95464c7519 doc: Improve command to generate list of authors for release notes (Mitchell Cash) 1c22cc1af1 doc: Update broken links to now point to gitian-build.py (Mitchell Cash) Pull request description: - Update broken links - Improve command to generate list of authors for a release --- I also note that it asks to ping **wumpus** on IRC, to assist in generating a list of merged pulls and sort them into categories based on labels. I tried to turn this into a simple one-liner as well (something like ``git log --merges --format="- \`%h\` %s (%an)" v0.16.0..v0.16.1``), but it didn't seem to capture everything I needed. Would it be worthwhile **wumpus** open-sourcing his code into `contrib/devtools` so there is no single point of failure (even if it can manually be worked around).

Qt4.x has been EOL since 2015, and at least Gentoo has, or is going to drop support for it. I wouldn't be surprised if other Linux distributions follow. This removes Qt4 detection from the build system, as well as removes all Qt4 fallbacks from the code. Turns out there's more than I expected: this is going to make maintenance of the GUI code, as well as adding new features significantly easier.

There is also no manual pruning UI (`prune=1`). The user will have to use `bitcoin.conf` for those things. Fixes #6461. When combined with #13029 the user, after pruning their node, can safely reset settings and/or use bitcoind without having to edit `bitcoin.conf`.

docs: Linked to the 'Building on FreeBSD' section of the Unix guide where it lists BSD specific guides. Created a FreeBSD build guide (doc/build-freebsd.md). Added in warning about the version of 'gdb' installed by default. Removed the FreeBSD build instructions now that they have their own guide (doc/build-freebsd.md). Updated the sentence to refer to the BSD guides in the 'doc' directory for more specific BSD build instructions. Minor grammatical fix.

(Motivated by my opinion that the dev tools are mostly for generating code and updating the repo whereas the linters are read-only checks.) Also, adds a readme to clarify that checks and linters are only meant to prevent bugs and user facing issues, not merely stylistic preference or inconsistencies. (This is motivated by the diversity in developers and work flows as well as existing code styles. It would be too disruptive to change all existing code to a single style or too burdensome to force all developers to adhere to a single style. Also note that our style guide is changing, so locking in at the wrong style "too early" would only waste resources.)

This functionality has been requested for various reasons: - security (DoS): reject messages can reveal internal state that can be used to target certain resources such as the mempool more easily. - bandwidth: a typical node sends lots of reject messages; this counts against upstream bandwidth. Also the reject messages tend to be larger than the message that was rejected. On the other hand, reject messages can be useful while developing client software (I found them indispensable while creating bitcoin-submittx), as well as for our own test cases, so whatever the default becomes on the long run, IMO the functionality should be retained as option. But that's a discussion for later, for now it's simply a node operator decision. Also adds a RPC test that checks the functionality.

2018-05-03Merge #12729: Get rid of ambiguous OutputType::NONE valueWladimir J. van der Laan
1e46d8a Get rid of ambiguous OutputType::NONE value (Russell Yanofsky) Pull request description: Based on suggestion by @sipa https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12119#issuecomment-357982763 After #12119, the NONE output type was overloaded to refer to either an output type that couldn't be parsed, or to an automatic change output mode. This change drops the NONE enum and uses a simple bool to indicate parse failure, and a new CHANGE_AUTO enum to refer the change output type. This change is almost a pure refactoring except it makes RPCs reject empty string ("") address types instead of treating them like they were unset. This simplifies the parsing code a little bit and could prevent RPC usage mistakes. It's noted in the release notes. Follows up #12408 by @MarcoFalke Followups for future PRs: - [ ] Add explicit support for specifying "auto" in `ParseOutputType` as suggested by promag and sipa: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12729#issuecomment-374799567 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12729#discussion_r175969481 - [ ] Add wallet `AddressChangeType` method to complement `TransactionChangeType`: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12729#discussion_r175969618.
