Adding in response to a Slack discussion where someone was unclear on the fact
that a NACK may be justified if code can't be accepted due to copyright/patent
issues. For example, it would be reasonable and prudent to NACK a contribution
of AGPL-licensed consensus code on the basis that the license terms are
incompatible with the MIT license used by the rest of the codebase.
27acfc1 [qa] Update p2p-compactblocks.py for compactblocks v2 (Suhas Daftuar)
422fac6 [qa] Add support for compactblocks v2 to mininode (Suhas Daftuar)
f5b9b8f [qa] Fix bug in mininode witness deserialization (Suhas Daftuar)
6aa28ab Use cmpctblock type 2 for segwit-enabled transfer (Pieter Wuille)
be7555f Fix overly-prescriptive p2p-segwit test for new fetch logic (Matt Corallo)
06128da Make GetFetchFlags always request witness objects from witness peers (Matt Corallo)
This concretizes the numbers and adds a comment to make it clear that
these numbers are fixed by the protocol, and may avoid people forgetting
to claim numbers in the future (e.g. issue #8500).
Also gets rid of a weird unused `MSG_TYPE_MAX` in the middle of the
enumeration (thanks @paveljanik for noticing).
sync_with_ping() only guarantees that the node has processed messages
it's received from the peer, not that block announcements from the node have
made it back to the peer. Replace sync_with_ping() with an explicit check that
the node's tip has been announced.
This adds a new CValidationInterface subclass, defined in main.h,
to receive notifications of UpdatedBlockTip and use that to push
blocks to peers, instead of doing it directly from
ActivateBestChain.
In anticipation of making all the callbacks out of block processing
flow through it. Note that vHashes will always have something in it
since pindexFork != pindexNewTip.
This fixes a bug where we might (in exceedingly rare circumstances)
accidentally ban a node for sending us the first (potentially few)
segwit blocks in non-segwit mode.
* Minor formatting such as adjusting links
* Move sections of `doc/multiwallet-qt.md` to the source code and delete
the file, as it is outdated
* Fix typo in the release notes
* Amend release process to mention update of BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE
