Extremely large transactions with lots of inputs can cost the network
almost as much to process as they cost the sender in fees.
We would never create transactions larger than 100K big; this change
makes transactions larger than 100K non-standard, so they are not
relayed/mined by default. This is most important for miners that might
create blocks larger than 250K big, who could be vulnerable to a
make-your-blocks-so-expensive-to-verify-they-get-orphaned attack.
Two changes:
Use IsConfirmed() instead of IsFinal(), so 'getbalance "*" 0' uses the same
'is this output spendable' criteria as 'getbalance'. Fixes issue #172.
And a tiny refactor to CWallet::GetBalance() (redundant call to IsFinal -- IsConfirmed
calls IsFinal).
getbalance with no arguments and 'getbalance "*" 0' could return different different results,
- this change allows us to keep the translation without the need to
re-translate any string, when we update the copyright year
- copyright symbol is changed to HTML to ensure we get no encoding
issues and it's removed from the translation string so translators don't
break it by mistake
The current default URL doesn't seem to exist.
Unsure wether this should be updated to point to 0.7.2 now or wether
just to wait untill 0.8.0 is out and point there?
Commit also fixes a minor typo in the macdeploy notes.txt
* updated references to files which have since been moved
* added reference to licensing
* added brief summary in case a non-technical user happens upon repo first
* miscellaneous Markdown-isms to make the doc more attractive
* remove unused symlink README -> README.md
I double-checked the makefiles and whatnot to ensure that the README symlink is
not being referenced. It is not. Rather, `doc/README` and
`doc/README_windows.txt` are copied for distribution.
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
