I think it should be sufficient to only mention them in the wallet section and leave them out from the general RPC section. * Create an empty template to ensure the release notes can be cleared with a single `cp` command. Also, this ensures that the "no duplication" note isn't deleted again. (We used to have it in at least the 22.0 and 21.0 release notes: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.21.0.md#updated-settings , but it was lost in the 23.0 notes) ACKs for top commit: laanwj: ACK fa4943e8df2e1048a5030f1d93776ca2b9da7b8a Tree-SHA512: 808e100ee1e371f7746a479ddfb237c6895935cffefc0e49033505492a03288013d5c20386af30f2a7dca8ad0c0628bdb6673dcb5cc4fcf4d0183b0ec65ce941

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
