To make release tags the `make-tag.py` script from the maintainer tools
should be used. This ensures that all the various occurences of the
version in different files match the tagged version before proceeding.
Also replace other "ping wumpus" references.
Removes the leading 0 from the version number. The minor version, which
we had been using as the major version, is now the major version. The
revision, which we had been using as the minor version, is now the minor
version. The revision number is dropped. The build number is promoted to
being part of the version number. This also avoids issues where it was
accidentally not included in the version number.
The CLIENT_VERSION remains the same format as previous as previously,
the Major version was 0 so that was never a factor in CLIENT_VERSION.
also:
- use the getblockheader (and getblockhash) RPCs instead of getblockchaininfo
for updating the nMinimumChainWork and defaultAssumeValid consensus params
- use "RPC" consistently
- update the example PR from 17002 to 20263
- improve a link with a named anchor tag

The original osslsigncode project (https://sourceforge.net/projects/osslsigncode/) has been marked as abandonware,
"This is now - and has been for a long while - abandonware. Feel free to create your own forks etc.".
However, a fork at https://github.com/mtrojnar/osslsigncode has emerged that has incorporated
theuni's patches, updated the tool to work with OpenSSL 1.1 and made other improvements.
This commit switches the windows signer descriptor to use this new version of osslsigncode.
eb4c43e49f doc: documents how to calculate m_assumed_blockchain_size and m_assumed_chain_state_size on the release process. (marcoagner)
Pull request description:
Regarding [this](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15183#issuecomment-463133734) on https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15183.
Added an "Additional information" section for this which seems reasonable to me but may not be the best place for this. Also, let me know if anything else should be documented here (like more details).

- Create a release notes draft wiki for collaborative editing at https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki as seen for releases 0.17.0 and 0.18.0.
- As per http://www.erisian.com.au/bitcoin-core-dev/log-2019-03-28.html#l-342, for the period during which the notes are being edited on the wiki, the version on the branch should be wiped and replaced with a link to the wiki which should be used for all announcements until final.
- Before final, remove the "Needs release note" label from relevant PRs/issues and merge the release notes from the wiki into the branch.
- Create a pinned meta-issue dedicated to testing the release candidate and communicate it in release announcements where useful. The former is done in practice (e.g. #15555, #14902) and the latter addresses the discussion here: https://x0f.org/web/statuses/101753569204220416.
- Adapt and merge the updates in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15692.
- Update the version numbers in all the examples.
- Reorganise the headers in the Branch Updates section.
03b8596dd6 Add checksum in gitian build scripts for ossl (TheCharlatan)
Pull request description:
This adds a checksum in the gitian build script to make sure that ossl tool and theuni's patch matches what is expected. Also changes the url to use https.

9d0e52834 implements different disk sizes for different networks on intro (marcoagner)
Pull request description:
Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/13213.
Mostly, I layed out the concept to open the PR for refinement and getting feedback if the approach is okay. Changes are expected.
Two points:
- The values for both new consts `TESTNET_BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE` and `TESTNET_CHAIN_STATE_SIZE` is certainly not optimal; I just checked the size of my testnet3 related dirs and set them to little bit higher values. Which values should be used?
- Should we do something like this to regtest? Or these "niceties" do not matter when on regtest?
Thanks!

This adds a checksum in the gitian build script to make sure that
ossl tool and theuni's patch matches what is expected. Also changes
the url to use https and adds the same instructions to the release docs.
- Creates m_assumed_blockchain_size and m_assumed_chain_state_size on CChainParams.
- Implements access to CChainParams' m_assumed_blockchain_size and m_assumed_chain_state_size on node interface.
- Implements m_assumed_blockchain_size and m_assumed_chain_state_size on qt/intro via node interface.
- Updates release process document with the new CChainParam's values.
- Remove dependency on sed (sed was overkill when you can just add plain
text to the git log --format command)
- Sort resulting list of authors alphabetically (case-insensitive)
- Provide an example of how to only generate authors between versions
Gitian fails to perform downloads right now on my set up. This can be circumvented by first checking out the tag being built and then doing the depends download step before running `gbuild`.
fabb72b contrib: Remove xpired 522739F6 key (MarcoFalke)
faeab66 contrib: Replace developer keys with list of pgp fingerprints (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Having to host a copy of the keys in this repo was a common source of discussion and distraction, caused by problems such as:
* Outdated keys. Unclear whether and when to replace by fresh copies.
* Unclear when to add a key of a new developer or Gitian builder.
The problems are solved by
* Having no keys but only the fingerprints
* Adding a rule of thumb, when to add a new key
<strike>Moving the keys to a different repo solves none of these issues, but since the keys are not bound to releases or git branches of Bitcoin Core, they should live somewhere else.
Obviously, all keys are hosted and distributed on key servers, but were added to the repo solely for convenience and redundancy.
Moving the mirror of those keys to a different repo makes it less distracting to update them -- let's say -- prior to every major release.
I updated our `doc/release-process.md` to reflect the new location.
