On Linux/Mac the command-line options were printed to stderr when the button
was pressed in the debug window, resulting in confusion. This is fixed
in this commit by adding a separate method.
- Signals now go directly from the core to WalletModel/ClientModel.
- WalletModel subscribes to signals on CWallet: Prepares for multi-wallet support, by no longer assuming an implicit global wallet.
- Gets rid of noui.cpp, the few lines that were left are merged into init.cpp
- Rename wxXXX message flags to MF_XXX, to make them UI indifferent.
- ThreadSafeMessageBox no longer returns the value `4` which was never used, converted to void.
Gets rid of `MainFrameRepaint` in favor of specific update functions that tell the UI exactly what changed.
This improves the efficiency of various handlers. Also fixes problems with mined transactions not showing up until restart.
The following notifications were added:
- `NotifyBlocksChanged`: Block chain changed
- `NotifyKeyStoreStatusChanged`: Wallet status (encrypted, locked) changed.
- `NotifyAddressBookChanged`: Address book entry changed.
- `NotifyTransactionChanged`: Wallet transaction added, removed or updated.
- `NotifyNumConnectionsChanged`: Number of connections changed.
- `NotifyAlertChanged`: New, updated or cancelled alert. As this finally makes it possible for the UI to know when a new alert arrived, it can be shown as OS notification.
These notifications could also be useful for RPC clients. However, currently, they are ignored in bitcoind (in noui.cpp).
Also brings back polling with timer for numBlocks in ClientModel. This value updates so frequently during initial download that the number of signals clogs the UI thread and causes heavy CPU usage. And after initial block download, the value changes so rarely that a delay of half a second until the UI updates is unnoticable.
- Solves #1278, attempts to address #1049
- Removes \t's from help message that are removed afterwards anyway
- Moves UI-specific command-line options help to UI code
- Moves "-detachdb" out of #ifdef USE_UPNP
Implemented without having to touch any translation: by listening for QEvent::ToolTipChange events, then rewriting the tooltips to prefix `<qt/>` if it is not yet rich text.
This commit removes the dependency of serialize.h on PROTOCOL_VERSION,
and makes this parameter required instead of implicit. This is much saner,
as it makes the places where changing a version number can have an
influence obvious.
This is more clear to users than when the program simply disappears (usually during initialization). It still logs the message to the console and debug log as well.
- rename wxMessageBox, remove redundant arguments to noui/qtui calls
- also, add flag to force blocking, modal dialog box for disk space warning etc
- clarify function naming
- no more special MessageBox needed from AppInit2, as window object is created before calling AppInit2
- Overall, this is better design
- This fixes problems with the address book UI not updating when the address book is changed through RPC
- Move Statusbar change detection responsibility to ClientModel
- use wildcard for TRANSLATIONS in bitcoin-qt.pro to automatically build all translations present in src/qt/locale (thanks @tcatm)
- first load translations/<language>.qm, then translations/<language>_<TERRITORY>.qm, so that territory-specific translations take precedence, but the fallback is on the base language if no territory-specific translation exists.
Now it can't be told if this is was a Windows App before. All Mac design principles are fulfilled and some cosmetics have been applied to suit the native look and feel. The biggest change there is the proper use of the Dock icon which takes the role of the Tray icon on Mac.
The QDoubleSpinBox improves entering of Bitcoin amounts, no two separate fields are required anymore. All functionality and validation effects have been retained; pressing the comma key will be internally translated to a period to keep it consistent throughout the application and eases entering in countries which use the comma as decimal separator.
Additionally, Notificator now supports Growl, Mac's native notification system. This is provided via Apple Script in order to avoid linking to Growl on compile time. Other changes involve encapsulation of Toolbar and Menubar creation, loading of Qt's own translation and some clean up.
