c1e5d40 Make debugging test crash easier (MeshCollider) 8263f6a Create walletdir if datadir doesn't exist and fix tests (MeshCollider) 9587a9c Default walletdir is wallets/ if it exists (MeshCollider) d987889 Add release notes for -walletdir and wallets/ dir (MeshCollider) 80c5cbc Add test for -walletdir (MeshCollider) 0530ba0 Add -walletdir parameter to specify custom wallet dir (MeshCollider) Pull request description: Closes #11348 Adds a `-walletdir` parameter which specifies a directory to use for wallets, allowing them to be stored separately from the 'main' data directory. Creates a new `wallets/` directory in datadir if this is the first time running, and defaults to using it if it exists. Includes tests and release notes. Things which might need to be considered more: - there is no 'lock' on the wallets directory, which might be needed? - because this uses a new wallets/ directory by default, downgrading to an earlier version won't see the wallets in that directory (not a big deal though, users can just copy them up to the main dir) - jnewbery suggested putting each wallet in its own directory, which is a good idea, but out of scope for this PR IMO. EDIT: this is being done in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11687 - doc/files.md needs updating (will do soon) I also considered including a cleanup by removing caching of data directory paths and instead just initialise them once on startup (c.f. #3073), but decided it wasn't super relevant here will just complicate review.

2017-11-13Merge #11438: Updated Windows build doc for WSL/Xenial workaroundWladimir J. van der Laan
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 Tree-SHA512: 7c937e37ed7120ae5dcf61aba50e5228a7ed6f729647c724b8f48e7cbbd81366c1a83a818618766a8fe0418425e05ba2eba2b14f2616621c58606585444f45fc
