[Bitcoin-development] Update alert false positives

2014-04-19 Thread Oliver Egginger
Hello,

bitcoin-qt produces on many systems an unnecessary alert:

URGENT: Upgrade required: see https://www.bitcoin.org/heartbleed;

Especially the stable channel is affected:

https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin

This is a bit frightening for normal users. I think the best would be to
turn off this message (if possible). It produces too many false
positives and motivates people to maybe harmful workarounds.

The alert system filters based on the clients version number.

The ubuntu bitcoin ppa is dynamically linked to openssl unlike the 
binaries available from bitcoin.org

There is no way currently to notify users of 0.9.0 w/ static linking 
without also notify 0.9.0 w/ dynamic linking.
