This updates the replies for rescan and tx notifications with
additional information that is needed for wallet to properly support
the listtransactions command.
While here, drastically improve rescan performance by not looking up
every sha in rescan's block range.
This commit modifies btcd to run cleanly as a Windows service. btcd is
intended to be a long running process that stays synchronized with the
bitcoin block chain and provides chain services to multiple users. It
follows that a service is the best option on Windows for this
functionality.
A few key points are:
- Supports graceful shutdown via the service stop/shutdown commands
- Integrates cleanly with the Windows event log
- Adds a new /s flag that can be used to install/remove/start/stop the
service
One outstanding issue is that the application data directory is currently
user specific which means, by default, if you start btcd as a user, the
same data won't be used as when it's running as a service. This needs to
be resovled. The most likely approach will be to put all data into the
common appdata directory Windows provides, but it will require some
additional work to deal with permissions properly as user processes can't
write there by default.
Closes#42.
This commit modifies the logging to also log all output to a rolling log
file in the btcd home directory under the logs folder. It uses a maximum
size of 10MB per log file and a max rotation size of 3. This means the
log files will not exceed 30 megabytes.
The code was previously only changing the logging level if it wasn't the
default which is accurate for setting the log level once at startup time,
but it needs to set it unconditionally to allow dynamic updates.
Also, make every subsystem within btcd use its own logger instance so each
subsystem can have its own level specified independent of the others.
This is work towards #48.
Outbound we already have the exact same thing set up, and this should
quieten the race detector. Please note that this does *not* cause
problems with the service flags being wrong. Since by this point we have
already done every thing that would use the service flags from p.na in
addrmanager, and now p.Services is correct..
This commit adds version information to btcctl. The plan is to keep
it in lock step with the btcd version. It also updates the release script
so the version file is updated automatically with the btcd one.
This commit improves the configuration for btcctl in several ways:
- Add the ability to specify a config file
- Add a default entry to the rpc cert to point to the location
it will likely be in the btcd home directory
- Move the config bits into a separate file for easier maintenance
