- add new options for database cache and script verification threads - add label which displays options that are overridden by command-line parameters - proxy settings are not applied on-the-fly anymore and require a client restart (ApplyProxySettings() was removed and was not working very well anyway) - re-work options reset and require a client shutdown (as it is much easier to do it this way without having to mess with what can be changed on-the-fly and what needs a restart anyway) - options reset now writes default values for every single option - when changing an option which requires a client restart display a 10 second warning message in statusLabel (via a QTimer) - when applying the changes via ok change that to a persistent message, which is displayed even after closing optionsdialog and re-open it, when no client restart was made - remove dialog boxes used when changing language or proxy settings - add setRestartRequired() and isRestartRequired() to OptionsModel and use the set function when updating options to signal OptionsDialog when a restart is needed - resize optionsdialog a little and add some min sizes for certain GUI elements - remove apply button from optionsdialog - save and restore optionsdialog window position - update nTransactionFee in QSettings with a set -paytxfee value when opening optionsdialog (I'm not sure about this yet, perhaps revert to not updating QSettings and just display current -paytxfee value in optionsdialog.) |

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
Copyright (c) 2009-2013 Bitcoin Core Developers
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental new digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see http://www.bitcoin.org/en/download.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development process
Developers work in their own trees, then submit pull requests when they think their feature or bug fix is ready.
If it is a simple/trivial/non-controversial change, then one of the Bitcoin development team members simply pulls it.
If it is a more complicated or potentially controversial change, then the patch submitter will be asked to start a discussion (if they haven't already) on the mailing list.
The patch will be accepted if there is broad consensus that it is a good thing. Developers should expect to rework and resubmit patches if the code doesn't match the project's coding conventions (see doc/coding.md) or are controversial.
The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test. Please be patient and help out, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check
Every pull request is built for both Windows and Linux on a dedicated server, and unit and sanity tests are automatically run. The binaries produced may be used for manual QA testing — a link to them will appear in a comment on the pull request posted by BitcoinPullTester. See https://github.com/TheBlueMatt/test-scripts for the build/test scripts.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Large changes should have a test plan, and should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. See https://github.com/bitcoin/QA/ for how to create a test plan.
