the limit applies to: DHT replies, refreshes of stored items, checking for status/tracker and proxy server.
local requests (eg. dhtgets from the UI) are excluded from this limit, so user experience is not affected.
in other words: we limit only the band contributed back to twister network for maintenance tasks.
this should improve resilience against some sorts of denial-of-service attacks and also
prevents saturating the uplink as observed recently.
this should reduce the traffic for now but me may want to tweak these settings later.
the most recent posts are priorized regardless of how much the user posts.
verifies if tx is part of current main chain. old test may cause problems for people
trying to reregister their usernames in case of reversal attack since nodes might incorrectly
refuse to accept/retransmit the new transaction.
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
Implements #1948
- Add macro `CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` to clientversion.h
- When running a prerelease (the above macro is `false`):
- In UI, show an orange warning bar at the top. This will be used for other
warnings (and alerts) as well, instead of the status bar.
- For `bitcoind`, show the warning in the "errors" field in `getinfo`
response.
- 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
- for RC-file documentation see:
