I recently added a signing subkey, which is used to sign gitian
asserts as well as commits.
Old:
```
pub rsa2048/0x74810B012346C9A6 2011-08-24
uid Wladimir J. van der Laan <laanwj@gmail.com>
sub rsa2048/0xF69705ED890DE427 2011-08-24
```
New:
```
pub rsa2048/0x74810B012346C9A6 2011-08-24 [expires: 2019-02-14]
uid Wladimir J. van der Laan <laanwj@visucore.com>
uid Wladimir J. van der Laan <laanwj@gmail.com>
sub rsa2048/0xF69705ED890DE427 2011-08-24
sub rsa2048/0x1E4AED62986CD25D 2017-05-17 [expires: 2019-05-17]
sub rsa2048/0x69B4C4CDC628F8F9 2017-05-17 [expires: 2019-05-17]
```
A few "a->an" and "an->a".
"Shows, if the supplied default SOCKS5 proxy" -> "Shows if the supplied default SOCKS5 proxy". Change made on 3 occurrences.
"without fully understanding the ramification of a command" -> "without fully understanding the ramifications of a command".
Removed duplicate words such as "the the".
Remove leveldb baseline coverage gathering.
Added filter rules to remove all of the subtress (leveldb, secp256k1, ctaes, univalue) and
benchmarking from the coverage report. These items are unnecessary as we do not test for any
of the subtrees and benchmark coverage is unneeded.
Instead of using lcov -r (which is extremely slow), first use a python script to perform bulk cleanup of the /usr/include/* coverage. Then use lcov -a to remove the duplicate entries. This has the same effect of lcov -r but runs significantly faster
Downloading all the binaries of all platforms can take quite long,
especially for slow connections, which may deter people from using
this script and, therefore, to disregard security altogether.
This change introduces the new possibility of specifying the
platform along with the version number, so that only the binaries
that contain the platform name are downloaded.
Add comment how further options can be added or existing ones
modified. Use /run/${RuntimeDirectory} for PID file.
Remove TimeoutStopSec, TimeoutStartSec, StartLimitInterval,
StartLimitBurst directives as those should be set indivdually.
Remove Group to user the bitcoin user's default group.
Changed Restart from 'always' to 'on-failure' (can also be overwritten
individually).
This:
* Partially reverts 9f68ed6 (which fixed spelling in a changelog,
though generally changelogs should be append-only).
* Disables UPnP support (PPA has not had it for a while, and I
still don't trust miniupnpc, plus it seems uneccessary - its
been a while since we needed to care about Bitcoin-Qt home users
getting their inbound ports auto-mapped).
* Enables ZMQ.
* Forces GUI to Qt4 to fix various issues people have been seeing
on Ubuntu and elsewhere with Qt5.
* Reverts 70899d70b (Bitcoin does not enable "instant payments",
not is transaction management "carried out collectively by the
network", for whatever "transaction management" means, finally
Bitcoin Core is not the only way to use the Bitcoin currency,
as seemingly implied in the description).
Some minor github-merge improvements I've made over time:
User interface:
- Print merge details again before signing off, to refresh your memory -
usually I'll have done lots of different things in the shell so this
will have scrolled out a long time ago.
- Require a valid answer on the prompts. One of the requested answers
must be typed, if not, the prompt will re-ask. This prevents
accidentally rejecting.
Efficiency:
- Condense "accept merge" and "sign off" prompts. There's no reason to
have this as two separate prompts, both are just opportunities to skip
out on the merge, no action is performed in between.
Merging:
- Strip spaces from github title. This avoids redundant spaces
surrounding it from getting into the commit message.
This option is becoming more popular recently, and I propose an example to be shown in the bitcoin.conf.

Adds a datadir configuration option to the linearize scripts to allow the script to use the RPC cookie instead of requiring the user to set a rpcuser and rpcpassword for the rpc server.
This changes tree_sha512sum() to requests the objects for hashing from
git instead of from the working tree.
The change should make the process more deterministic (it hashes what
will be pushed) and hopefully avoids the frequent miscomputed SHA512's
that happen now.
