   Fixes a memory exhaustion attack on low-memory peers.

3. Dump addresses every 15 minutes instead of 10 seconds 65c20dbf55
4. Bump version numbers for 0.8.3 release 40809aed65
5. Bump version numbers to prep for 0.8.4 release 6929f2a45f
6. Fix Gnome bitcoin: URI handler 6f315b4016
7. Fix multi-block reorg transaction resurrection 38863afbcc
8. Make RPC password resistant to timing attacks

   Fixes issue#2838; this is a tweaked version of pull#2845 that
   should not leak the length of the password and is more generic,
   in case we run into other situations where we need
   timing-attack-resistant comparisons.

10. Simplify storage of orphan transactions

    Orphan transactions were stored as a CDataStream pointer;
    this changes the mapOrphanTransactions data structures to
    store orphans as a CTransaction.
    
    This also fixes CVE-2013-4627 by always re-serializing
    transactions before relaying them.

17. Performance optimization for bloom filters.

    This reduces a peer's ability to attack network resources by
     using a full bloom filter, but without reducing the usability
     of bloom filters.  It sets a default match everything filter
     for peers and it generalizes a prior optimization to
     cover more cases.

18. fixed: include boost header as necessary

    Without this include, sometimes BOOST_VERSION was defined and sometimes
    it was not, depending on which includes came before it. The result was a
    random mix of sleep or sleep_for for boost versions >= 1.50.

19. fixed: don't use thread::sleep_for where it's known to be broken

    Fixes #2690.

21. Update the bloom state on the real object, not the temporary one.

    This resulted in just passing all transactions to filtered wallets
    which worked surprisingly well, except where it didn't.

22. Longer term workaround for chainstate corruption from negative versions.

    This also makes negative transaction versions non-standard.
    
    This avoids an issue triggered in block 256818 where transactions with
    negative version numbers were incorrectly serialized into the UTXO set.
    
    On restart nodes detect the inconsistency and refuse to start so long as
    a block with these transactions is inside the self-consistency check
    window, logging "coin database inconsistencies found". The software
    recommends reindexing, but reindexing does not correct the problem.
    
    This should be fixed by changing the chainstate serialization, but
    working around it seems harmless for now because the version is not
    used by any network rule currently.
    
    A patch free workaround is to start with -checklevel=2 which skips
    the consistency checks, but the IsStandard change is important for
    miners in order to protect unpatched nodes.

    What are you trying to do?

    The master branch you’re merging into is currently on its way to become 0.9.0, and branched off 0.8.2 The 0.8.{3,4,5} versions were backports of fixes into the stable tree.
