A) The changes in behavior are as follows:
1. Introduce logging category "none" as alias of "0" for
both RPC-logging and bitcoind "-debug" parameter.
2. Same as "0" is given to argument of "-debug",
if "none" or "0" is given to <include>, all other given logging
categories are ignored. The same is true for <exclude>.
(Before this PR, "0" was accepted but just be ignored itself.)
B) The changes in the help text are as follows:
1. Add a descrption about the evaluation order of <include> and
<exclude> to clarify how debug loggig categories to be set.
2. Delete text that describe restriction about libevent because
it's already allowed libevent logging to be updated during runtime.
3. Add a description for category "all", "1", "none" and "0".
4. Add "optional" to the help text of <include> and <exclude>.
5. Add missing new lines before "Argument:".
6. This RPC always returns all logging categories with status.
Fix the help text to match this behavior.
This started out as a developer hack but now it's useful
enough for general use. Unhide the call by moving it to `control` category.
This makes it documented in `help`.
Adds HasAllRelevantServices and GetRelevantServices, which check
for NETWORK|WITNESS.
This changes the following:
* Removes nRelevantServices from CConnman, disconnecting it a bit
more from protocol-level logic.
* Replaces our sometimes-connect-to-!WITNESS-nodes logic with
simply always requiring WITNESS|NETWORK for outbound non-feeler
connections (feelers still only require NETWORK).
* This has the added benefit of removing nServicesExpected from
CNode - instead letting net_processing's VERSION message
handling simply check HasAllRelevantServices.
* This implies we believe WITNESS nodes to continue to be a
significant majority of nodes on the network, but also because
we cannot sync properly from !WITNESS nodes, it is strange to
continue using our valuable outbound slots on them.
* In order to prevent this change from preventing connection to
-connect= nodes which have !WITNESS, -connect nodes are now
given the "addnode" flag. This also allows outbound connections
to !NODE_NETWORK nodes for -connect nodes (which was already true
of addnodes).
* Has the (somewhat unintended) consequence of changing one of the
eviction metrics from the same
sometimes-connect-to-!WITNESS-nodes metric to requiring
HasRelevantServices.
This should make NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED much simpler to implement.
This fixes "Wallet file not specified" errors when making batch wallet RPC
calls with more than one wallet loaded. This issue was reported by
NicolasDorier <nicolas.dorier@gmail.com>
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/11257
Request URI is not used for anything except multiwallet request dispatching, so
this change has no other effects.
Fixes#11257
This adds the infrastructure `BaseRequestHandler` class that takes care
of converting bitcoin-cli arguments into a JSON-RPC request object, and
converting the reply into a JSON object that can be shown as result.
This is subsequently used to handle the `-getinfo` option, which sends
a JSON-RPC batch request to the RPC server with
`["getnetworkinfo", "getblockchaininfo", "getwalletinfo"]`,
and after reply combines the result into what looks like a `getinfo`
result.
There have been some requests for a client-side `getinfo` and this
is my PoC of how to do it. If this is considered a good idea
some of the logic could be moved up to rpcclient.cpp and
used in the GUI console as well.

Changes the errors field to warnings. To maintain compatibility,
the errors field is deprecated and enabled by starting bitcoind with
-deprecatedrpc=getmininginfo
Deprecate estimatefee in v0.16, for final removal in v0.17.
This commit introduces a phased removal of RPC methods. RPC method is
disabled by default in version x, but can be enabled by using the
`-deprecatedrpc=<method>` argument. RPC method is removed entirely in
version (x+1).
Combine fLimitFree and fOverrideMempoolLimit into a single boolean:
bypass_limits. This is used to indicate that mempool limiting based on feerate
should be bypassed. It is used when readding transactions from a reorg and then
the mempool is trimmed to size after all transactions are added and they can be
evaluated in the context of their descendants. No changes to behavior.
* This removes block-size-limiting code in favor of GBT clients
doing the limiting themselves (if at all).
* -blockmaxsize is deprecated and only used to calculate an implied
blockmaxweight, addressing confusion from multiple users.
* getmininginfo's currentblocksize return value was returning
garbage values, and has been removed, also removing a
GetSerializeSize call in some block generation inner loops and
potentially addressing some performance edge cases.
This patch removes the need for the intermediary Base58 type
CBitcoinAddress, by providing {Encode,Decode,IsValid}Destination
function that directly operate on the conversion between strings
and CTxDestination.
1. The RPC help text should use the constant CURRENCY_UNIT defined in
policy/feerate.cpp instead of the literal 'BTC'. In the following
2 RPC commands, 'BTC' is written directly in the help text.
1) estimatesmartfee
2) estimaterawfee
And also, for these help strings, the notation
'fee-per-kilobyte (in BTC)' is somewhat ambiguous.
To write more precisely, this commit changes to 'fee rate in BTC/kB'
with using the constant CURRENCY_UNIT.
2. Some RPC command use 'satoshis' as the unit. It should be written
as 'satoshis' instead of 'Satoshis' in the RPC help text.
So, this commit fixes this typo in getblocktemplate.
3. The phrase that '... feerate (BTC per KB) ...' is used to explain
the fee rate in the help text of following 2 RPC commands.
1) getmempoolinfo
2) fundrawtransaction
But they are different from other similar help text of the RPCs.
And also, 'KB' implies Kibibyte (2^10 byte).
To unify and to clarify, this commit changes these phrase to
'... fee rate in BTC/kB ...'.
(BTC references the constant 'CURRENCY_UNIT')
This contains most of the changes of 10563 "remove safe mode", but doesn't
remove the safe mode yet, but put an `ObserveSafeMode()` check in
individual calls with okSafeMode=false.
This cleans up the ugly "okSafeMode" flag from the dispatch tables,
which is not a concern for the RPC server.

Use POSIX rename atomicity at the `bitcoind` side to create a working
cookie atomically:
- Write `.cookie.tmp`, close file
- Rename `.cookie.tmp` to `.cookie`
This avoids clients reading invalid/partial cookies as in #11129.
1. Calculate nblocks more adaptive.
If not specify nblocks-parameter, illegal parameter error
will happen when target block height is below blocks for 1 month.
To avoid this error, set default nblocks to
min(blocks for 1 month, target block's height - 1)
And allowing 0 so that this RPC works good even if target block is
genesis block or 1st block.
2. Correct error message.
nblocks accepts [0 .. block's height -1] . so fix as following:
"Invalid block count: should be between 0 and the block's height - 1"
3. Add check 0-divide.
If nTimeDiff = 0 then returns {... "txrate":} and
bitcoin-cli cannot handle the response.
To avoid this error, do not return "txrate" if nTimeDiff = 0.
4. Add following 3 elements to the return object.
1) 'window_block_count' : Size of the window in number of blocks.
2) 'window_tx_count' : The number of transactions in the window.
3) 'window_interval' : The elapsed time in the window.
They clarify how 'txrate' is calculated. 2) and 3) are returned
only if 'window_block_count' is a positive value.
5. Improve help text for 'time' as following.
'The timestamp for the final block in the window in UNIX format.
This changes RPC methods to treat null arguments the same as missing arguments,
instead of throwing type errors. Specifically:
- `getbalance` method now returns the wallet balance when the `account` param
is null instead of throwing a type error (same as when parameter is missing).
It is still an error to supply `minconf` or `watchonly` options when the
account is null.
- `addnode` and `setban` methods now return help text instead of type errors if
`command` params are null (same as when params are missing).
- `sendrawtransaction`, `setaccount`, `movecmd`, `sendfrom`,
`addmultisigaddress`, `listaccounts`, `lockunspent` methods accept null
default values where missing values were previously allowed, and treat them
the same.
