why:
- the current splash-screen has no referring to official images on - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Promotional_graphics
- the current splash screen only exists in a low res jpg
- current splash screen looks dark and "hackish"
- new splash screen should generate positive, "trust-emotions".
- new splash screen gives the user infos about the running client.
- new splash screen can handle long messages (in a lot of - languages the text is cropped in current release)
- new size (x2) 400x312
- contains textual information about the client
- textinfos are dynamicly written to the pixmap
when -testnet is switch on, the splashscreen will show the bitcoin logo in testnet-color (as well as a text [testnet])
example: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7383846/new_bitcoin_splash.png
Due a bug in QT (https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-21267), the mac binary of the last release contains bulk meta informations.
The url-handler (bitcoin://) is also not working in current release
Should be fixed with this commit.

* reformatted the entire document to look pretty in both standard text and
Markdown
* incorporated [my OS X 10.8 build instructions with Homebrew as the package
manager](http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/3672/trouble-compiling-bitcoind-on-osx-with-homebrew/5253#5253)
* incorporated @gavinandresen's MacPorts and release build instructions based on
an earlier revision of this commit
* added makefile patch necessary for Homebrew compilation to `contrib`
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
Use 'osascript' to run AppleScript, instead of using (broken-in-10.8)
python appscript package.
And added support for code-signing the .app bundle, to make OSX's
GateKeeper happy.
Implements #1948
- Add macro `CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` to clientversion.h
- When running a prerelease (the above macro is `false`):
- In UI, show an orange warning bar at the top. This will be used for other
warnings (and alerts) as well, instead of the status bar.
- For `bitcoind`, show the warning in the "errors" field in `getinfo`
response.
This reverts commit 199d88cf90, reversing
changes made to 65bc1573e7.
License is worse instead of better. Will only accept public domain and
MIT-licensed icons from now on.
- 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:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa381058%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
This will make bitcoin relay valid routable IPv6 addresses, and when
USE_IPV6 is enabled, listen on IPv6 interfaces and attempt connections
to IPv6 addresses.
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.
- icon from the LGPL Nuvola set (like the tick) - http://www.icon-king.com/projects/nuvola/
- include 'boost/version.hpp' in db.cpp so that the overwrite version of copy can be used
- catch exceptions in BackupWallet (e.g. filesystem_error thrown when trying to overwrite without the overwrite flag set)
- include db.h in walletmodel.cpp for BackupWallet function
- updated doc/assets-attribution.txt and contrib/debian/copyright with copyright info for new icon
* My patch for miniupnpc has made it into the latest MacPorts release: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31354
* Documentation has been changed appropriately
* New pure-Python macdeployqt; leverages all problems with the stock macdeployqt
More Qt GUI updates
- Make USE_SSL qmake build flag actually work
- Improve mac experience, general UI improvements
- Add keyboard shortcut to switch between tabs
Also changed semantics of CWalletTx::GetTxTime(); now always returns the time the transaction was received by this node, not the average block time.
And added information about -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER to coding.txt.
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
