This script attempts to download the signature file `SHA256SUMS.asc` from https://bitcoin.org.
It first checks if the signature passes, and then downloads the files specified in the file, and checks if the hashes of these files match those that are specified in the signature file.
It first checks if the signature passes, and then downloads the files specified in the file, and checks if the hashes of these files match those that are specified in the signature file.
The script returns 0 if everything passes the checks. It returns 1 if either the signature check or the hash check doesn't pass. If an error occurs the return value is 2.

Before every release candidate:
* Update translations (ping wumpus on IRC) see [translation_process.md](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/translation_process.md#syncing-with-transifex)
Before every minor and major release:
* Update [bips.md](bips.md) to account for changes since the last release.
* Update [bips.md](bips.md) to account for changes since the last release.

### Bitcoin maintainers/release engineers, update version in sources
Update the following:
- `configure.ac`:
- `_CLIENT_VERSION_MAJOR`
- `_CLIENT_VERSION_MINOR`
- `_CLIENT_VERSION_REVISION`
- Don't forget to set `_CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` to `true`
- `src/clientversion.h`: (this mirrors `configure.ac` - see issue #3539)
- `CLIENT_VERSION_MAJOR`
- `CLIENT_VERSION_MINOR`
- `CLIENT_VERSION_REVISION`
- Don't forget to set `CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` to `true`
- `doc/README.md` and `doc/README_windows.txt`
- `doc/Doxyfile`: `PROJECT_NUMBER` contains the full version
- `contrib/gitian-descriptors/*.yml`: usually one'd want to do this on master after branching off the release - but be sure to at least do it before a new major release
###Bitcoin maintainers/release engineers, update (commit) version in sources
Write release notes. git shortlog helps a lot, for example:
pushd ./bitcoin
git shortlog --no-merges v(current version, e.g. 0.7.2)..v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
contrib/verifysfbinaries/verify.sh
configure.ac
doc/README*
doc/Doxyfile
contrib/gitian-descriptors/*.yml
src/clientversion.h (change CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE to true)
# tag version in git
(or ping @wumpus on IRC, he has specific tooling to generate the list of merged pulls
and sort them into categories based on labels)
git tag -s v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
Generate list of authors:
# write release notes. git shortlog helps a lot, for example:
2. linux 32-bit and 64-bit dist tarballs (bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux[32|64].tar.gz)
2. linux 32-bit and 64-bit dist tarballs (`bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux[32|64].tar.gz`)
3. windows 32-bit and 64-bit unsigned installers and dist zips (bitcoin-${VERSION}-win[32|64]-setup-unsigned.exe, bitcoin-${VERSION}-win[32|64].zip)
3. windows 32-bit and 64-bit unsigned installers and dist zips (`bitcoin-${VERSION}-win[32|64]-setup-unsigned.exe`, `bitcoin-${VERSION}-win[32|64].zip`)
4. OS X unsigned installer and dist tarball (bitcoin-${VERSION}-osx-unsigned.dmg, bitcoin-${VERSION}-osx64.tar.gz)
4. OS X unsigned installer and dist tarball (`bitcoin-${VERSION}-osx-unsigned.dmg`, `bitcoin-${VERSION}-osx64.tar.gz`)

Wait for Windows/OS X detached signatures:
Once the Windows/OS X builds each have 3 matching signatures, they will be signed with their respective release keys.
Detached signatures will then be committed to the [bitcoin-detached-sigs](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin-detached-sigs) repository, which can be combined with the unsigned apps to create signed binaries.
Create (and optionally verify) the signed OS X binary:
