Add additional variables to the release note files to allow setting the version number and date. The version number is required, and can be used to automatically set the release notes title. The date is optional and can be set hours/days after the release. Additionally, a Makefile test is added that checks whether the download files exist on the Bitcoin.org server. This can help prevent creating a broken Download page. * Set variables for all previous releases * Document variables in README.md * Update code and templates to use variables * Add the Download page links to the "dl" CSS class. Also add newlines to make the HTML a bit easier to parse using sed * Add a new Liquid plugin to print warnings. This is used to print a non-error warning if any release is created without the optional date

This is a bug-fix and code-cleanup release, with no major new features.

NOTABLE CHANGES
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Much faster shutdowns. However, the blkindex.dat file is no longer
|
|
portable to different data directories by default. If you need a
|
|
portable blkindex.dat file then run with the new -detachdb=1 option
|
|
or the "Detach databases at shutdown" GUI preference.
|
|
|
|
Mac and Windows binaries are compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.1b (Linux
|
|
binaries are dynamically linked to the version of OpenSSL on the system).
|
