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.
Since we're now properly linking against static plugins for qt binaries,
we need to ensure that they're Imported properly.
Without these Imports, the linker drops some of the unused linked libs, causing
undefined symbols in QtCore.
At least Debian/Ubuntu use 'qtchooser' for switching between qt4/qt5 binaries.
It is a wrapper for all qt tools, and calls the named tool of the default
version unless overridden by the -qt= option or QT_SELECT environment variable.
QT_SELECT is set by configure once the qt version has been chosen.
Take for example, moc.
$ which moc
/usr/bin/moc
$ ls -go /usr/bin/moc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 9 Jul 3 21:33 /usr/bin/moc -> qtchooser
$ qtchooser -print-env
QT_SELECT="default"
QTTOOLDIR="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin"
QTLIBDIR="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"
$ QT_SELECT=qt5 qtchooser -print-env
QT_SELECT="qt5"
QTTOOLDIR="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin"
QTLIBDIR="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"
$ moc -v
Qt Meta Object Compiler version 63 (Qt 4.8.4)
$ QT_SELECT=qt5 moc -v
Qt Meta Object Compiler version 67 (Qt 5.0.1)
This should be harmless elsewhere.
- remove unused and unmentioned file notsynced.png (we use an animation
for this)
- add missing coincontroldialog.ui to bitcoin-qt.pro
- also unify formating in assets-attribution.md
Update current translations, and add new languages:
- es_MX: Spanish (Mexico)
- pam: Kapampangan
Also update translation process for autoconf-based build system.
- add new options for database cache and script verification threads
- add label which displays options that are overridden by command-line
parameters
- proxy settings are not applied on-the-fly anymore and require a client
restart (ApplyProxySettings() was removed and was not working very well
anyway)
- re-work options reset and require a client shutdown (as it is much
easier to do it this way without having to mess with what can be changed
on-the-fly and what needs a restart anyway)
- options reset now writes default values for every single option
- when changing an option which requires a client restart display a 10
second warning message in statusLabel (via a QTimer)
- when applying the changes via ok change that to a persistent message,
which is displayed even after closing optionsdialog and re-open it, when
no client restart was made
- remove dialog boxes used when changing language or proxy settings
- add setRestartRequired() and isRestartRequired() to OptionsModel and
use the set function when updating options to signal OptionsDialog
when a restart is needed
- resize optionsdialog a little and add some min sizes for certain GUI
elements
- remove apply button from optionsdialog
- save and restore optionsdialog window position
- update nTransactionFee in QSettings with a set -paytxfee value when
opening optionsdialog (I'm not sure about this yet, perhaps revert to
not updating QSettings and just display current -paytxfee value in
optionsdialog.)
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.
Pressing <tab> after entering a label now brings the focus to the
address entry, instead of the row of buttons. In my experience this
is more useful, as I usually want to paste an address after
entering the label.
The buttons are mostly useless anyway:
- Choosing a previously used address should be discouraged
- When I'm already using the keyboard the 'paste address' button is
useless - just use the Ctrl-V. Maybe it would be an idea to remove it
completely
- I usually don't want to remove the entry I'm typing now! So makes
sense to have it at the end of the tab chain.
Unit tests for uint256.h. The file uint160_tests.cpp is no longer
needed. The ad-hoc tests which were in uint256.h are also no longer
needed. The new tests achieve 100% coverage.
The function Get64(.) has a bug in case the width is not divisible by 64.
Since it is only ever used as Get64(0) this simply changes it to this
special case. Additionally, an assert is added, and a cast to prevent
a compiler error.
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
- re-work change address handling so that default is CNoDestination(),
until a verified and known change address was entered (easier code flow)
- add a missing NULL pointer check for adresstablemodel
- add a missing text when opening coin control address selection for
priority and ensure the label is black
- add a missing . at the end of a sentence
When a InitError or InitWarning happens, the
GUI pops up but is unusable (until Init finishes).
This is caused by showNormalIfMinimized. Add a message
flag to skip this call for Init errors or warnings.
The current transaction loading code is not exception safe.
An exception during deserialization causes an empty transaction
to be left behind in the wallet.
Fix this by building the transaction separately and adding
it only to the wallet at the end.
Fixes#3333.
Seperate out the wallet options in HelpMessage, and
don't show them if compiled with --disable-wallet.
Also add documentation for `-disablewallet` option.
