Add support for a Payment Protocol to Bitcoin-Qt.
Payment messages are protocol-buffer encoded and communicated over
http(s), so this adds a dependency on the Google protocol buffer
library, and requires Qt with OpenSSL support.
- new xpm resources for different linux window managers
- new png files for autoresizing on different linux window managers
- favicon with new logo
- window .ico with new logo
- updated debian package script
- updated changelog
Due a bug in QT (https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-21267), the mac binary of the last release contains bulk meta informations.
The url-handler (bitcoin://) is also not working in current release
Should be fixed with this commit.

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
This reverts commit 199d88cf90, reversing
changes made to 65bc1573e7.
License is worse instead of better. Will only accept public domain and
MIT-licensed icons from now on.
This is necessary as any strings have changed since last time.
Also the python script used to extract bitcoinstrings.cpp, extract_strings_qt.py
now sorts the strings before generating the output file. This results in more
deterministic output and thus smaller diffs.
- Move scripts/qt to share/qt, to clean up toplevel directories
- Update english ts file which is used to source messages for Transifex
- In extract_strings_qt.py use a glob *.h *.cpp, this is safe now that the Wx UI files are removed
All client version information is moved to version.cpp, which optionally
(-DHAVE_BUILD_INFO) includes build.h. build.h is automatically generated
on supporting platforms via contrib/genbuild.sh, using git describe.
The git export-subst attribute is used to put the commit id statically
in version.cpp inside generated archives, and this value is used if no
build.h is present.
The gitian descriptors are modified to use git archive instead of a
copy, to create the src/ directory in the output. This way,
src/src/version.cpp will contain the static commit id. To prevent
gitian builds from getting the "-dirty" marker in their git-describe
generated identifiers, no touching of files or running sed on the
makefile is performed anymore. This does not seem to influence
determinism.
Makefiles now build bitcoind only.
qmake/make in top-level directory is used to build Bitcoin QT
Deleted almost all #ifdef GUI from the code (left one possibly controversial one)
Deleted xpm/ files.
This adds a 32x32 16-bit icon to the bitcoin.ico file.
Though this realistically probably looks worse than the 32-bit
32x32 being displayed on a 16-bit monitor, it makes the nsis
setup exe deterministic in gitian output (go figure) which makes
the slight visual loss for users of very old monitors/computers
worth it.
The .ico file has changed in the following ways:
* Added 64x64 layer (max size for "Classic Mode").
* Added 256x256 layer (max size for Vista and 7).
* Removed copies with no alpha channel:
* Display depths lower than 32-bits are rare nowadays.
* 8-bit alpha channels in icons has been supported since XP.
* If the display depth is lowered, they look no better than the
downsampled versions that Windows automatically generates.
Tested various sizes on both XP and Win 7. It looks fine
(unchanged) on XP and downright sexy on Win 7.
