The partition checker was producing huge number of false-positives
and was disabled in 0.12.1 on the understanding it would either be
fixed in 0.13 or removed entirely from master if not.
* Use CNode::addeName to track whether a connection to a name is already open
* A new connection to a previously-connected by-name addednode is only opened when
the previous one closes (even if the name starts resolving to something else)
* At most one connection is opened per addednode (even if the name resolves to multiple)
* Unify the code between ThreadOpenAddedNodeConnections and getaddednodeinfo
* Information about open connections is always returned, and the dns argument becomes a dummy
* An IP address and inbound/outbound is only reported for the (at most 1) open connection
In the Receive 'Tab' of the QT wallet, when 'Show'ing a previously requested payment, add a label underneath the QR Code showing the bitcoin address where the funds will go to.
This way the user can be sure that the QR code scanner app the user using is reading the correct bitcoin address, preventing funds to be stolen.
Includes fix for HiDPI screens by @jonasschnelli.
ff2dcf2 Tests: Edit bloated varint test and add option for 'barely expensive' tests (mrbandrews)
12c5a16 Catch exceptions from non-canonical encoding and print only to log (mrbandrews)
291f8aa Continuing port of java comptool (mrbandrews)
8c9e681 Tests: Rework blockstore to avoid re-serialization. (mrbandrews)
c2dd5a3 FIX: correctly measure size of priority block (Alex Morcos)
a278764 FIX: Account for txs already added to block in addPriorityTxs (Alex Morcos)
4dc94d1 Refactor CreateNewBlock to be a method of the BlockAssembler class (Alex Morcos)
always grow to its maximum size.
This does not go so far as to attempt to connect orphans made
connectable by a new block.
Keeping the orphan map less full helps improve the reliability
of relaying chains of transactions.
Add a setting ensure_ascii to AuthServiceProxy. This setting,
defaulting to True (backwards compatible),
is passed through to json.dumps. If set to False, non-ASCII characters
>0x80 are not escaped. This is useful for testing server
input processing, as well as slightly more bandwidth friendly in case of
heavy unicode usage.
- create a script to handle split debug. This will also eventually need to check
targets, and use dsymutil for osx.
- update config.guess/config.sub for bdb for aarch64.
- temporarily disable symbol checks for arm/aarch64
- quit renaming to linux32/linux64 and use the host directly
This also adds a hack to work around an Ubuntu bug in the gcc-multilib package:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-defaults-armhf-cross/+bug/1347820
The problem is that gcc-multilib conflicts with the aarch toolchain.
gcc-multilib installs a symlink that points
/usr/include/asm -> /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm.
Without this link, gcc -m32 can't find asm/errno.h (and others), since
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu isn't in its default include path. But
/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu is (though it doesn't exist on disk).
So work around the problem by linking
/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/asm -> /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm.
The symlink fix is actually quite reasonable, but echoing the password into
sudo is nasty, and should probably be addressed in gitian itself. It makes more
sense to enable passwordless sudo for the build user by default.
