DanS af7d9e2300 release: bump to v1.3.0 and document the signing step that was never performed
The tree stamped 1.2.0 in both configure.ac and src/clientversion.h, but
v1.2.0 is an annotated tag already pushed at fad05d3ab and dev is 27
commits past it. Both trees therefore produced CLIENT_VERSION 1020050 and
announced an identical /DragonX:1.2.0/ subversion, so a released binary
would have been indistinguishable from the tag on the wire, in
getnetworkinfo, and to the wallet's in-app updater -- destroying the only
provenance check users have: build the tag, compare the binary.

Bump MINOR rather than REVISION: the delta since v1.2.0 adds a subsystem
(RandomX stratum) and a new RPC (stratummine).

  configure.ac, src/clientversion.h  1.2.0 -> 1.3.0 (CLIENT_VERSION 1030050)
  doc/man/*.1                        version strings restamped
  contrib/debian/changelog           1.3.0 entry for the 27 commits
  src/chain.h                        stale "CLIENT_VERSION is 1010050" comment

Man page *content* still needs a real regeneration: util/gen-manpages.sh
requires help2man and built 1.3.0 binaries, so it belongs in the release
build, where it will also pick up the new stratum options.

doc/release-process.md is why v1.1.0 and v1.2.0 were tagged but never
became releases. Followed verbatim it produced a release the wallet
refuses to install:

  - it directed releases to a branch named `dragonx`, which does not
    exist; releases are cut on `master`
  - it never once mentioned signing, yet the updater pins an ed25519 key
    and sets kDaemonRequireSignature = true, so an unsigned release is
    refused outright and every user silently stays on their old daemon
  - it did not require the release tag to be annotated, and genbuild.sh
    calls `git describe` without --tags, so a lightweight tag stamps the
    build `v<older-tag>-<sha>` instead of the release version -- which is
    exactly what happened to v1.0.0 through v1.0.3
  - it referenced util/build-debian-package-ARM.sh, which is not in tree

Adds the signing and checksum-table steps, the annotated-tag requirement
with a `git describe` verification, and the rule that a new version must
exceed every existing tag including unpublished ones.

DragonX Contrib

This directory contains various supporting tools and scripts. Much of this is old material inherited from the Bitcoin/Zcash/Komodo/Hush lineage, so not every script is guaranteed to work. Please fix bugs and report anything you find.

DragonX Tools

block_time.pl

Estimate when a DragonX block will happen.

Example:

./contrib/block_time.pl  123456 # Print out datetime of when block height 123456 happens

gen-zaddrs.pl

Generate zaddrs in bulk, by default 50 at a time. Prints out a zaddr one per line. Useful on a fully-private chain where shielded addresses are the norm.

Example:

./contrib/gen-zaddrs.pl     # generate 50 zaddrs
./contrib/gen-zaddrs.pl 500 # generate 500 zaddrs

Repository Tools

Verify-Commits

Tool to verify that merge commits were signed by a developer.

Linearize

Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.

Qos

A Linux bash script that sets up traffic control (tc) to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the DragonX network. This lets you run an always-on dragonxd instance and have another local dragonxd connect to it and receive blocks from it.

Seeds

Utility to generate the seed node array that is compiled into the client.

Build Tools and Keys

Debian

Contains files used to package dragonxd for Debian-based Linux systems.

Gitian-descriptors

Legacy notes on getting gitian builds running. Note that the real DragonX build path is ./build.sh together with the depends/ system; gitian is legacy.

Gitian-downloader

Various PGP files of developers.

MacDeploy

Scripts and notes for Mac builds.

Test and Verify Tools

TestGen

Utilities to generate test vectors for the data-driven base58 tests.

Verify SF Binaries

Legacy SourceForge-era signature verification script (unused for DragonX).
