2021-10-20doc: Add note on deleting past-EOL release branchesMarcoFalke
2021-09-14doc: Update snap release process for new versioning schemeMarcoFalke
2021-08-19doc: Mention the flat directory structure for uploadsAndrew Chow
The uploaded binaries need to match the same flat directory structure of the SHA256SUMS file in order for torrent downloaders to be able to verify the download without moving files. Mention this in the release process doc.
2021-08-05release: Release with separate SHA256SUMS and sig filesCarl Dong
This allows us to remove the rfc4880 EOL hacks and release with a SHA256SUMS.asc file that's a combination of all signer signatures.
2021-07-28guix, doc: Add a note that codesigners need to rebuild after taggingAndrew Chow
One of the issues observed during the 22.0rc1 release process was that a codesigner's attestation mismatched non-codesigner attestations because the guix-codesign step was performed prior to tagging the version in bitcoin-detached-sigs.

Will add more jumping links later so navigation is easier. Current TODOs: - [x] Shell installer option: prompt user to re-login for `/etc/profile.d` entry to be picked up - [x] Binary tarball option: prompt user to create `/etc/profile.d` entry and re-login - [x] Fanquake docker option: complete section - [x] Arch Linux AUR option: prompt to start `guix-daemon-latest` unit after finishing "optional setup" section - [x] Building from source option: Insert dependency tree diagram that I made - [x] Building from source option: redo sectioning, kind of a mess right now - [x] Optional setup: make clear which parts are only needed if building from source - [x] Workaround 1 for GnuTLS: perhaps mention how to remove Guix build farm's key - [x] Overall (after everything): Make the links work. Note to self: wherever possible, tell user how to check that something is true rather than branching by installation option. ACKs for top commit: fanquake: ACK fac4814106c796b8786dd90053513cc35142dfe5 - going to go ahead and merge this now. It's a lot of documentation, and could probably be nit-picked / improved further, however, that can continue over the next few weeks. I'm sure more (backportable) improvements / clarifications will be made while we progress through RCs towards a new release.

2021-01-29doc: Document use of make-tag script to make tagsWladimir J. van der Laan
To make release tags the `make-tag.py` script from the maintainer tools should be used. This ensures that all the various occurences of the version in different files match the tagged version before proceeding. Also replace other "ping wumpus" references.
2021-01-23doc: add instructions for generating RPC docsbenk10
Added instructions on how to generate the up to date RPC docs for the bitcoincore.org website in the relevant release-process subsection.
2020-12-18doc: Drop mentions of Travis CI as it is no longer usedHennadii Stepanov
2020-11-18Drop the leading 0 from the version numberAndrew Chow
Removes the leading 0 from the version number. The minor version, which we had been using as the major version, is now the major version. The revision, which we had been using as the minor version, is now the minor version. The revision number is dropped. The build number is promoted to being part of the version number. This also avoids issues where it was accidentally not included in the version number. The CLIENT_VERSION remains the same format as previous as previously, the Major version was 0 so that was never a factor in CLIENT_VERSION.

The original osslsigncode project (https://sourceforge.net/projects/osslsigncode/) has been marked as abandonware, "This is now - and has been for a long while - abandonware. Feel free to create your own forks etc.". However, a fork at https://github.com/mtrojnar/osslsigncode has emerged that has incorporated theuni's patches, updated the tool to work with OpenSSL 1.1 and made other improvements. This commit switches the windows signer descriptor to use this new version of osslsigncode.

- Create a release notes draft wiki for collaborative editing at https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki as seen for releases 0.17.0 and 0.18.0. - As per http://www.erisian.com.au/bitcoin-core-dev/log-2019-03-28.html#l-342, for the period during which the notes are being edited on the wiki, the version on the branch should be wiped and replaced with a link to the wiki which should be used for all announcements until final. - Before final, remove the "Needs release note" label from relevant PRs/issues and merge the release notes from the wiki into the branch. - Create a pinned meta-issue dedicated to testing the release candidate and communicate it in release announcements where useful. The former is done in practice (e.g. #15555, #14902) and the latter addresses the discussion here: https://x0f.org/web/statuses/101753569204220416. - Adapt and merge the updates in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15692. - Update the version numbers in all the examples. - Reorganise the headers in the Branch Updates section.

9d0e52834 implements different disk sizes for different networks on intro (marcoagner) 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!
