Generally useless information. Only updates on connect time, not after
that. Peers can easily lie and the median filter is not effective in
preventing that.
In the past it was used for progress display in the GUI but
`CheckPoints::guessVerificationProgress` provides a better way that is now used.
It was too easy to mislead it. Peers do lie about it in practice, see issue #4065.
From the RPC, `getpeerinfo` gives the peer raw values, which are more
useful.
Last update (48be9ce) missed quite a lot, for some reason.
This is also the first update done with the new script
`contrib/devtools/update-translations.py`
- In wallet and GUI code LOCK cs_main as well as cs_wallet when
necessary
- In main.cpp SendMessages move the TRY_LOCK(cs_main) up, to encompass the call
to IsInitialBlockDownload.
- Make ActivateBestChain, AddToBlockIndex, IsInitialBlockDownload,
InitBlockIndex acquire the cs_main lock
Fixes#3997
All functions that use ChainActive but do not aquire the cs_main
lock themselves, need to be called with the cs_main lock held.
This commit adds assertions to all externally callable functions
that use chainActive or chainMostWork.
This will flag usages when built with -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER.
- prevents unsafe shutdowns on Windows, which is known to be
able to cause problems with wallet.dat
- if a users ends a Windows session, this will initiate a client shutdown
and show a Windows dialog, that tells the user what is going on (for
Windows Vista and higher it will even show a reason for blocking the
Windows session end)
- introduce DEFAULT_SCRIPTCHECK_THREADS in main.h
- only show values from -"MAX_HW_THREADS" up to 16 for -par, as it
makes no sense to try to leave more "cores free" than the system
supports anyway
- use the new constant in optionsdialog and remove defaults from
.ui file
Re-submitting this pull request with a single commit.
This patch introduces a GUIUtil class that is used when setting up the 2 tables we have so far on the Qt-GUI.
In the past you could only resize the last column, which has BTC amounts from the right border of the column header, something that was rather unnatural.
If a new table were ever to be added to the interface, fixing the last columns resizing behavior is rather simple. Just look at how we initialize here a TableViewLastColumnResizingFixer object when setting up the table header's behavior, and then how we override the resize event of the component (can be the table, or the dialog) and we invoke columnResizingFixer->stretchColumnWidth(columnIndex);
Autotools defaults to a depth-first recursion which causes the qt tests
to be built before the executables and libraries.
This is inconvenient as make needs to be called twice to make sure the
tests are up to date after changing a source file.
Update the Makefile.am to change this order.
Currently only the name of the option is shown for GUI options
overridden by command line (or configuration file). This commit
adds the value of the options as well, which is useful for
troubleshooting.
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.
Last Transifex pull (064a690) introduced a few control characters
into the Korean translation, which sometimes causes the build to fail.
Manually remove these characters for now to get the build working --
they should still be removed at Transifex too.
After the Qt5 switch, status icons were being cut off by 1-2px.
Also fixes some other cases where the UI is slightly off mentioned in #3800.
Fixes#3800.
These days we regard transactions with one confirmation to be
'Confirmed'.
Waiting for 6 confirmations is a recommendation but should not
keep the transaction shown as unconfirmed.
Misc code sanity:
- Merge maturity/status enums, they had become completely disjunct
- 'confirmed' flag is now called 'countsForBalance' for clarity
