For leveldb "An iterator operates on a snapshot of the database taken
when the iterator is created". This means that it is unnecessary to
lock out other threads while computing statistics, and neither to hold
cs_main for the whole time. Let the thread run free.
Make it possible to opt-out of the centralized alert system by providing
an option `-noalerts` or `-alerts=0`. The default remains unchanged.
This is a gentler form of #6260, in which I went a bit overboard by
removing the alert system completely.
I intend to add this to the GUI options in another pull after this.
Chance "getbalance *" not to use IsTrusted. The method and result
now match the "getbalance <specific-account>" behavior. In
particular, "getbalance * 0" now works.
Also fixed a comment -- GetGalance has required 1 confirmation
for many years, and the default "getbalance *" behavior matches
that.
Univalue's parsing of \u escape sequences did not handle NUL characters
correctly. They were, effectively, dropped. The extended test-case
fails with the old code, and is fixed with this patch.
Rather than fetching a signature.tar.gz from somewhere on the net, instruct
Gitian to use a signature from a tag in the bitcoin-detached-sigs repository
which corresponds to the tag of the release being built.
This changes detached-sig-apply.sh to take a dirname rather than a tarball as
an argument, though detached-sig-create.sh still outputs a tarball for
convenience.
Do not translate -help-debug options, Many technical terms, and
only a very small audience, so is unnecessary stress to translators.
Brings the code up to date with translation string policy in
`doc/translation_strings_policy.md`.
Also remove no-longer-relevant "In this mode -genproclimit controls how
many blocks are generated immediately." (as of #5957) from regtest help.
7d8ffac Changes necessary now that zero values accepted in AmountFromValue (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
a04bdef Get rid of fPlus argument to FormatMoney (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
4b4b9a8 Don't go through double in AmountFromValue and ValueFromAmount (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
The partition checking code was using chainActive timestamps
to detect partitioning; with headers-first syncing, it should use
(and with this pull request, does use) pIndexBestHeader timestamps.
Fixes issue #6251
- Add an accept test for zero amounts, and a reject test for negative
amounts
- Remove ugly hack in `settxfee` that is no longer necessary
- Do explicit zero checks in wallet RPC functions
- Don't add a check for zero amounts in `createrawtransaction` - this
could be seen as a feature
My prime gripe with JSON spirit was that monetary values still had to be
converted from and to floating point which can cause deviations (see #3759
and https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/22716/bitcoind-sendfrom-round-amount-error).
As UniValue stores internal values as strings, this is no longer
necessary. This avoids risky double-to-integer and integer-to-double
conversions completely, and results in more elegant code to boot.
