Remove unnecessary dependencies for bitcoin-cli
(leveldb, berkelydb, wallet, RPC server)
Build system changes:
- split libbitcoin.a into libbitcoin_common.a, libbitcoin_server.a and
libbitcoin_cli.a
Code changes (movement only):
- split up HelpMessage into HelpMessage in init.cpp and HelpMessageCli
in rpcclient.cpp
- move uiInterface from init.cpp to util.cpp
There were quite a few places where assert() was used with side effects,
making operation with NDEBUG non-functional. This commit fixes all the
cases I know about, but also adds an #error on NDEBUG because the code
is untested without assertions and may still have vulnerabilities if
used without assert.
- remove style sheets from ui files and use Qt attributes instead
- make some more strings untranslatable, to make life for translators
easier
- split up long tooltips an rework the texts a little
- remove monospace labels from sendcoinsdialog also
- use a validated line edit for the change address
- add a tooltip to change address switch
- ensure we have a valid change address in
CoinControlDialog::coinControl->destChange or just CNoDestination()
- some small ui file changes
This dead code can be resurrected from git history if
transaction replacement is ever implemented. Keeping
dead code in the source is a bad idea, because it implies
it was tested and worked at some point, which is not true.
The SelectParamsFromCommandLine call was missing in bitcoin-cli,
which caused `-testnet` and `-regtest` to be ignored. Add this
call just like in bitcoind.cpp.
Split bitcoinrpc up into
- rpcserver: bitcoind RPC server
- rpcclient: bitcoin-cli RPC client
- rpcprotocol: shared common HTTP/JSON-RPC protocol code
One step towards making bitcoin-cli independent from the rest
of the code, and thus a smaller executable that doesn't have to
be linked against leveldb.
This commit only does code movement, there are no functional changes.
The last fee drop was by 5x (from 50k satoshis to 10k satoshis)
in the 0.8.2 release which was about 6 months ago.
The current fee is (assuming a $500 exchange rate) about 5 dollar
cents. The new fee after this patch is 0.5 cents.
Miners who prefer the higher fees are obviously still able to
use the command line flags to override this setting. Miners who
choose to create smaller blocks will select the highest-fee paying
transactions anyway.
This would hopefully be the last manual adjustment ever required
before floating fees become normal.
After discussing with BlueMatt, this appears to be harmless in its
current state since it's always set before it's used. Initialize it
anyway for readability and future safety.
- this adds a delete button for insecure and secure payment requests in
the sendcoins dialog
- it also enables the delete button even for single and empty entries, as
this is much easier to handle and doesn't need to special case single
entries
- big parts of the ui file were changed, because I copied the delete
button and had to delete the layout too and created it from scratch
(which seems to cleanup the rows and colums in the layout also, which is
nice IMHO)
I'm writing some wallet regression tests using -regtest mode, and
need to generate an initial multi-hundred-block chain. Repeatedly
calling setgenerate to generate one block is slow and doesn't
work properly, because block creation happens asynchronously.
This adds two features to setgenerate in -regtest mode:
1) Instead of being interpreted as number of threads to start, the
third argument is the number of blocks to generate.
2) setgenerate will not return until the block creation threads
have created the requested number of blocks.
Keep a list of requested payments in the Receive tab so that a user can
recall previously created requests after closing their windows.
Currently this list is not stored between bitcoin-qt sessions. This can
be implemented later, but it is not clear where it should be stored as
I don't think it belongs in the wallet (maybe in QSettings?)
- Fixed cut-and-paste error.
- See http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?7576 for further details.
- Use 'ls -r' rather than non-portable tool 'tac'.
- Simplify filepattern in ls expression so dylib (on OSX) are also detected.
- add missing license headers
- make compatible with Qt5
- enforce header cleanup style
- small code style cleanups
- rename Coin Control dialog into Coin Control Address Selection
- use default font for the windows labels (no monospace)
Make users accustomed to the other subdivision units (mBTC, muBTC)
by showing the total amount in all units in the confirmation dialog.
This was recently raised on the mailing list and could be a preparation
for switching over the default unit eventually.
I was merging change this every time before generation of
the doxygen developer docs (https://dev.visucore.com/bitcoin/doxygen/)
but there's no reason why it can't just be merged upstream.
- remove default value for parent variable in dialogs, which should appear
centered over main GUI and pass appropriate value
- add some addition NULL pointer checks
Adds three new languages:
- de_AT: German (Austria)
- gl: Galician
- sl_SI: Slovenian (Slovenia)
Updates many others.
Thanks to the translators contributing on Transifex!
Based on the proposal, update the help message of rpc methods
- strings arguments are in double quotes rather than square brackets
- numeric arguments have no quotes (and no default value)
- optional parameters are surrounded by round brackets
- json arguments are strings but don't use double quotes
Added 3 sections for the details
- Arguments: lists each argument, it's type, required or not, a default, and a description
- Result: The method result, with json format if applicable, type, and a description
- Examples: examples calls using bitcoin-cli and curl for json rpc call
Problems
- maybe this is too verbose
- lines might be too long
- description are not good or complete
- examples may be too much
