Fixes for gcc 7 This fixes a few issues when using a newer compiler (in my case gcc 7.1.1) available in for example Arch Linux. Solves for example this issue: https://github.com/zcash/zcash/issues/2304 The first thing is an error when checking for boost_system and is solved by disabling that warning (wich is treated as an error and, hence, stops the build): ``` configure:22242: checking for exit in -lboost_system-mt configure:22267: g++ -m64 -o conftest -std=c++11 -pipe -fPIC -O1 -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing -Werror -g -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wstack-protector -fstack-protector-all -fPIE ..<snip>... /x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/share/../lib conftest.cpp -lboost_system-mt -lanl >&5 conftest.cpp:70:6: error: declaration of 'char exit()' conflicts with built-in declaration 'void exit(int)' [-Werror=builtin-declaration-mismatch] char exit (); ^~~~ cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors ``` The second thing was to clean some code that is deprecated in C++11 which also lead to a warning treated as error. It could also be fixed with `-Wno-deprecated` but better to fix the issue in my opinion.
Zcash 1.0.11
What is Zcash?
Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Based on Bitcoin's code, it intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata. Technical details are available in our Protocol Specification.
This software is the Zcash client. It downloads and stores the entire history of Zcash transactions; depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process could take a day or more once the blockchain has reached a significant size.
Security Warnings
See important security warnings in doc/security-warnings.md.
Zcash is experimental and a work-in-progress. Use at your own risk.
Deprecation Policy
This release is considered deprecated 16 weeks after the release day. There is an automatic deprecation shutdown feature which will halt the node some time after this 16 week time period. The automatic feature is based on block height and can be explicitly disabled.
