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.
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
ThreadSafeAskFee is effectively unused. It is only called
when the fAskFee parameter on SendMoney or SendMoneyToDestination
is true, which never happens. Remove it.
Only messages for now, executable names and other file names
can be changed later if necessary and safe.
Do not do an all-sweeping change. Some occurences of Bitcoin-Qt need to
be kept:
- Applicationname: this is used to determine the registry entry names,
we don't want to lose settings over a silly name change.
- Where it refers to the executable name instead of the product name.
- cleanup Info.plist.in and specify high DPI mode enable command as per
http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/04/25/retina-display-support-for-mac-os-ios-and-x11/
- move setting of QApplication::setAttribute() to bitcoin.cpp and add
attribute for enabling use of high DPI pixmaps for Qt >= 5.1
- add missing setWindowTitle() on Mac
- cleanup Mac / non-Mac setup in bitcoingui.cpp
- remove explicit init of netManager as this is done in the constructor
anyway
- move initNetManager() call to uiReady(), which removes an assert() and
allows us to use message() in initNetManager() (currently unused but
could be necessary because of proxy related messages)
- make initNetManager() private
- update paymentservertests.cpp
Use misc methods of avoiding unnecesary header includes.
Replace int typedefs with int##_t from stdint.h.
Replace PRI64[xdu] with PRI[xdu]64 from inttypes.h.
Normalize QT_VERSION ifs where possible.
Resolve some indirect dependencies as direct ones.
Remove extern declarations from .cpp files.
- add new slot handlePaymentACK() to paymentserver, which handles
paymentACK messages (currently we just display them)
- make paymentACK message a modal information dialog
- change some QObject::tr() to just tr()
- clarify the processPaymentRequest() error, when IsDust()
- small string change to prevent a tripple + usage with QString
- rename reportError() into message() to be in line with our default
message() signal/slot naming (and can be used for all types of messages)
- rename some QStrings to not collide with message() function
- add a missing message for malformed URIs that IS also used in BitcoinGUI
- fix / extend some comments and misc style fixes
- make BitcoinGUI::showPaymentACK() use a reference for msg and use our
own GUIUtil::HtmlEscape() function
- ensure QTimer usage in clientmodel is the same as in walletmodel
- remove an unneeded debug message in walletframe
- flag some parameters as unused in DebugMessageHandler()
- small code formatting changes
- prepend "Bitcoin-Qt" in front of debug.log entries, which come from Qt
- move DebugMessageHandler installation upwards to the event handler
installation, which fits much better
- extend PaymentServer with setOptionsModel() and rework initNetManager()
to make use of that
- fix all other places in the code to use display unit from options and no
hard-coded unit
Add support for a Payment Protocol to Bitcoin-Qt.
Payment messages are protocol-buffer encoded and communicated over
http(s), so this adds a dependency on the Google protocol buffer
library, and requires Qt with OpenSSL support.
- move SelectParamsFromCommandLine() from init.cpp to bitcoin.cpp to allow
to use TestNet() for Bitcoin-Qt instead of GetBoolArg("-testnet", false)
- change order in bitcoind.cpp to match bitcoin.cpp functionality
- hamonize error message strings for missing datadir and failing
SelectParamsFromCommandLine() in bitcoin.cpp and bitcoind.cpp
- use TestNet() call in splashscreen.cpp
This adds an introduction screen that is shown when the client is first
started in which the user can choose a data directory.
It is also possible to force the intro screen to appear using command
line argument `-choosedatadir`.
The user is warned that the client will download and store 10Gb of data.
The intro screen shows how much space is available on the device that
contains the chosen directory and warns if this is less than the 10Gb.
To make it possible to translate the introduction dialog, the initialization
sequence is changed so that translations are
loaded before the data directory. This has the by-effect that it is
no longer possible to specify a language in bitcoin.conf inside the data
directory.
- this directly sets up all GUI elements that have testnet special-casing
without first setting up main net stuff and changing afterwards (titles,
icons etc.)
- also fixes 2 wrong icons shown during testnet usage on our toolbar
- explicitly set the default of all GetBoolArg() calls
- rework getarg_test.cpp and util_tests.cpp to cover this change
- some indentation fixes
- move macdockiconhandler.h include in bitcoin.cpp to the "our headers"
section
This commit squashes all the changes in the Qt5 branch
relative to master.
Backward compatibility with Qt4 is retained.

A green testnet splashscreen with a normal, orange dock icon looks strange and can confuse users.

Bitcoin-Qt could core dump if application initialization failed in certain ways.
I double-fixed this:
1) qt/bitcoin.cpp now shuts down core threads cleanly if AppInit2 returns false
2) init.cpp now exits before StartNode() if strErrors is set (no reason to StartNode if we're just going to exit immediately anyway).
Tested by triggering all of the various ways AppInit2 can fail, either by passing bogus command-line arguments or just recompiling tweaked code to simulate failure.
This is a partial fix for #2480
why:
- the current splash-screen has no referring to official images on - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Promotional_graphics
- the current splash screen only exists in a low res jpg
- current splash screen looks dark and "hackish"
- new splash screen should generate positive, "trust-emotions".
- new splash screen gives the user infos about the running client.
- new splash screen can handle long messages (in a lot of - languages the text is cropped in current release)
- new size (x2) 400x312
- contains textual information about the client
- textinfos are dynamicly written to the pixmap
when -testnet is switch on, the splashscreen will show the bitcoin logo in testnet-color (as well as a text [testnet])
example: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7383846/new_bitcoin_splash.png
Create a boost::thread_group object at the qt/bitcoind main-loop level
that will hold pointers to all the main-loop threads.
This will replace the vnThreadsRunning[] array.
For testing, ported the BitcoinMiner threads to use its
own boost::thread_group.
- try to enforce the same style to all Qt related files
- remove unneeded includes from the files
- add missing Q_OBJECT, QT_BEGIN_NAMESPACE / QT_END_NAMESPACE
- prepares for a pull-req to include Qt5 compatibility
Switch to using Qt's QLocalServer/QLocalSocket to handle bitcoin
payment links (bitcoin:... URIs)
Reason for switch: the boost::interprocess mechanism seemed flaky,
and doesn't mesh as well with "The Qt Way"
qtipcserver.cpp/h is replaced by paymentserver.cpp/h
Click-to-pay now also works on OSX, with a custom Info.plist
that registers Bitcoin-Qt as a handler for bitcoin: URLs and
an event listener on the main QApplication that handles
QFileOpenEvents (Qt translates 'url clicked' AppleEvents into
QFileOpenEvents automagically).
