Changes are as below: Wrap CBlockHeader::nVersion into a new class (CBlockVersion). This allows to take care of interpreting the field into a base version, auxpow flag and the chain ID. Update getauxblock.py for new 'generate' RPC call. Add 'auxpow' to block JSON. Accept auxpow as PoW verification. Add unit tests for auxpow verification. Add check for memory-layout of CBlockVersion. Weaken auxpow chain ID checks for the testnet. Allow Params() to overrule when to check the auxpow chain ID and for legacy blocks. Use this to disable the checks on testnet. Introduce CPureBlockHeader. Split the block header part that is used by auxpow and the "real" block header (that uses auxpow) to resolve the cyclic dependency between the two. Differentiate between uint256 and arith_uint256. This change was done upstream, modify the auxpow code. Add missing lock in auxpow_tests. Fix REST header check for auxpow headers. Those can be longer, thus take that into account. Also perform the check actually on an auxpow header. Correctly set the coinbase for getauxblock results. Call IncrementExtraNonce in getauxblock so that the coinbase is actually initialised with the stuff it should be. (BIP30 block height and COINBASE_FLAGS.) Implement getauxblock plus regression test. Turn auxpow test into FIXTURE test. This allows using of the Params() calls. Move CMerkleTx code to auxpow.cpp. Otherwise we get linker errors when building without wallet. Fix rebase with BIP66. Update the code to handle BIP66's nVersion=3. Enforce that auxpow parent blocks have no auxpow block version. This is for compatibility with namecoind. See also https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin/pull/199. Move auxpow-related parameters to Consensus::Params. |

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
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://bitcoin.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.
The developer mailing list should be used to discuss complicated or controversial changes before working on a patch set.
Developer IRC can be found on Freenode at #bitcoin-core-dev.
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 of the RPC interface, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and OS X, 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.
