This leads to the bitcoin core being shut down while the UI is accessing it, and generally results in a segmentation fault or crash. In case it is desirable to make it possible to shutdown the GUI from its RPC server, we'll need to implement a signal for it. For the mean time, this is a safe stopgap.
This RPC is exactly identical to getblockcount. This duplication
dates back to commit 22f721dbf2 when
Satoshi created the RPC interface.
There's no need to have both, so we standardize on "count" which
matches the naming convention in getconnectioncount.
Following the tradition established with previously deprecated APIs,
getblocknumber continues to work, but it's not listed in the help
system.
- use wildcard for TRANSLATIONS in bitcoin-qt.pro to automatically build all translations present in src/qt/locale (thanks @tcatm)
- first load translations/<language>.qm, then translations/<language>_<TERRITORY>.qm, so that territory-specific translations take precedence, but the fallback is on the base language if no territory-specific translation exists.
- use wildcard for TRANSLATIONS in bitcoin-qt.pro to automatically build all translations present in src/qt/locale (thanks @tcatm)
- rename language files to the usual <lang>_<TERRITORY>
- include recently added language files for es_ES and nb_NO
Rename App Bundle "Bitcoin-Qt.app" instead of "Bitcoin Qt" for
consistency with Windows/Linux.
Update create_osx_dmg.sh script to use macdeployqt tool.
Add ifdef STATIC to makefile.osx to build bitcoind static or dynamic.
Now it can't be told if this is was a Windows App before. All Mac design principles are fulfilled and some cosmetics have been applied to suit the native look and feel. The biggest change there is the proper use of the Dock icon which takes the role of the Tray icon on Mac.
The QDoubleSpinBox improves entering of Bitcoin amounts, no two separate fields are required anymore. All functionality and validation effects have been retained; pressing the comma key will be internally translated to a period to keep it consistent throughout the application and eases entering in countries which use the comma as decimal separator.
Additionally, Notificator now supports Growl, Mac's native notification system. This is provided via Apple Script in order to avoid linking to Growl on compile time. Other changes involve encapsulation of Toolbar and Menubar creation, loading of Qt's own translation and some clean up.
Replaced all occurrences of #if* __WXMSW__ with WIN32,
and all occurrences of __WXMAC_OSX__ with MAC_OSX, and made
sure those are defined appropriately in the makefile and bitcoin-qt.pro.
