So I just create= d a 0.8.4 branch, based on the 0.8.3 branch, and will be cherry-picking fro= m the master branch.

Planned changes from t= he 0.8.3 release:

Securi= ty-related:
42656ea =A0Make RPC password resistant to timing attacks
159bc48 =A0Simplify storage of orphan transactions, fix CVE-2013-4627
=
37c6389 =A0Performance optimization for bloom filters (help mitigate p= otential DoS attack discussed last week)

Bug fixes= :
9bf2a4ab =A0Fix multi-block reorg transaction resurrection
b= f81a3ef =A0Fix Gnome bitcoin: URI handler
f0784ac4 =A0Fix no= n-standard disconnected transactions causing mempool orphans
2461= aba1 =A0Mempool consistency check
pull 2916 =A0Import OSX fsync change from LevelDB subtree =A0(wi= ll hopefully fix the random-OSX leveldb corruption issues)

There are lots of little fixes that could be included, but those w= ill wait for the 0.9 release.
