2017-01-15Trim down the XP notice and say more about what we support.Gregory Maxwell
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.

2016-11-25doc: Improve windows build instructions using Linux subsystemWladimir J. van der Laan
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.

2016-11-02Merge `doc/unit-tests.md` into `src/test/README.md`Wladimir J. van der Laan
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.
2016-11-02IBD check uses minimumchain work instead of checkpoints.Gregory Maxwell
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.

2016-10-24Clarify `listenonion`unsystemizer
> 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. ``` 2016-10-24 06:19:22.551029 tor: Error connecting to Tor control socket 2016-10-24 06:19:22.551700 tor: Not connected to Tor control port 127.0.0.1:9051, trying to reconnect ``` ### What version of bitcoin-core are you using? 0.12.1

2016-10-17Documentation for Building on Windows with WSLpoole_party
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.
