This patch currently excludes our Windows executable!
- change to use -fstack-protector-all
- the minimum size of buffers (i.e. arrays) that will receive stack
smashing protection was changed to 1 byte (GCC default: 8)
- warn about functions that will not be protected against stack
smashing by adding -Wstack-protector
- I checked every occurance of strprintf() in the code and used %u, where
unsigned vars are used
- the change to GetByte() was made, as ip is an unsigned char
Matt pointed out some time ago that there existed a minor DOS
attack where a node in its initial block download could be wedged
by an overwrite attack in a fork created between checkpoints before
a time where BIP30 was enforced. Now that the BIP30 timestamp
is irreversibly past the check can be more aggressive and apply to
all blocks except the two historic violations.
- Paging using PageUp / PageDown now works when entry widget has focus
- Typing or pasting while the messages widget has focus auto-selects entry widget
We're in a wholly different world now, C++-compiler-wise.
Current std::stringstream implementations don't have the stated problem anymore,
and are just as fast as CDataStream.
The #ifdef'd block does not even compile anymore; CDataStream constructor changed,
and missing some std::. Also timing in whole seconds is also way too granular
to say anything sensible in such microbenchmarks. Just remove it,
it can always be found again in git history.
Bugfix: Correct doubled-up & in translations
Bugfix: Remove extra spaces after ampersand in translations (this fixes hotkeys)

- add version information to bitcoin-qt.rc, which is displayed on Windows, when looking in the executable properties and selecting "Details"
- introduce a new clientversion.h (used in bitcoin-qt.rc to generate
version information), which takes only the version defines from
version.h and is included in it (to allow usage with the windres rc-file
compiler)
- move #define STRINGIFY(s) #s into clientversion.h as that is used in
bitcoin-qt.rc and rename to DO_STRINGIZE(X)
- add #define STRINGIZE(X) DO_STRINGIZE(X), which is needed to convert the
version defines into a version string in the rc-file
- this ensures we only need to update 1 file and have bitcoin-qt.exe
version information
