Switch to using Qt's QLocalServer/QLocalSocket to handle bitcoin
payment links (bitcoin:... URIs)
Reason for switch: the boost::interprocess mechanism seemed flaky,
and doesn't mesh as well with "The Qt Way"
qtipcserver.cpp/h is replaced by paymentserver.cpp/h
Click-to-pay now also works on OSX, with a custom Info.plist
that registers Bitcoin-Qt as a handler for bitcoin: URLs and
an event listener on the main QApplication that handles
QFileOpenEvents (Qt translates 'url clicked' AppleEvents into
QFileOpenEvents automagically).
- this change allows us to keep the translation without the need to
re-translate any string, when we update the copyright year
- copyright symbol is changed to HTML to ensure we get no encoding
issues and it's removed from the translation string so translators don't
break it by mistake
- don't show QR Code context menu, when USE_QRCODE=1 was not specified
when compiling the client
- re-work on_showQRCode_clicked() for better readability and remove an
unneeded duplicate check
- re-work on_signMessage_clicked() and on_verifyMessage_clicked() to match
foreach in on_showQRCode_clicked(), which seems more robust / cleaner
- re-order context menu stuff to match real context menu layout
- add comments for all private slots in the class
- this pull adds an InitMessage() function to noui.cpp, which outputs init
messages to debug.log (this allows to remove some printf() calls from
init.cpp)
- change InitMessage() in bitcoin.cpp to also write init messages to
debug.log to ensure nothting is missing in the log because of the
removal of printf() calls in init.cpp
- add qSort() for cachedAddressTable, as qLowerBound() and qUpperBound()
require the list to be in ascending order (see
http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt4/qtalgorithms.html#qLowerBound)
- add a new check in AddressTableModel::setData() to just return, when no
changes were made to a label or an address (prevents entry duplication
issue)
- remove "rec->label = value.toString();" from
AddressTableModel::setData() as the label gets updated by
AddressTablePriv::updateEntry() anyway (seems @sipa added this line via
1025440184 (L6R225))
- add another new check in AddressTableModel::setData() to just return, if
a duplicate address was found (prevents address overwrite)
- add a new check to EditAddressDialog::setModel() to prevent setting an
invalid model
- re-work the switch-case statement in AddressTableModel::accept() to
always break (as return get's called anyway) and order the list to match
the enum definition
- make accept() in editaddressdialog.h a public slot, which it should be
- misc small coding style changes
Previously when a transaction was set to lock at a specific block the
calculation was reversed, returning a negative number. This broke the UI
and caused it to display %n in place of the actual number.
In addition the previous calculation would display "Open for 0 blocks"
when the block height was such that the next block created would
finalize the transaction. Inserted the word "more" and changed the
calculation so that the last message would be "Open for 1 more block" to
better match user expectations.
- this prevents an interference with the IPC message queue (which is used
for URI processing) when running a testnet and mainnet instance in
parallel
- to check for testnet, I had to raise the ParseParameters() call in
main() to the topmost position
- a click on "Reset Options" sets all options to the default values by
removing all stored settings (QSettings), loading the defaults and
saving them as the new settings
- before the reset is executed the user is presented a confirmation dialog
- special casing was needed for StartAtStartup
- some users reported it as weird, that the estimated block count could be
lower than our own nodes block number (which is indeed true and not good)
- this pull adds a new default behaviour, which displays our own block
number as estimated block number, if own >= est. block count
- the pull raises space for nodes block counts in cPeerBlockCounts to 8 to
be more accurate
- also removes a reduntant setNumBlocks() call in RPCConsole and moves
initialisation of numBlocksAtStartup in ClientModel, where it belongs
- use it for displaying URI parsing warnings
- use it for displaying error and information in backup wallet function
(the information display is new and the error was a warning before)
- cleanup BitcoinGUI::incomingTransaction()
-- use message() + the information icon from message
-- comment out an unused parameter in the function definition and
declaration
-- move all pre-checks at the beginning of the function
- this allows to setup the trayicon before we have and want a trayicon menu
- should be of great use, when we remove that splash screen
- fixes a small bug with the toggleHideAction icon, which is not only used with
trayicon but also with the Mac dock
- fix ThreadSafeMessageBox always displays error icon
- allow to specify MSG_ERROR / MSG_WARNING or MSG_INFORMATION without a
custom caption / title
- allow to specify CClientUIInterface::ICON_ERROR / ICON_WARNING and
ICON_INFORMATION (which is default) as message box icon
- remove CClientUIInterface::OK from ThreadSafeMessageBox-calls, as
the OK button will be set as default, if none is specified
- prepend "Bitcoin - " to used captions
- rename BitcoinGUI::error() -> BitcoinGUI::message() and add function
documentation
- change all style parameters and enum flags to unsigned
- update code to use that new API
- update Client- and WalletModel to use new BitcoinGUI::message() and
rename the classes error() method into message()
- include the possibility to supply the wanted icon for messages from
Client- and WalletModel via "style" parameter
Flushes the blktree/ and coins/ databases, and reindexes the
block chain files, as if their contents was loaded via -loadblock.
Based on earlier work by Jeff Garzik.
- ensure header inclusion guard is named after the header file
- add missing comments at the end of some inclusion guards
- add a small Qt5 compatibility fix in macdockiconhandler.h
- add setStatusTip() in addition to setTooltip() where it makes sense
- add only setStatusTip() if GUI element is only used in main- or tray menu
- add an event filter on our BitcoinGUI object to prevent garbelled text
on the status bar, which happens when we use it for e.g. displaying
block-sync state and then a QEvent::StatusTip wants to write own text to it
- remove a double translation of "Bitcoin client"
- instead of "return false;" use "return QDialog::eventFilter(object,
event);" to harmonize this event filter with our default behaviour
- remove orphan spaces found while editting the files
Implements #1948
- Add macro `CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` to clientversion.h
- When running a prerelease (the above macro is `false`):
- In UI, show an orange warning bar at the top. This will be used for other
warnings (and alerts) as well, instead of the status bar.
- For `bitcoind`, show the warning in the "errors" field in `getinfo`
response.
During the initial block download (or -loadblock), delay connection
of new blocks a bit, and perform them in a single action. This reduces
the load on the database engine, as subsequent blocks often update an
earlier block's transaction already.
This switches bitcoin's transaction/block verification logic to use a
"coin database", which contains all unredeemed transaction output scripts,
amounts and heights.
The name ultraprune comes from the fact that instead of a full transaction
index, we only (need to) keep an index with unspent outputs. For now, the
blocks themselves are kept as usual, although they are only necessary for
serving, rescanning and reorganizing.
The basic datastructures are CCoins (representing the coins of a single
transaction), and CCoinsView (representing a state of the coins database).
There are several implementations for CCoinsView. A dummy, one backed by
the coins database (coins.dat), one backed by the memory pool, and one
that adds a cache on top of it. FetchInputs, ConnectInputs, ConnectBlock,
DisconnectBlock, ... now operate on a generic CCoinsView.
The block switching logic now builds a single cached CCoinsView with
changes to be committed to the database before any changes are made.
This means no uncommitted changes are ever read from the database, and
should ease the transition to another database layer which does not
support transactions (but does support atomic writes), like LevelDB.
For the getrawtransaction() RPC call, access to a txid-to-disk index
would be preferable. As this index is not necessary or even useful
for any other part of the implementation, it is not provided. Instead,
getrawtransaction() uses the coin database to find the block height,
and then scans that block to find the requested transaction. This is
slow, but should suffice for debug purposes.
This reverts commit 199d88cf90, reversing
changes made to 65bc1573e7.
License is worse instead of better. Will only accept public domain and
MIT-licensed icons from now on.
- don't rely on the QSettings for cases ProxyUse and ProxySocksVersion and
query the real values via the GetProxy() call
- add a missing "succesful =" for case ProxyUse in ::setData()
