This:
* Partially reverts 9f68ed6 (which fixed spelling in a changelog,
though generally changelogs should be append-only).
* Disables UPnP support (PPA has not had it for a while, and I
still don't trust miniupnpc, plus it seems uneccessary - its
been a while since we needed to care about Bitcoin-Qt home users
getting their inbound ports auto-mapped).
* Enables ZMQ.
* Forces GUI to Qt4 to fix various issues people have been seeing
on Ubuntu and elsewhere with Qt5.
* Reverts 70899d70b (Bitcoin does not enable "instant payments",
not is transaction management "carried out collectively by the
network", for whatever "transaction management" means, finally
Bitcoin Core is not the only way to use the Bitcoin currency,
as seemingly implied in the description).

7179e7c qt: Periodic translations update (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
5e903a5 devtools: Handle Qt formatting characters edge-case in update-translations.py (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
If both numeric format specifiers and "others" are used, assume we're
dealing with a Qt-formatted message. In the case of Qt formatting (see
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstring.html#arg) only numeric formats are
replaced at all. This means "(percentage: %1%)" is valid (which was
introduced in #9461), without needing any kind of escaping that would be
necessary for strprintf. Without this, this function would wrongly
detect '%)' as a printf format specifier.
ba94426 Test that pushes to bitcoin/bitcoin are signed per verify-commits (Matt Corallo)
3e900ac Require merge commits merge branches on top of other merge commits (Matt Corallo)
Specifically, require that the left branch (first restult of git
show -s --format=format:%P) is a signed merge commit, instead of
allowing either. This is fine for now, but might need to be relaxed
in the future.
Also fixes an out-of-file-descriptors issue by holding too many
open FDs writing to /dev/null
- The last-timestamp-encountered variable wasn’t being used properly. Rewrite code to properly allow for new blockchain files to be written when split by month.
- Properly set a blockchain file’s access and modify times.
- Add a “debug output” option to quiet certain output that might not always be desirable.
- Update the README.
Three categories of modifications:
1)
1 instance of 'The Bitcoin Core developers \n',
1 instance of 'the Bitcoin Core developers\n',
3 instances of 'Bitcoin Core Developers\n', and
12 instances of 'The Bitcoin developers\n'
are made uniform with the 443 instances of 'The Bitcoin Core developers\n'
2)
3 instances of 'BitPay, Inc\.\n' are made uniform with the other 6
instances of 'BitPay Inc\.\n'
3)
4 instances where there was no '(c)' between the 'Copyright' and the year
where it deviates from the style of the local directory.
The consistency is helpful for gauging Gitian build progress. Right now it's necessary to remember which platform builds in which order, which can be confusing if you're attempting to get a quick idea of how far along your builds are.
