9086e0dd3c924b6c9a5ad05799d30d97b9ced3be build: set Unicode true for NSIS installer (fanquake) Pull request description: Now that we are using Focal for gitian builds, and have [NSIS 3.0+ available](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/nsis) (also in Guix), we can create installers that [support unicode](https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Docs/Chapter4.html#aunicodetarget). Unicode is only becoming the NSIS default [beginning with the 3.07 release](https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Docs/AppendixF.html#v3.07-cl), so we need to set this attribute to get support. Should close: #13817 Gitian builds: ```bash b8553615b6b4be5e4459e03796e700b30b5d198a7f184f27be6983ff901b5592 bitcoin-9086e0dd3c92-win-unsigned.tar.gz a6b024a5a68e0196e8e118168c918285e820f2d0ffe9c38db680580459da8bf3 bitcoin-9086e0dd3c92-win64-debug.zip ff4003d4f61127c707e44b5235eaf924b30351f20cde27e775131982a1b4cf92 bitcoin-9086e0dd3c92-win64-setup-unsigned.exe 1876bee55fa9ea99b91203975c13d0ad8a046b4b58068bde41c977fd1d12de13 bitcoin-9086e0dd3c92-win64.zip 000f2778f8f166a89b4ab35f155156c1c34800be6e47d29b5308043c50128392 src/bitcoin-9086e0dd3c92.tar.gz d650a9b8f2dd1df777bf42439dfcbcf6bc358e30ec148b9992a18b39f76b1ecf bitcoin-core-win-22-res.yml ``` ACKs for top commit: laanwj: ACK 9086e0dd3c924b6c9a5ad05799d30d97b9ced3be hebasto: ACK 9086e0dd3c924b6c9a5ad05799d30d97b9ced3be, tested on Windows 10 Pro (20H2, build 19042.804): Tree-SHA512: cc7b7ca05877571d0a29a7d36e40279f54d886d8ab27facfa722c2ee95a1fc06c2bad8ef1eb1980d283ae981659d737021a46c8f4618e24d510b5ab384990e09

What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information read the original Bitcoin whitepaper.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
