This commit removes the dependency of serialize.h on PROTOCOL_VERSION,
and makes this parameter required instead of implicit. This is much saner,
as it makes the places where changing a version number can have an
influence obvious.
Since auto-remove-db-logs was enabled, each time a CTxDB was closed
outside of the initial download window, it causes a checkpoint + log
cleanup. This is overkill, so reduce the sync frequency to once per
minute at most.
Where possible, use boost::filesystem::path instead of std::string or
char* for filenames. This avoids a lot of manual string tinkering, in
favor of path::operator/.
GetDataDir is also reworked significantly, it now only keeps two cached
directory names (the network-specific data dir, and the root data dir),
which are decided through a parameter instead of pre-initialized global
variables.
Finally, remove the "upgrade from 0.1.5" case where a debug.log in the
current directory has to be removed.
When a 0.6 wallet with compressed pubkeys is created, it writes a
minversion record to prevent older clients from reading it. If the 0.5
loading it sees a key record before seeing the minversion record however,
it will fail with DB_CORRUPT instead of DB_TOO_NEW.
-checkblocks now takes a numeric argument: the number of blocks that must
be verified at the end of the chain. Default is 2500, and 0 means all
blocks.
-checklevel specifies how thorough the verification must be:
0: only check whether the block exists on disk
1: verify block validity (default)
2: verify transaction index validity
3: check transaction hashes
4: check whether spent txouts were spent within the main chain
5: check whether all prevouts are marked spent
6: check whether spent txouts were spent by a valid transaction that consumes them
Before 0.6 addrProxy was a CAddress, but netbase changed it to CService.
Retain compatibility by wrapping/unwrapping with a CAddress when saving
or loading.
This commit retains compatibility with 0.6.0rc1 (which wrote the setting
as a CService) by trying to parse twice.
Design goals:
* Only keep a limited number of addresses around, so that addr.dat does not grow without bound.
* Keep the address tables in-memory, and occasionally write the table to addr.dat.
* Make sure no (localized) attacker can fill the entire table with his nodes/addresses.
See comments in addrman.h for more detailed information.
- icon from the LGPL Nuvola set (like the tick) - http://www.icon-king.com/projects/nuvola/
- include 'boost/version.hpp' in db.cpp so that the overwrite version of copy can be used
- catch exceptions in BackupWallet (e.g. filesystem_error thrown when trying to overwrite without the overwrite flag set)
- include db.h in walletmodel.cpp for BackupWallet function
- updated doc/assets-attribution.txt and contrib/debian/copyright with copyright info for new icon
This patch enabled compressed pubkeys when -compressedpubkeys is passed.
These are 33 bytes instead of 65, and require only marginally more CPU
power when verifying. Compressed pubkeys have a different corresponding
address, so it is determined at generation. When -compressedpubkeys is
given, all newly generated addresses will use a compressed key, while
older/other addresses keep using normal keys. Unpatched clients will
relay and verify these transactions.
so it takes a flag for how to interpret OP_EVAL.
Also increased IsStandard size of scriptSigs to 500 bytes, so
a 3-of-3 multisig transaction IsStandard.
OP_EVAL is a new opcode that evaluates an item on the stack as a script.
It enables a new type of bitcoin address that needs an arbitrarily
complex script to redeem.
Replaced all occurrences of #if* __WXMSW__ with WIN32,
and all occurrences of __WXMAC_OSX__ with MAC_OSX, and made
sure those are defined appropriately in the makefile and bitcoin-qt.pro.
Makefiles now build bitcoind only.
qmake/make in top-level directory is used to build Bitcoin QT
Deleted almost all #ifdef GUI from the code (left one possibly controversial one)
Deleted xpm/ files.
Collapsed multiple wallet mutexes to a single cs_wallet, to avoid deadlocks with wallet methods that acquired locks in different order.
Also change master RPC call handler to acquire cs_main and cs_wallet locks before executing RPC calls; requiring each RPC call to acquire the right set of locks in the right order was too error-prone.
db.cpp has a number of uses of make_tuple and has 'using namespace
std' and 'using namespace boost'. Without qualifying make_tuple,
std::make_tuple is preferred, which is incorrect. This patch qualifies
make_tuple.
