-Syncing now happens in stages. Masternodes and Sporks, then Masternode winners, then proposals. Some of these require the masternode signatures, otherwise there are race conditions within the syncing process itself.
-Resigning - When a proposal is sent to the network initially it's signed by a masternode, if that masternode goes inactive the proposal becomes invalid. Resigning allows other masternodes to update proposal keep it valid with the coming and going of masternodes.
-Resigning compatibility - non masternodes will scan and flag proposals as invalid to accept updated owners.
-Invalid votes are now actively removed from the proposals when they go inactive
- Remove budgets with negative votes of more than 10% of network
- Only allow proposals into budget that have more than 10% of network support
- Faster removal of inactive masternodes
- Implemented spork for only paying new nodes after a period of time on mainnet
- protocol bump
- fixed a few issues with sporks. Spork show now shows all sporks, instead of the changed ones. IsSporkActive now supports sporks set to 0 as on.
- Added new CMasterBroadcast/CmasternodePing objects, with all of the code required to check each new message. SHould be much easier to tell what's going on now.
- bump PROTOCOL_VERSION (new collaterals are incompatible with 70066)
- define MIN_POOL_PEER_PROTO_VERSION instead of confusing darkSendPool.MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION / bump it too
Exact amounts are now allocated directly to denominated
funds then submitted to the pool. This improves anonymity
by never having non-denomination inputs enter or exit the pool.
Randomness has also been added to the amount of each session to
improve anonymity.
Many changes:
* Do not use 'getblocks', but 'getheaders', and use it to build a headers tree.
* Blocks are fetched in parallel from all available outbound peers, using a
limited moving window. When one peer stalls the movement of the window, it is
disconnected.
* No more orphan blocks. At all. We only ever request a block for which we have
verified the headers, and store it to disk immediately. This means that a
disk-fill attack would require PoW.
* Require protocol version 31800 for every peer (released in december 2010).
* No more syncnode (we sync from everyone we can, though limited to 1 during
initial *headers* sync).
* Introduce some extra named constants, comments and asserts.
- ensures a consistent usage in header files
- also add a blank line after the copyright header where missing
- also remove orphan new-lines at the end of some files
Use misc methods of avoiding unnecesary header includes.
Replace int typedefs with int##_t from stdint.h.
Replace PRI64[xdu] with PRI[xdu]64 from inttypes.h.
Normalize QT_VERSION ifs where possible.
Resolve some indirect dependencies as direct ones.
Remove extern declarations from .cpp files.
INIT_PROTO_VERSION is the initial version, after a succesful version/verack it is increased to a negotiated version.
MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION could be a different value to disconnect from peers older than a specified version.
- 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:

* move PROTOCOL_VERSION to version.h
* move CLIENT_VERSION* to version.h, make available past cpp stage
* clearly separate client, network version portions of version.h
Add a pong message that is sent in reply to a ping. It echoes back a nonce
field that is now added to the ping message. Send a nonce of zero in ping
messages.
Original author: Mike Hearn @ Google
Modified Mike's change to introduce a mild form of protocol documentation in
version.h.
All client version information is moved to version.cpp, which optionally
(-DHAVE_BUILD_INFO) includes build.h. build.h is automatically generated
on supporting platforms via contrib/genbuild.sh, using git describe.
The git export-subst attribute is used to put the commit id statically
in version.cpp inside generated archives, and this value is used if no
build.h is present.
The gitian descriptors are modified to use git archive instead of a
copy, to create the src/ directory in the output. This way,
src/src/version.cpp will contain the static commit id. To prevent
gitian builds from getting the "-dirty" marker in their git-describe
generated identifiers, no touching of files or running sed on the
makefile is performed anymore. This does not seem to influence
determinism.
