Merge #11702: [build] Add a script for installing db4
6e4cdd6 [docs] Add reference to install_db4.sh in OS X build instructions (James O'Beirne)
af9103e [build] Add a script for installing db4 (James O'Beirne)

Pull request description:

  Instead of maintaining rote instructions for building BerkeleyDB in `doc/build-{unix,openbsd}.md`, reference a script that does the same thing and can be called from unanticipated contexts, e.g. Docker builds.

  The script was written with portability in mind, though I haven't tested it on openbsd.

  I wasn't sure if we wanted to create a separate directory for this sort of thing (e.g. `contrib/install`) so I just stuck it in `contrib/`; happy to move it around if anyone has another preference.

af9103eb75 [build] Add a script for installing db4
Instead of maintaining not-easily-tested instructions for building BerkeleyDB
in doc/build-unix.md, package the installation as a script in contrib/. This
allows shared usage from a number of contexts, e.g. Docker.

Thanks to @jonasschnelli, @laanwj for feedback.

Merge #11438: Updated Windows build doc for WSL/Xenial workaround
7383d77 Updated instructions for Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. (Aaron Clauson)
e0fc4a7 Updated Windows build doc for WSL/Xenial workarounds. (Aaron Clauson)

Pull request description:

  An update to the Windows build document that provides workarounds for the broken 64 bit mingw32 cross compiler on WSL/Xenial.

  This update is an alternative to pull request #11437. While that pull request takes a valid approach by stating building on WSL should be avoided I think it is more useful to give Windows developers a workaround option.

  The instructions have been tested on:
  - Ubuntu 14.04 and 64 bit mingw32 tool chain
  - Ubuntu 16.04 and 64 bit mingw32 tool chain
  - Ubuntu 17.04 and 64 bit mingw32 tool chain
  - Windows Subsystem for Linux (Windows 10 OS Build 15063.608) and 32 bit mingw32 tool chain
  - Windows Subsystem for Linux (Windows 10 OS Build 15063.608) and 64 bit mingw32 tool chain

  Related items:
  - Serious incompatibility problems w/ newer mingw-64 on Ubuntu #8653
  - `-fstack-protector-all` triggers crashes in mingw-w64 5.3.1 #8732
  - Windows build appears broken on WSL (buntu okay) #10269
  - Compilation error for windows target #11437

696ce46 [Docs] Update Windows build instructions for using WSL and Ubuntu 17.04 (fanquake)
4f890ba Add new step to clean $PATH var by removing /mnt specific Window's %PATH% paths that cause issues with the make system (Donal OConnor)

Pull request description:

  This updates the Windows build documentation with the workaround required to build using Ubuntu 17.04 on WSL, and makes it's explicit that building on Ubuntu 16.04 is broken, and not recommended.

  This includes a commit from @donaloconnor in #11244, and is mostly the investigative work of @laanwj throughout #8732, #8653 and quite a few other issues.

  I tested building on 14.04, 16.04.3 and 17.04 [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11244#issuecomment-327990251) and got the results we expect.

  ---

  Built master at c22a53cd63 on a Windows 10 VM (Version 1607, OS Build 14393.1593) using WSL with Ubuntu 14.04.
  ![windows](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/863730/30195033-867f1f24-9489-11e7-932c-e87b8764a627.png)

  Upgraded WSL to 16.04.3, and tried building c22a53cd63 using these instructions. The result is as expected.
  ![ubuntu 16 04 3](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/863730/30235670-b9bf36bc-953d-11e7-8c1d-4debf7113032.png)

  Upgraded WSL to 17.04 and tried building 3255d6347b using these instructions.
  ![ubuntu 17 04](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/863730/30235669-b7473434-953d-11e7-8ea3-d05a319ae2d4.png)

  If someone else could also verify that builds are working on both 14.04 and 17.04 with these instructions, that would be great.

Merge #10779: Create dependencies.md
e91b96192 Create dependencies.md, and link dependencies file from README & build docs (flack)

Pull request description:

  As @fanquake mentioned in #8639, this should probably be a file in `doc/`, so I went ahead and pulled the issue text via the github API and dumped it into a file. No modifications made, except one spelling fix. This makes the info easier to find, and it will get a proper version history, too.

Merge #10825: net: set regtest JSON-RPC port to 18443 to avoid conflict with testnet 18332
ce3baa193 changed regtest RPCport to 18443 to avoid conflict with testnet 18332 (Ferdinando M. Ametrano)

Pull request description:

  using the same JSON-RPC default port for both testnet and regtest prevents running both at the same time on the same machine. Since RPCport=P2Pport-1 for both mainnet and testnet, and regtest P2Pport being 18444, 18443 is proposed for regtest RPCport

  Documentation has been updated (or created where missing); manpages doc/man/bitcoin*.1 could include information for regtest too

e067673 Avoid treating null RPC arguments different from missing arguments (Russell Yanofsky)
e666efc Get rid of redundant RPC params.size() checks (Russell Yanofsky)

Pull request description:

  This is a followup to #10783.

  - The first commit doesn't change behavior at all, just simplifies code.
  - The second commit just changes RPC methods to treat null arguments the same as missing arguments instead of throwing type errors.
  - The third commit updates developer notes after the cleanup.
  - The forth commit does some additional code cleanup in `getbalance`.

  Followup changes that should happen in future PRs:

  - [ ] Replace uses of `.isTrue()` with calls to `.get_bool()` so numbers, objects, and strings cause type errors instead of being interpreted as false. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133850525
  - [ ] Add braces around if statements. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133851133
  - [ ] Maybe improve UniValue type error exceptions and eliminate RPCTypeCheck and RPCTypeCheckArgument functions. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133829303

d342424301 Remove/ignore tx version in utxo and undo
This makes the following changes:
* In undo data and the chainstate database, the transaction nVersion
  field is removed from the data structures, always written as 0, and
  ignored when reading.
* The definition of hash_serialized in gettxoutsetinfo is changed to no
  longer incude the nVersion field. It is renamed to hash_serialized_2
  to avoid confusion. The new definition also includes transaction
  height and coinbase information, as this information was missing
  before.

This depends on having a CHashVerifier-based undo data checksum
verifier.

Apart from changing the definition of serialized_hash, downgrading
after using this patch is supported, as no release ever used the value
of nVersion field in UTXO entries.

e440ac7ef3 Introduce assumevalid setting to skip presumed valid scripts.
This disentangles the script validation skipping from checkpoints.

A new option is introduced "assumevalid" which specifies a block whos
 ancestors we assume all have valid scriptsigs and so we do not check
 them when they are also burried under the best header by two weeks
 worth of work.

Unlike checkpoints this has no influence on consensus unless you set
 it to a block with an invalid history.  Because of this it can be
 easily be updated without risk of influencing the network consensus.

This results in a massive IBD speedup.

This approach was independently recommended by Peter Todd and Luke-Jr
 since POW based signature skipping (see PR#9180) does not have the
 verifiable properties of a specific hash and may create bad incentives.

The downside is that, like checkpoints, the defaults bitrot and older
 releases will sync slower.  On the plus side users can provide their
 own value here, and if they set it to something crazy all that will
 happen is more time will be spend validating signatures.

Checkblocks and checklevel are also moved to the hidden debug options:
 Especially now that checkblocks has a low default there is little need
 to change these settings, and users frequently misunderstand them as
 influencing security or IBD speed.  By hiding them we offset the
 space added by this new option.

dd34570c45 doc: Improve windows build instructions using Linux subsystem
I did a build on a windows 10 laptop and took notes, and tried
to improve the document:

- It's the Linux subsystem for Windows, not the other way around.

- Split out dependencies: general ones, 64-bit, 32-bit. Remove the
  reference to `build-unix.md`, easy enough to be self-contained.

- Place 64-bit instructions first. 99% will want these.

- Installation instructions: recommend using `/` for prefix, same as we
  do on gitian builds. This will allow copying the files to a usable
  (from Windows) place using just `make DESTDIR=...`.

- Remove double spaces / consistent width reformatting.

fd46136dfa IBD check uses minimumchain work instead of checkpoints.
This introduces a 'minimum chain work' chainparam which is intended
 to be the known amount of work in the chain for the network at the
 time of software release.  If you don't have this much work, you're
 not yet caught up.

This is used instead of the count of blocks test from checkpoints.

This criteria is trivial to keep updated as there is no element of
subjectivity, trust, or position dependence to it. It is also a more
reliable metric of sync status than a block count.

3421e74601 Clarify listenonion
> This new feature is enabled by default if Bitcoin Core is listening, and a connection to Tor can be made. It can be configured with the -listenonion, -torcontrol and -torpassword settings. To show verbose debugging information, pass -debug=tor.

But it is correct to say that the feature is enabled *regardless* of whether a connection to Tor can be made.

I propose to clarify that so that users can eliminate these in their logs (when `listen=1` and no Tor).
And I think it's okay to clarify about the `listen` option, because on several occasions when I read this before I always assumed `listening` meant `server=1` which cost me a lot of time in troubleshooting.

- Bump boost version to 1.61 - one boost patch no longer needed.

- All checked with OpenBSD 5.9, except for the clang part, I left this
  as-is for someone adventurous.

- Mention overriding resource limits, OpenBSD's default ulimit does not
  suffice for building Bitcoin Core with gcc 4.9.3.

Add error and range-checking parsers for unsigned 32 and 64 bit numbers.
The 32-bit variant is required for parsing sequence numbers from the
command line in `bitcoin-tx` (see #8164 for discussion). I've thrown in
the 64-bit variant as a bonus, as I'm sure it will be needed at some
point.

Also adds tests, and updates `developer-notes.md`.
