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.
This sets aside a number of connection slots for whitelisted peers,
useful for ensuring your local users and miners can always get in,
even if your limit on inbound connections has already been reached.
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.
Simplify and make the code in AppInit2 more clear.
This provides a straightforward flow, gets rid of .count() (which makes
it possible to override an earlier provided proxy option to nothing), as
well as comments the different cases.
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.
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.
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.
This prevents an edge case where a block downloaded and pruned
in-between successive calls to FindNextBlocksToDownload could
cause the block to be unnecessarily re-requested.
Strict parsing functions for other numeric types.
- ParseInt64 analogous to ParseInt32, but for 64-bit values.
- ParseDouble for doubles.
- Make all three Parse* functions more strict (e.g. reject whitespace on
the inside)
Also add tests.
- implement find_value() function for UniValue
- replace all Array/Value/Object types with UniValues, remove JSON Spirit to UniValue wrapper
- remove JSON Spirit sources
In some corner cases, it may be possible for recent blocks to end up in
the same block file as much older blocks. Previously, the pruning code
would stop looking for files to remove upon first encountering a file
containing a block that cannot be pruned, now it will keep looking for
candidate files until the target is met and all other criteria are
satisfied.
This can result in a noncontiguous set of block files (by number) on
disk, which is fine except for during some reindex corner cases, so
make reindex preparation smarter such that we keep the data we can
actually use and throw away the rest. This allows pruning to work
correctly while downloading any blocks needed during the reindex.
Change `read_string` to fail when not the entire input has been
consumed. This avoids unexpected, even dangerous behavior (fixes#6223).
The new JSON parser adapted in #6121 also solves this problem so in
master this is a temporary fix, but should be backported to older releases.
Also adds tests for the new behavior.
If/when CTransaction::CURRENT_VERSION is incremented, this will break CChainParams and the miner tests. This fix sets the transaction version explicitly where we depend on the hash value (genesis block, proof of work checks).
