David A. Harding cbebe461ff Releases: Variablize Release Notes 
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

0.6.3 2012-06-25 Bitcoin-Qt version 0.6.3 released

Bitcoin-Qt version 0.6.3 is now available for download at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.6.3/

This is a bug-fix release, with no new features.

CHANGE SUMMARY

Fixed a serious denial-of-service attack that could cause the bitcoin process to become unresponsive. Thanks to Sergio Lerner for finding and responsibly reporting the problem. (CVE-2012-3789)

Optimized the process of checking transaction signatures, to speed up processing of new block messages and make propagating blocks across the network faster.

Fixed an obscure bug that could cause the bitcoin process to get stuck on an invalid block-chain, if the invalid chain was hundreds of blocks long.

Bitcoin-Qt no longer automatically selects the first address in the address book (Issue #1384).

Fixed minimize-to-dock behavior of Bitcon-Qt on the Mac.

Added a block checkpoint at block 185,333 to speed up initial blockchain download.
