source with my Qt5
compatibility pull)
This will result in re-requesting invs if we are under heavy inv
load, however as long as we get no more than 16,000 invs in two
minutes, this should have no effect on runtime behavior.
