mingw upgrade allows more hardening, compiler bug fixes and possibily win64 later.
Rename deps .zip files to be more consistent in revision format.
Litecoin: Reuse bitcoin-0.9 win32 deps.
* x86_64 and Intel MacOS X always uses scrypt-sse2, non-x86 uses scrypt-generic.
* x86 (not Mac) detects cpuid features and chooses sse2 or generic during runtime.
How to Build with SSE2 Support
==============================
* make litecoind with USE_SSE2=1
* qmake with USE_SSE2=1
This commit squashes all the changes in the Qt5 branch
relative to master.
Backward compatibility with Qt4 is retained.

Compiling on my OSX 10.6 build machine, I get:
Undefined symbols:
"boost::chrono::steady_clock::now()", referenced from:
boost::cv_status boost::condition_variable::wait_for<long long, boost::ratio<1ll, 1000000000ll> >(boost::unique_lock<boost::mutex>&, boost::chrono::duration<long long, boost::ratio<1ll, 1000000000ll> > const&)in bitcoinrpc.o
Linking against the boost_chrono fixes the issue.
Windows builds already link against boost_chrono; Linux doesn't, but compiles (on pull-tester / gitian, at least).
why:
- the current splash-screen has no referring to official images on - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Promotional_graphics
- the current splash screen only exists in a low res jpg
- current splash screen looks dark and "hackish"
- new splash screen should generate positive, "trust-emotions".
- new splash screen gives the user infos about the running client.
- new splash screen can handle long messages (in a lot of - languages the text is cropped in current release)
- new size (x2) 400x312
- contains textual information about the client
- textinfos are dynamicly written to the pixmap
when -testnet is switch on, the splashscreen will show the bitcoin logo in testnet-color (as well as a text [testnet])
example: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7383846/new_bitcoin_splash.png
- instead of parsing the project file by using $$_PRO_FILE_ just use
$$TRANSLATIONS, which contains a list of all needed files, to build
our *.qm translation files
- remove an unneeded MODAL flag, as MSG_ERROR sets MODAL
- re-order an if-clause in main to have bool checks before a function call
- fix some log messages that used wrong function names
- make a log message use a correct ellipsis
- remove some unneded spaces, brackets and line-breaks
- fix style for adding files in the Qt project
Two changes: make some linux-specific linker options linux and linker specific.
And in the cross-compile environment, prefer the $HOME/qt/bin tools to
whatever might be somewhere else in the path.
Switch to using Qt's QLocalServer/QLocalSocket to handle bitcoin
payment links (bitcoin:... URIs)
Reason for switch: the boost::interprocess mechanism seemed flaky,
and doesn't mesh as well with "The Qt Way"
qtipcserver.cpp/h is replaced by paymentserver.cpp/h
Click-to-pay now also works on OSX, with a custom Info.plist
that registers Bitcoin-Qt as a handler for bitcoin: URLs and
an event listener on the main QApplication that handles
QFileOpenEvents (Qt translates 'url clicked' AppleEvents into
QFileOpenEvents automagically).
Version numbers changed from 0.7.99 to 0.8.0
Set CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE to remove pre-release warning
Updated copyright in COPYING and doc/READMEs to 2013
Updated doc/release-notes.txt
Several changes to make the native windows leveldb code compile
with mingw32 and run on 32-bit Windows:
* Remove -std=c++0x dependency (modified code to use NULL instead of
nullptr)
* Link with -lshlwapi
* Only #define snprintf/etc if compiling with Visual Studio
* Do not link against DbgHelp.lib (wrote a CreateDir instead of using
DbgHelp's MakeSureDirectoryPathExists
* Define WINVER=0x0500 so MinGW32 can use the 64-bit-filesystem Windows
api calls
* Define __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1 to use MinGW's printf (which supports
%ll)
I also cleaned up makefile.mingw, assuming that dependencies would be in
the standard /usr/local/{include,lib} by default but allowing overriding
with make DEPSDIR=... etc
- this flag allows bitcoin-qt.exe / bitcoind.exe (32-bit application) to
handle addresses larger than 2GB (up to 3GB on x86 Windows and up to
4GB on x64 Windows)
* During block verification (when parallelism is requested), script
check actions are stored instead of being executed immediately.
* After every processed transactions, its signature actions are
pushed to a CScriptCheckQueue, which maintains a queue and some
synchronization mechanism.
* Two or more threads (if enabled) start processing elements from
this queue,
* When the block connection code is finished processing transactions,
it joins the worker pool until the queue is empty.
As cs_main is held the entire time, and all verification must be
finished before the block continues processing, this does not reach
the best possible performance. It is a less drastic change than
some more advanced mechanisms (like doing verification out-of-band
entirely, and rolling back blocks when a failure is detected).
The -par=N flag controls the number of threads (1-16). 0 means auto,
and is the default.
