-detachdb option. Useful for upgrading, for example. Lets you use fast stops usually, but force a detach when needed. Also, allows
you to do a fast stop in a system normally configured for fast stops.
Matt pointed out some time ago that there existed a minor DOS
attack where a node in its initial block download could be wedged
by an overwrite attack in a fork created between checkpoints before
a time where BIP30 was enforced. Now that the BIP30 timestamp
is irreversibly past the check can be more aggressive and apply to
all blocks except the two historic violations.
We're in a wholly different world now, C++-compiler-wise.
Current std::stringstream implementations don't have the stated problem anymore,
and are just as fast as CDataStream.
The #ifdef'd block does not even compile anymore; CDataStream constructor changed,
and missing some std::. Also timing in whole seconds is also way too granular
to say anything sensible in such microbenchmarks. Just remove it,
it can always be found again in git history.
Bugfix: Correct doubled-up & in translations
Bugfix: Remove extra spaces after ampersand in translations (this fixes hotkeys)

- add version information to bitcoin-qt.rc, which is displayed on Windows, when looking in the executable properties and selecting "Details"
- introduce a new clientversion.h (used in bitcoin-qt.rc to generate
version information), which takes only the version defines from
version.h and is included in it (to allow usage with the windres rc-file
compiler)
- move #define STRINGIFY(s) #s into clientversion.h as that is used in
bitcoin-qt.rc and rename to DO_STRINGIZE(X)
- add #define STRINGIZE(X) DO_STRINGIZE(X), which is needed to convert the
version defines into a version string in the rc-file
- this ensures we only need to update 1 file and have bitcoin-qt.exe
version information
- for RC-file documentation see:
