It was pointed out in #76 that if you arrived to the Update section
of the README without seeing the Installation section, the requirement for
Go 1.2 is easy to miss. This commit builds the requirement in the
Installation section and adds it to the Updating section as well to
hopefully make it more noticable.
The addblock utility was originally written as a quick debug tool during
initial development to populate blocks into the database. However, now
that it has been designated as the standard way to import bootstrap.dat
(and indeed block data files in general), it was lacking a few features
such as properly checking against the chain rules and known good
checkpoints.
This commit reworks and improves the utility in several ways:
- Imported blocks are now checked against the chain rules including
checkpoints to ensure they match the known good chain
- The utility now properly shuts down after processing all blocks
- Attempting to import orphan blocks (blocks which build off a block you
don't yet have in the database) returns an error
- Blocks that are already known are now skipped instead of causing an
error which means you can stop and restart the import mid-way through
without issues or start it after you've already downloaded a
portion of the chain
- The block height is no longer assumed to start at 0 which means input
files that start later in the chain will work properly so long as you
already have the chain at least up to the point of the block just before
the first one in the input file
- Improved error handling and reporting
- How often the progress display is shown is now configurable
- Statistics about how many blocks were processed, imported, and already
known are now displayed after the input file has been fully processed
This resolves comments made in #60.
The warning about a missing config file should only be shown after all
other configuration has succeeded so it's not shown when there are invalid
options specified. Also add a comment about it where its intended
placement is for the future.
This changes the protocol between btcd and btcwallet to follow
JSON-RPC specifications sending notifications as requests with an
empty ID.
The notification request context handling has been greatly cleaned up
now that IDs no longer need to be saved when sending notifications.
This commit changes a couple of sections which deal with large lists of
inventory vectors to use the new size hint functions recently added to
btcwire. This allows a bit more efficiency since the size of the list is
known up front and we can therefore avoid dynamically growing the backing
array several times. This also helps avoid a Go bug that leaks memory on
appends and GC churn.
This commit adds two new functions named NewMsgGetDataSizeHint and
NewMsgInvSizeHint. These are intended to allow callers which know in
advance how large the inventory lists will grow the ability to provides
that information when creating the message. This in turn provides a
mechanism to avoid the need to perform several grow operations of the
backing array when adding large number of inventory vectors.
This commit changes all code which deals with extracting addresses from
scripts to use the btcscript API ExtractPkScriptAddrs which in turn makes
use of the new btcutil.Address interface.
This provides much cleaner code for dealing with arbitrary script
destinations which is extensible without having to churn the APIs if new
destination types are added.
This commit significantly changes the address extraction code. The
original code was written before some of the other newer code was written
and as a result essentially duplicated some of the logic for handling
standard scripts which is used elsewhere in the package.
The following is a summary of what has changed:
- CalcPkScriptAddrHashes, ScriptToAddrHash, and ScriptToAddrHashes have
been replaced by ExtractPkScriptAddresses
- The ScriptType type has been removed in favor of the existing
ScriptClass type
- The new function returns a slice of btcutil.Addresses instead of raw
hashes that the caller then needs to figure out what to do with to
convert them to proper addressses
- The new function makes use of the existing ScriptClass instead of an
nearly duplicate ScriptType
- The new function hooks into the existing infrastructure for parsing
scripts and identifying scripts of standard forms
- The new function only works with pkscripts to match the behavior of the
reference implementation - do note that the redeeming script from a p2sh
script is still considered a pkscript
- The logic combines extraction for all script types instead of using a
separate function for multi-signature transactions
- The new function ignores addresses which are invalid for some reason
such as invalid public keys
This implements --onion (and --onionuser/--onionpass) that enable a
different proxy to be used to connect to .onion addresses. If no main
proxy is supplied then no proxy will be used for non-onion addresses.
Additionally we add --noonion that blocks connection attempts to .onion
addresses entirely (and avoids using tor for proxy dns lookups).
the --tor option has been supersceded and thus removed.
Closes#47
