Changes for the datadir chooser have made it impossible to specify
the network (testnet/regtest) in the configuration file for the GUI.
Reorganize the initialization sequence to make this possible again.
- Moves the "datadir" QSetting so that is no longer dependent on the
network-specific application name (doing otherwise would create a
chicken-and-egg problem).
- Re-initialize translations after choosing network. There may be a
different language configured in network-specific settings
(slim chance, but handle it for sanity).
Fixes point 1 of #3840.
contrib/devtools/fix-copyright-headers.py script to be able to perform this maintenance task with ease during the rest of the year, every year. Modifications to contrib/devtools/README.md to document what fix-copyright-headers.py does.
After the tinyformat switch sprintf() family functions support passing
actual std::string objects.
Remove unnecessary c_str calls (236 of them) in logging and formatting.
- adds a nice and well formated dialog, which displays our -? help message
(all options/paramaters)
- moves aboutdialog.cpp/h to the new utilitydialog
- move GUI shutdown window to utilitydialog
Currently it is only possible to use `walletpassphrase` to unlock the
wallet when bitcoin is started in server mode.
Almost everything that manipulates the wallet in the RPC console
needs the wallet to be unlocked and is thus unusable without -server.
This is pretty unintuitive to me, and I'm sure it's even more confusing
to users.
Solve this with a very minimal change: by making the GUI start a
dummy RPC thread just to handle timeouts.
There is not much in the GUI to be done without wallet,
though it's possible to change options, watch the sync process,
and use the debug console.
So embed the debug console in the main window.
Stop the shutdown timer from exiting the main loop
when shutdown is already in progress.
Fixes seeming hanging window after typing 'stop' in debug console.
Also hide the debug console during shutdown as it is useless without
a core to connect to.
Remove the need for global references `guiref` and
`splashref` by making the BitcoinGUI and SplashScreen
classes register for the UI interface signals themselves.
Move AppInit2 and Shutdown to a thread.
This allows a more responsive splash screen, prevents 'process does not respond'
messages from the window system and will allow for showing a user friendly
window while shutting down.
Fixes at least #3478.
Splits and documents the phases:
1. Parse command-line options. These take precedence over anything else.
2. Basic Qt initialization (not dependent on parameters or configuration)
3. Application identification
4. Initialization of translations
5. Now that settings and translations are available, ask user for data directory
6. Determine availability of data directory and parse bitcoin.conf
7. URI IPC sending
8. Main GUI initialization
Splits command line parsing logic from ipcSendCommandLine into
ipcParseCommandLine, as isTestNet() can only be overridden in the early
stages before choosing a data directory. Sending however needs to happen
after choosing a data directory.
Allow running bitcoind without server.
- Default to -server mode (of course) for bitcoind with SoftSetBoolArg
- Remove fForceServer argument from AppInit2
- Move fDaemon to a static variable in bitcoind
ThreadSafeAskFee is effectively unused. It is only called
when the fAskFee parameter on SendMoney or SendMoneyToDestination
is true, which never happens. Remove it.
Only messages for now, executable names and other file names
can be changed later if necessary and safe.
Do not do an all-sweeping change. Some occurences of Bitcoin-Qt need to
be kept:
- Applicationname: this is used to determine the registry entry names,
we don't want to lose settings over a silly name change.
- Where it refers to the executable name instead of the product name.
- cleanup Info.plist.in and specify high DPI mode enable command as per
http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/04/25/retina-display-support-for-mac-os-ios-and-x11/
- move setting of QApplication::setAttribute() to bitcoin.cpp and add
attribute for enabling use of high DPI pixmaps for Qt >= 5.1
- add missing setWindowTitle() on Mac
- cleanup Mac / non-Mac setup in bitcoingui.cpp
- remove explicit init of netManager as this is done in the constructor
anyway
- move initNetManager() call to uiReady(), which removes an assert() and
allows us to use message() in initNetManager() (currently unused but
could be necessary because of proxy related messages)
- make initNetManager() private
- update paymentservertests.cpp
Use misc methods of avoiding unnecesary header includes.
Replace int typedefs with int##_t from stdint.h.
Replace PRI64[xdu] with PRI[xdu]64 from inttypes.h.
Normalize QT_VERSION ifs where possible.
Resolve some indirect dependencies as direct ones.
Remove extern declarations from .cpp files.
- add new slot handlePaymentACK() to paymentserver, which handles
paymentACK messages (currently we just display them)
- make paymentACK message a modal information dialog
- change some QObject::tr() to just tr()
- clarify the processPaymentRequest() error, when IsDust()
- small string change to prevent a tripple + usage with QString
- rename reportError() into message() to be in line with our default
message() signal/slot naming (and can be used for all types of messages)
- rename some QStrings to not collide with message() function
- add a missing message for malformed URIs that IS also used in BitcoinGUI
- fix / extend some comments and misc style fixes
- make BitcoinGUI::showPaymentACK() use a reference for msg and use our
own GUIUtil::HtmlEscape() function
- ensure QTimer usage in clientmodel is the same as in walletmodel
- remove an unneeded debug message in walletframe
- flag some parameters as unused in DebugMessageHandler()
- small code formatting changes
- prepend "Bitcoin-Qt" in front of debug.log entries, which come from Qt
- move DebugMessageHandler installation upwards to the event handler
installation, which fits much better
- extend PaymentServer with setOptionsModel() and rework initNetManager()
to make use of that
- fix all other places in the code to use display unit from options and no
hard-coded unit
Add support for a Payment Protocol to Bitcoin-Qt.
Payment messages are protocol-buffer encoded and communicated over
http(s), so this adds a dependency on the Google protocol buffer
library, and requires Qt with OpenSSL support.
- move SelectParamsFromCommandLine() from init.cpp to bitcoin.cpp to allow
to use TestNet() for Bitcoin-Qt instead of GetBoolArg("-testnet", false)
- change order in bitcoind.cpp to match bitcoin.cpp functionality
- hamonize error message strings for missing datadir and failing
SelectParamsFromCommandLine() in bitcoin.cpp and bitcoind.cpp
- use TestNet() call in splashscreen.cpp
This adds an introduction screen that is shown when the client is first
started in which the user can choose a data directory.
It is also possible to force the intro screen to appear using command
line argument `-choosedatadir`.
The user is warned that the client will download and store 10Gb of data.
The intro screen shows how much space is available on the device that
contains the chosen directory and warns if this is less than the 10Gb.
To make it possible to translate the introduction dialog, the initialization
sequence is changed so that translations are
loaded before the data directory. This has the by-effect that it is
no longer possible to specify a language in bitcoin.conf inside the data
directory.
- this directly sets up all GUI elements that have testnet special-casing
without first setting up main net stuff and changing afterwards (titles,
icons etc.)
- also fixes 2 wrong icons shown during testnet usage on our toolbar
