List of notable changes and fixes to the code base:

• Graphene Relay: A protocol for efficiently relaying blocks across a blockchain's network (experimental, turned off by default, set use-grapheneblocks=1 to turn it on, spec draft )
• blocksdb: Add leveldb as an alternative storage method for blocks and undo data (experimental, on-disk blocksdb data formats may change in subsequent releases, turned off by default)
• Double Spend Relaying
• BIP 135: Generalized version bits miners voting
• Clean up shadowing/thread clang warn
• Update depends libraries
• Rework of the Bitcoin fuzzer command line driver tool
• Add stand alone cpu miner to the set of binaries (useful to showcase the new mining RPC calls, provides a template for development of mining pool software, and is valuable for regtest/testnet mining)
• Cashlib: create a shared library to make creating wallets easier (experimental, this library factors useful functionality out of bitcoind into a separate shared library that is callable from higher level languages. Currently supports transaction signing, additional functionality TBD)
• Improve QA machinery (travis mainly)
• Port Hierarchical Deterministic wallet (BIP 32)
• add space-efficient mining RPC calls that send only the block header, coinbase transaction, and merkle branch: getminingcandidate, submitminingsolution
