This changes the default CA filename from 'cert.pem' to 'btcd.cert' to
reflect the fact that this cert is used for securely connecting to
btcd. With the introduction of autogenerated btcwallet certs (saved
to rpc.cert and rpc.key) this change was made to better differentiate
the two cert files.
To upgrade across this change, simply move the btcd cert. On unix,
use the command:
$ mv ~/.btcwallet/cert.pem ~/.btcwallet/btcd.cert
This adds an additional config option, -cafile, to specify the root
certificates checked when verifying a btcd TLC connection. btcd will
now automatically generate certs in
~/.btcd/data/{main,test}net/rpc.cert, and this file should be copied
to ~/.btcwallet/cert.pem.
The -btcdport option is also gone now, and replaced with -connect (or
-c), to specify both the hostname/ip and port of the server running
btcd.
This change copies the behavior of btcd for using seelog for logging,
including making timestamps human readable, and setting the default
logging level to info.
Fixes#8.
This copies the functionality of btcd for choosing the ports for the
HTTP client (for btcd) and server (for frontends). On testnet, the
following ports are used as default:
- btcd: 18334
- frontends: 18332
When running with the (currently disabled) --mainnet flag, btcwallet
will choose the following ports by default:
- btcd: 8334
- frontends: 8332
Both ports can be overridden no matter the chosen network using the -b
and -p flags.
Use on mainnet is not recommended until extensive testing has been
done, and should be done at your own risk. Run btcwallet with
--mainnet to operate on main Bitcoin network.
This is a big change that also many general fixes to problems found
when creating transactions. In particular the Utxo and Tx formats and
serialization functions were updated with additional information that
would be necessary for rolling back old utxo and tx data data after
btcd chain switches. This change also implements the json methods
'sendfrom' and 'sendmany' to create a new transaction based on a
frontend request.
Transactions are currently not sent to btcd since the tx relay code is
not finished yet, so a temporary error is returned back to frontends
who try to send new transactions.
