Use non-blocking connects, and a select() call to wait a predefined
time (5s by default, but configurable with -timeout) for either
success or failure. This allows much more connections to be tried
per time unit.
Based on a patch by phantomcircuit.
When rescanning, if the scanned transaction is already in the wallet, it
is skipped. However, if someone sends a transaction, does not wait for
confirmation, switches wallets, waits for a block that contains his original
transaction, and switches wallets again, a rescan will leave his wallet
transaction (which has no merkle branch, so no confirmations) untouched.
* A new option -dns is introduced that enables name lookups in
-connect and -addnode, which is not enabled by default,
as it may be considered a security issue.
* A Lookup function is added that supports retrieving one or
more addresses based on a host name
* CAddress constructors (optionally) support name lookups.
* The different places in the source code that did name lookups
are refactored to use NameLookup or CAddress instead (dns seeding,
irc server lookup, getexternalip, ...).
* Removed ToStringLog() from CAddress, and switched to ToString(),
since it was empty.
there is no internal modification of any file in this commit
files are moved into directories according to established standards in
sourcecode distribution; these directories contain:
src - Files that are used in constructing the executable binaries,
but are not installed.
doc - Files in HTML and text format that document usage, quirks of
the implementation, and contributor checklists.
locale - Files that contain human language translation of strings
used in the program
contrib - Files contributed from distributions or other third party
implementing scripts and auxiliary programs
Information about the best known chain is added to wallet.dat. If this
information does not match the data in blkindex.dat, a rescan is automatically
performed, starting from the the last known block. When upgrading from a wallet
which does not have this information, no rescan is done automatically.

If you copied your wallet and used it on two different machines, the balance reported by getbalance and the sum(listaccounts) could disagree, because you might receive payments for an address that is in your wallet but not your address book. Now all such transactions are credited to the default empty-string account.
