This frees us from GitHub actions brownouts and early deprecation
by no longer using Microsoft-maintained images in favor of bare
images from Docker Hub. The latter keeps images available for a
longer time, regardless of whether or not Canonical directly
supports them.
Benefits:
- Decouples our release cycle from what Microsoft is willing to
spend support effort on.
- Reduces bloat in base images
Because the bare ubuntu images contain a lot less pre-installed
tooling, some changes in orchestration need to be made for this
to be successful, as well as some workarounds can be removed:
- All GitHub Actions base operating systems are set to
ubuntu-24.04, as all we use from this now is containerd.
- All docker images remain ubuntu:20.04 for now, as this is
needed for symbol compatibility (and for now, we use the same
version in Gitian builds)
- Until the base image used for GitHub Actions and the provided
containerd is providing sandboxed mounting on /proc, every
process that needs custom binfmts needs to be ran privileged.
Currently this means all windows builds need this.
see: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211028103114.2849140-2-brauner@kernel.org/
- Staying on custom binfmts, the Microsoft-maintained image
contained mono runtimes and reduced compatibility with wine,
for which we had workarounds in place. These are no longer
needed and have been removed.
- For future troubleshooting, the currently installed binfmts
and the kernel version are verbosely displayed inside jobs
- Because GitHub Actions does not allow us to pass zero
arguments to container options, whenever there are none a
dummy environment value 1DOGE is set to 1DOGE.
- For macOS, the libbz2-dev library was missing from our system
dependencies, this was masked by it being installed by default
in the Microsoft-maintained image.
- Bare containers do not come configured with a timezone, so this
needed to be added to container initialization before any apt
calls are made.
- Because Microsoft runs the container under uid 1001, which does
not exist in the bare ubuntu:20.04 image, a special cleanup
step for the qa/cache needed to be made, or else the build
caches would fail to upload at the end of the CI run.
Completely removes BIP70 support from Dogecoin Qt code.
Also removes protobuf-compatibility tests as these rely on
paymentserverplus code and any TLS related configuration, and
the -enable-bip70 flag from init.cpp
- fixes the language coding: it should be either de_DE or just de;
the latter was chosen because there is only one German
translation and can be used generically. See RFC5646 for the
scheme, ISO 639 for the language part and ISO 3166 for the
territory part.
- Added the translation to the internationalizatio index in
doc/intl/README.md
[Bugfix] Fix incorrect disconnect call for static functions
Problem:
When using `uiInterface.NotifyBlockTip.disconnect(BlockNotifyGenesisWait)`
to disconnect a static function, the compilation fails because `boost::signals2::disconnect`
requires the exact type signature match of the slot. Using the function name directly
doesn't resolve to the correct function pointer for static functions.
Solution:
The fix explicitly uses `&BlockNotifyGenesisWait` to pass the function pointer.
This resolves the compilation error.
Impact:
Only affects the disconnect mechanism for static functions in `uiInterface.NotifyBlockTip`.

This reverses the order in which the auxpow structure and the PoW on it
are verified. By checking the PoW first, we make it harder for random
nodes to pass data of their choosing into CAuxPow::check.
Cherry-picked from: namecoin/namecoin-core@b6e3241b
Conflicts resolved:
- CAuxPow member name mismatch
- source code from validation.cpp resides in dogecoin.cpp
Replaces assert() calls with if() statements returning functional
failure that can be handled for situations that can be triggered
from outside of compiled code - i.e. peers.

The discord shortened URL has been hijacked for a while and this
has been routing users to a potentially malicious environment.
To remove this risk completely, this removes all URLs that are not
under github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin, to reduce the impact of any
future URL hijacking.
the .99 makes sure that code in master is never mistaken for
release code, and is always a higher version than the last minor
release
Also set the last release date to match 1.14.8 instead of 1.14.7
Change the branching strategy to be able to release software for
multiple versions asynchronously, while having an integral up to
date but unstable master branch.
This is a major administrative policy change.
