0) Adjust BIP16 & BIP30 enforcement values
1) Reduce amount that peers can adjust our time to eliminate an attack vector. Thanks to
coblee for this fix.
2) Zeitgeist2 patch - thanks to Lolcust and ArtForz. This fixes an issue where a
51% attack can change difficulty at will. Go back the full period unless it's the
first retarget after genesis.
3) Avoid overflow in CalculateNextWorkRequired(). Thanks to pooler for the overflow fix.
4) SegWit ContextualCheckBlockHeader adjustment and extra coverage
5) Reject peer proto version below 70002. Thanks to wtogami for this patch.
6) Adjust default settings for Litecoin
Add error and range-checking parsers for unsigned 32 and 64 bit numbers.
The 32-bit variant is required for parsing sequence numbers from the
command line in `bitcoin-tx` (see #8164 for discussion). I've thrown in
the 64-bit variant as a bonus, as I'm sure it will be needed at some
point.
Also adds tests, and updates `developer-notes.md`.
I've collected these over time, mostly adding notes after
troubleshooting obscure bugs. As I hope to get the community more
involved in the whole process, I think it is useful to add to the
developer-notes.
