f1bd03eb013b96ff040a8f835e4137fbd2a38cda [depends, zmq, doc] upgrade zeromq to 4.2.5 and avoid deprecated zeromq api functions (mruddy) Pull request description: Upgrade the ZeroMQ dependency from version 4.2.3 to the latest stable version 4.2.5. This PR Follows the lead of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11986. I upgraded both patch files to correspond to the version `4.2.5` libzmq files. I assume doing so is still necessary and correct. Without updating the patch line numbers, things appear to work, but you get extra log messages while building `depends` because things don't exactly match, e.g.: ``` /bitcoin/depends> make zeromq Extracting zeromq... /bitcoin/depends/sources/zeromq-4.2.5.tar.gz: OK Preprocessing zeromq... patching file src/windows.hpp Hunk #1 succeeded at 58 (offset 3 lines). patching file src/thread.cpp Hunk #1 succeeded at 307 with fuzz 2 (offset 87 lines). Hunk #2 succeeded at 323 with fuzz 2 (offset 90 lines). ``` Updating the patches seemed cleaner, so I did it. Note that libzmq had some whitespace changes, so that's why the updated patches do too.

Bitcoin Core
Setup
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions (which is currently more than 100 GBs); depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.
Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoin-qt(GUI) orbin/bitcoind(headless)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
macOS
Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
