The main thread spends time waiting for the DetectShutdownThread.
So why not just run this waiting loop function in the main thread?
One thread-stack less saves 4MB of virtual memory on 32-bit, and 8MB on
64-bit.
The default font changed again.
The real fix is to compile qt against a >= 10.8 sdk, but this is simple enough
to backport to 0.10 to avoid having to do that there.
Note: NSAppKitVersionNumber is a double and there's no official value for
NSAppKitVersionNumber10_10. Since == isn't reliable for doubles, use Apple's
guidelines for testing versions here:

Chinese and Japanese fonts have been hard-coded as well, otherwise they fail to
show up at all.
This avoids a regression for issues like #334 where high speed
repeated connections eventually run the HTTP client out of
sockets because all of theirs end up in time_wait.
Maybe the trade-off here is suboptimal, but if both choices will
fail then we prefer fewer changes until the root cause is solved.
- now logs if -rootcertificates="" was used to disable payment request
authentication via X.509 certificates
- also logs which file is used as trusted root cert, if -rootcertificates
is set

56c1093 fix tests for #5655 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
16a5c18 Add a -rpckeepalive and disable RPC use of HTTP persistent connections. (Gregory Maxwell)
- this is based on #4122 (which can be closed)
Currently a payment request is only checked for expiration upon receipt.
It should be checked again immediately before sending coins to prevent
the user from paying to an expired invoice which would then require a
customer service interaction.
- add static verifyExpired() function to PaymentServer to be able to use
the same validation code in GUI and unit-testing code
- extend unit tests to use that function and also add an unit test which
overflows, because payment requests allow expires as uint64, whereas we
use int64_t for verification of expired payment requests
It turns out that some miners have been staying with old versions of
Bitcoin Core because their software behaves poorly with persistent
connections and the Bitcoin Core thread and connection limits.
What happens is that underlying HTTP libraries leave connections open
invisibly to their users and then the user runs into the default four
thread limit. This looks like Bitcoin Core is unresponsive to RPC.
There are many things that should be improved in Bitcoin Core's behavior
here, e.g. supporting more concurrent connections, not tying up threads
for idle connections, disconnecting kept-alive connections when limits
are reached, etc. All are fairly big, risky changes.
Disabling keep-alive is a simple workaround. It's often not easy to turn
off the keep-alive support in the client where it may be buried in some
platform library.
If you are one of the few who really needs persistent connections you
probably know that you want them and can find a switch; while if you
don't and the misbehavior is hitting you it is hard to discover the
source of your problems is keepalive related. Given that it is best
to default to off until they're handled better.
- Check that image contents match pre- and post- crushing.
- Also remove use of external tool to compute sha256 in favor of hashlib.
- contrib: remove all use of shell=True in strip_pngs.py
Using `shell=True` can be a security hazard. See e.g.

17005bc [Qt] add payment request unit test for non matching networks (Philip Kaufmann)
080da96 [Qt] prepare paymentservertests for new unit tests (Philip Kaufmann)
- verify that payment request network matches client network
- add static verifyNetwork() function to PaymentServer to be able to use
the same validation code in GUI and unit-testing code
