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.
2017-01-13Introduce assumevalid setting to skip presumed valid scripts.Gregory Maxwell
This disentangles the script validation skipping from checkpoints. A new option is introduced "assumevalid" which specifies a block whos ancestors we assume all have valid scriptsigs and so we do not check them when they are also burried under the best header by two weeks worth of work. Unlike checkpoints this has no influence on consensus unless you set it to a block with an invalid history. Because of this it can be easily be updated without risk of influencing the network consensus. This results in a massive IBD speedup. This approach was independently recommended by Peter Todd and Luke-Jr since POW based signature skipping (see PR#9180) does not have the verifiable properties of a specific hash and may create bad incentives. The downside is that, like checkpoints, the defaults bitrot and older releases will sync slower. On the plus side users can provide their own value here, and if they set it to something crazy all that will happen is more time will be spend validating signatures. Checkblocks and checklevel are also moved to the hidden debug options: Especially now that checkblocks has a low default there is little need to change these settings, and users frequently misunderstand them as influencing security or IBD speed. By hiding them we offset the space added by this new option.

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.

2016-11-02IBD 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.
