Updated the rpcserver handler for validateaddress JSON-RPC command to
have parity with the bitcoind 0.20.0 interface.
The new fields included are - isscript, iswitness, witness_version, and
witness_program. The scriptPubKey field has been left out since it
requires wallet access.
This update has no impact on the rpcclient.ValidateAddress method,
which uses the btcjson.ValidateAddressWalletResult type for modelling
the response from bitcoind.
This change makes btcd's getblock command match bitcoind's. Previously
the default verbosity was 0, which caused errors when using the
rpcclient library to connect to a bitcoind node - getblock would
unmarshall incorrectly since it didn't expect a verbosity=1 result when
it did not specify verbosity.
Version 0.15.0 of Bitcoin Core will include a new RPC command that will
allow us to obtain the amount of time (in seconds) that the server has
been running.
rpcserver:
If the locktime is given, the transaction inputs will be set to a
non-max value, activating the locktime. The locktime for the
new transaction will be set to the given value.
This mimics Bitcoin Core commit 212bcca92089f406d9313dbe6d0e1d25143d61ff
Create GenerateCmd in btcjson v2. Update tests to check GenerateCmd.
Update chaincfg/params.go with a new bool in Params, GenerateSupported,
with true values in SimNetParams and RegressionNetParams and false in
the others.
Create new flag, discreteMining, in CPUMiner struct.
Add GenerateNBlocks function to cpuminer.go and handleGenerate
function to rpcserver.go.
Update documentation for the RPC calls.
* Gives node operators full control of peer connectivity
* RPC adds ability to disconnect all matching non-persistent peers,
remove persistent peers, and connect to peers making them either
temporary or persistent.
This commit converts the RPC server over to use the new features available
in the latest version of btcjson and improve a few things along the way.
This following summarizes the changes:
- All btcjson imports have been updated to the latest package version
- The help has been significantly improved
- Invoking help with no command specified now provides an alphabetized
list of all supported commands along with one-line usage
- The help for each command is automatically generated and provides much
more explicit information such as the type of each parameter, whether
or not it's optional or required, etc
- The websocket-specific commands are now provided when accessing the
help when connected via websockets
- Help has been added for all websocket-specific commands and is only
accessible when connected via websockets
- The error returns and handling of both the standard and websocket
handlers has been made consistent
- All RPC errors have been converted to the new RPCError type
- Various variables have been renamed for consistency
- Several RPC errors have been improved
- The commands that are marked as unimplemented have been moved into the
separate map where they belong
- Several comments have been improved
- An unnecessary check has been removed from the createrawtransaction
handler
- The command parsing has been restructured a bit to pave the way for
JSON-RPC 2.0 batching support
