Merge #16690: Prepare release notes for 0.19 
74e3876989 Release notes: add previously undocumented changes (David A. Harding)
7e1634a927 Release notes: edit previously-detached notes (David A. Harding)
e7415a5a95 Doc: move detached release notes into release-notes.md (David A. Harding)

Pull request description:

  Merges in detached release notes, edits each change down to a single paragraph bullet point (or, in a couple cases, two individual bullet points in separate sections each with a single paragraph).  Adds notes for some undocumented changes I found reviewing `git log --merges`.  Also tries something new: adds the PR number(s) after each entry to make it easier for both reviewers and end-user readers to look up the details behind each change.  (If the PR numbers are unwanted, they're easy to remove either in this PR or later in the release process.)

  I also checked the 0.18 branch but I didn't find anything in the current release notes that had been backported.

  A particular focus in my editing was trying to keep things concise, particularly by pointing to RPC documentation when available (or upcoming, as in #16629).  I do suspect that one downside of detached notes is that people write longer summaries than they would if they knew there were already 300 other lines of release notes.  :-)

  The first commit only moves notes, puts them in bullet form, adjusts indentation appropriately, and drops unneeded headers.  It can be reviewed with `git diff --color-moved=dimmed-zebra` for a little bit of a speedup, but unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to split my copy/pasting and line wrapping into separate commits, so it's not a transparently move-only change.

ACKs for top commit:
  fanquake:
    ACK 74e3876989 - Thanks for doing this. It's nice to have a gauge of what's going to be in the `0.19.0` release.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree

https://bitcoincore.org

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an experimental 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 https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the original whitepaper.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

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 Core.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, 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. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python, that are run automatically on the build server. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.

Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
