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.

The big notice at the top of the release note is not interesting
to most users now and apparently comes across poorly to some.
Better to provide more information about what we do support.
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.
2fb98f6 Fix bug in dmg builder so that it actually reads in the configuration file (Don Patterson)
b01667c Mention RSVG dependency when creating the disk image on OSX (Jonas Schnelli)
09aefb5 build: Fix 'make deploy' for OSX (Cory Fields)
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.
Refer to the right file in the top-level README.md.
Having only one file with test documentation saves some confusion about
where things are documented.
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.
> 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.

### What version of bitcoin-core are you using?
0.12.1
The new Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows a user to run a bash shell directly on Windows in an Ubuntu based environment. This can be used to cross-compile Bitcoin directly on Windows without the need for a separate Linux VM or Server. The instructions included in this commit explain how to configure the environment and build Bitcoin Core using this new feature.

Instruct people to add all the known pgp keys to their keyring so that gverify will print more useful info.
These are changes I needed to get gitian building to work with Debian
8.2, which is the version we tell to use.
- Set up NAT, so that container can access network beyond host
- Remove explicit cgroup setup - these are mounted automatically now
- Add new translations (finally, after a long time)
- update-translation script was not considering new translations - oops
- fixed this, also remove (nearly) empty translations
- Update translation process, it was still describing the old repository
structure
Adds 127.0.0.1:9050 for the .onion proxy if we can succesfully connect
to the control port.

Assume that when a wallet transaction has a valid block hash and transaction position
in it, the transaction is actually there. We're already trusting wallet data in a
much more fundamental way anyway.
To prevent backward compatibility issues, a new record is used for storing the
block locator in the wallet. Old wallets will see a wallet file synchronized up
to the genesis block, and rescan automatically.
done automatically.
At some point along the line, fully offline builds were no longer happening
when strictly following the release-process.md instructions.
We should ensure that users who might want to torify or build offline need
to take extra steps to remain offline.
Also, corrections to build process: including gverify examples for new builders.

This is an ideal version of what the release process should look like,
making it more consistent with the OS X process. Some of the changes
described here would need to be made in the descriptors, which is somewhat
beyond what I would feel comfortable doing, not really understanding the signature process in depth.
[skip ci]
Rather than fetching a signature.tar.gz from somewhere on the net, instruct
Gitian to use a signature from a tag in the bitcoin-detached-sigs repository
which corresponds to the tag of the release being built.
This changes detached-sig-apply.sh to take a dirname rather than a tarball as
an argument, though detached-sig-create.sh still outputs a tarball for
convenience.

- Split linux32/linux64 releases
- Split win32/win64 zips
- Post-processing should no longer be required. The deterministic outputs are
ready for consumption.
- switching release builds to 10.7
- release binary looks like 64bit only
- tested up to 10.10
- gitian builder builds against 10.7. The docs should be consistant.
- remove 32bit text because nowadays it's obvious to support 64bit only on OSX.
Start the RPC server before doing all the (expensive) startup
initialisations like loading the block index. Until the node is ready,
return all calls immediately with a new error signalling "in warmup"
with an appropriate status message (similar to the init message).
This is useful for RPC clients to know that the server is there (e. g.,
they don't have to start it) but not yet available. It is used in
Namecoin and Huntercoin already for some time, and there exists a UI
hooked onto the RPC interface that actively uses this to its advantage.
The homebrew instructions were outdated - berkeley-db4 hasn't worked for months, based on the questions I'm seeing on Google/SO. So I added a section explaining how to install berkeley-db4 using homebrew and move on with your life. Thanks for the rest of the documentation!
Bitcoin core should work with any remotely recent boost version
if a proper build environment is present. Remove a confusing comment
from the build documentation.
Anyone building bitcoind/-qt on windows is welcome to contribute
a new one. The current information in this document is outdated,
or otherwise mostly worthless.
The wallet now uses the mempool fee estimator with a new
command-line option: -txconfirmtarget (default: 1) instead
of using hard-coded fees or priorities.
A new bitcoind that hasn't seen enough transactions to estimate
will fall back to the old hard-coded minimum priority or
transaction fee.
-paytxfee option overrides -txconfirmtarget.
Relaying and mining code isn't changed.
For Qt, the coin control dialog now uses priority estimates to
label transaction priority (instead of hard-coded constants);
unspent outputs were consistently labeled with a much higher
priority than is justified by the free transactions actually
being accepted into blocks.
I did not implement any GUI for setting -txconfirmtarget; I would
suggest getting rid of the "Pay transaction fee" GUI and replace
it with either "target number of confirmations" or maybe
a "faster confirmation <--> lower fee" slider or select box.
This is PR #4271, but with the changes to the descriptors, both the names of the
files and the names of the intermediate build artifact archives, removed.
This also closes#3775 if it goes in, because it covers the changes in
that PR.
New RPC methods: return an estimate of the fee (or priority) a
transaction needs to be likely to confirm in a given number of
blocks.
Mike Hearn created the first version of this method for estimating fees.
It works as follows:
For transactions that took 1 to N (I picked N=25) blocks to confirm,
keep N buckets with at most 100 entries in each recording the
fees-per-kilobyte paid by those transactions.
(separate buckets are kept for transactions that confirmed because
they are high-priority)
The buckets are filled as blocks are found, and are saved/restored
in a new fee_estiamtes.dat file in the data directory.
A few variations on Mike's initial scheme:
To estimate the fee needed for a transaction to confirm in X buckets,
all of the samples in all of the buckets are used and a median of
all of the data is used to make the estimate. For example, imagine
25 buckets each containing the full 100 entries. Those 2,500 samples
are sorted, and the estimate of the fee needed to confirm in the very
next block is the 50'th-highest-fee-entry in that sorted list; the
estimate of the fee needed to confirm in the next two blocks is the
150'th-highest-fee-entry, etc.
That algorithm has the nice property that estimates of how much fee
you need to pay to get confirmed in block N will always be greater
than or equal to the estimate for block N+1. It would clearly be wrong
to say "pay 11 uBTC and you'll get confirmed in 3 blocks, but pay
12 uBTC and it will take LONGER".
A single block will not contribute more than 10 entries to any one
bucket, so a single miner and a large block cannot overwhelm
the estimates.
Upgrade for https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt
Just in case - there is no vulnerability that affects ecdsa signing or
verification.
The MITM attack vulnerability (CVE-2014-0224) may have some effect on
our usage of SSL/TLS.
As long as payment requests are signed (which is the common case), usage
of the payment protocol should also not be affected.

1411a51 doc: Update hash in release process for new windows deps intermediate (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
386e732 gitian: make linux qt intermediate deterministic (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
I added a link to my guide about using docker containers + LXC (I am planning to maintain this at work
for future bitcoin versions), then I mentioned other virtualization options (KVM, LXC).
This commit includes a fix issue for documentation issue #4269 that consists in telling users to
checkout correct bitcoin version before using the gitian descriptors (otherwise all hell can break loose).
Also, I replaced URL for Debian 7.4 ISO with a correct one and added link to official Debian ISO sources.
A qt installation date snuck into the host utils (lrelease etc)
This doesn't affect the end product, so no dependency version bump.
It also doesn't explain why gavin's and mine build is different
There is no need to use any specific version of boost on Linux/Unix.
Even 1.37 should still work.
Also the mention of boost-dev doesn't belong after adding oldstable.
Remove it. libboost-all-dev is already mentioned earlier.

3ab1664 gitian: build against Qt 4.6 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
The year is 2014. All supported operating systems have IPv6 support,
most certainly at build time (this doesn't mean that IPv6 is configured,
of course).
If noone is exercising the functionality to disable it, that means it
doesn't get tested, and IMO it's better to get rid of it.
(it's also not used consistently in RPC/boost and Net code...)
Run this script from the root of the repository to update all translations from transifex.
It will do the following automatically:
- create a transifex configuration file
- fetch all translations
- post-process them into valid and committable format
This is a project-wide configuration file and should be the same for
everyone.
Also remove mention of creating it yourself from the translation process.
- People were having problems with the .so when installing in
alternative locations.
Like gitian, build a static library with -fPIC that can
be embedded into the executables.
- Add some missing steps
- Add reminder that BerkeleyDB is only needed when wallet support is
enabled
Should make it possible to run the resulting GUI executable on
Linux distributions that use Qt 4.6, such as Debian Wheezy and Tails.
Builds a mini-SDK for building against Qt 4.6. This includes the headers
as well as host utilities such as `lrelease`, `qrc` and `moc`.
This speeds up the gitian build a bit - libqt4-dev pulled in a lot of packages,
and is no longer needed as this provides a replacement of our own.
Note: This does not replace the Qt build with at static library. After this
commit we still build dynamically against the system Qt library. The only
difference is that compatibility with an older version is maintained. This
loses minor GUI functionality (such as setPlaceholderText) but still
allows integration into the window management of the host OS, unlike
when statically linking.
The patch to make it possible to configure the LXC IPs has been merged
upstream. This means that it is no longer needed to patch gitian.
Remove that workaround.
Drawback: The version string is no longer a valid git identifier.
For this reason the 'g' short hash prefix has been removed.
Exception: When building directly from a tag this behaves exactly like the previous behavior.
This allows formatting release versions with precision i.e. v0.9.2
This also allows arbitrary topicbranch names i.e. v0.9.1-glibc-compat

Bumps deps-linux, deps-win dependency versions as well.
qt-win does not need to be bumped, as although it depends on deps-win,
Qt doesn't use miniupnp. I verified this by rebuilding the dependency
and checking the the output is the same. Not having to rebuild Qt is a
good thing as it is huge.
Now that 0.9 is branched off, the new release notes for 0.10 or 0.11 or
1.0 should be added here.
Edits to preliminary 0.9.0 release notes should be made in the 0.9.0 branch.
The FTP server what we get libpng from only keeps the latest version in its main folder. Older versions are in the "history" folder. Apparently version 1.6.9 has been released, so 1.6.8 has moved to the history folder.
