* reformatted the entire document to look pretty in both standard text and
Markdown
* incorporated [my OS X 10.8 build instructions with Homebrew as the package
manager](http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/3672/trouble-compiling-bitcoind-on-osx-with-homebrew/5253#5253)
* incorporated @gavinandresen's MacPorts and release build instructions based on
an earlier revision of this commit
* added makefile patch necessary for Homebrew compilation to `contrib`
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.
The current default URL doesn't seem to exist.
Unsure wether this should be updated to point to 0.7.2 now or wether
just to wait untill 0.8.0 is out and point there?
Commit also fixes a minor typo in the macdeploy notes.txt
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
Use 'osascript' to run AppleScript, instead of using (broken-in-10.8)
python appscript package.
And added support for code-signing the .app bundle, to make OSX's
GateKeeper happy.
* Updates package description to note that blockchain now takes
2+ GB instead of 150+ MB.
* Stop creating DB_CONFIG with DB_LOG_AUTO_REMOVE as that is set
in Bitcoin itself now.
* Update changelog with 0.6.2 and the current updates.
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.
It could just as well be on either part of the gitian build, but to safely put it on the Qt side would require bumping the filename, and every gitian user rebuilding it.
v0.5.3.1 put it on the Bitcoin side, and this is easier to work with and keep safe, so I'm moving it.
Use `qmake MINGW_THREAD_BUGFIX=0` to disable
