This introduces the concept of the 'sync node', which is the one we
asked for missing blocks. In case the sync node goes away, a new one
will be selected.
For now, the heuristic is very simple, but it can easily be extended
later to add better policies.
- added languages in bitcoin.qrc: bs, ca, cy, eo, gu_IN, hi_IN, ja, la,
lv_LV and th_TH (some translations files were already in src/qt/locale
but not added in the .qrc file
- new windows .ico contains multiple resolutions up to 256px
- new testnet (green) icon
- new png icon for llinux, etc.
- new doxygen icon
- changed the assets-attribution.txt

- this allows us to use the progressbar and the label independently (if
needed) and still prevents setStatusTip() to use them, if one of the 2
is active
- expand the description for updating the translations
- sort the paths/files, which need to have the version number updated, in
alphabetical order
- use a more current version number in git tag and git shortlog
- instead of parsing the project file by using $$_PRO_FILE_ just use
$$TRANSLATIONS, which contains a list of all needed files, to build
our *.qm translation files
It seems there were two mechanisms for assessing whether a CNode
was still in use: a refcount and a release timestamp. The latter
seems to have been there for a long time, as a safety mechanism.
However, this timer also keeps CNode objects alive for far longer
than necessary after disconnects, potentially opening up a DoS
window.
This commit removes the timestamp-based mechanism, and replaces
it with an assert(nRefCount >= 0), to verify that the refcounting
is indeed correctly working.
As these were not updated when 'backporting' the 225430 checkpoint
into head.
Additionally, also report verification progress in debug.log, and
tweak the sigcheck-verification-speed-factor a bit.
- use labelExplanation for sending and receiving tab and move the string
from the ui-file to the source
- ensure that the table holding the label and address is resized so that
the address column fits the address and the label column is stretched to
fit the window size
- rename some stuff for much easier readbility in the code (I find it hard
to get the meaning of stuff like labels or buttons)
Two reasons for this change:
1. Need to always use boost::thread's sleep, even on Windows, so the
sleeps can be interrupted (prior code used Windows' built-in Sleep).
2. I always forgot what units the old Sleep took.
Create a boost::thread_group object at the qt/bitcoind main-loop level
that will hold pointers to all the main-loop threads.
This will replace the vnThreadsRunning[] array.
For testing, ported the BitcoinMiner threads to use its
own boost::thread_group.
