-make is_lagging more meaningful - it is set to true after 90 seconds
with no progress, this is to stop slow but steady catchups from
triggering it
-prevent situation where repeated shutdowns before wallet catchup
results in never receiving first run credits
-fix settings to write new defaults that aren’t already in the
configuration file
-report log of startup sequence if upload_log set to true
-redirect /view?name=lbry to the main UI page. This is to make the ui
accessible from a lbry:// link on linux
-adds is_lagging indicator as a key from daemon_status, which is set to
True during a phase of the startup sequence, presently only during
loading_wallet if catching up with the blockchain takes longer than a
minute.
-checks if connected to internet before trying to start
-calling help() will return the list of functions
-setting the ‘function’ param in the help function will return the doc
string for that function
-setting the ‘callable_on_startup’ in the help function will return the
list of functions callable during the startup sequence
-adds version() function, which can be called after the daemon is
running and returns lbrynet, lbryum, and lbry ui version information.
-daemon_status now returns how far behind its behind the blockchain
when in the loading_wallet phase of startup
-cleans up set_vars by moving to init
-set_settings accepts a dict of settings
-adds upload_log field, defaulting on true, this uploads the lbry
log file to lbry.io to help figure out if and where things aren’t
working
-default_download_directory is the key of the path where files are
saved
-gets publish working with sources
-adds check_first_run function, returns True/False
-previously only is_running would work during startup, check_first_run,
get_time_behind_blockchain, and stop have been added
-requires six 1.9, 1.10.0 produced errors
-Use localhost:5279/view?name=wonderfullife to download and render a
file
-is_running is now the only function that will work during startup
-functions output json, rather than json in your json
Adds automatic updates to lbrynet-daemon, this will check if the
installed versions of LBRY applications as well as the lbrynet python
installation are up to date. If they aren’t, it downloads the new
versions, installs them, and restarts the daemon.
-Add optional content_license to name claim
-Get a better cost estimate, if the sd blob takes longer than 5 seconds
to download just use the key fee
-Adds the free speech flag as the default thumbnail if none is provided
Use
lbrynet.lbryfilemanager.LBRYFileDownloader.ManagedLBRYFileDownloaderFact
ory instead of
lbrynet.lbryfile.client.LBRYFileDownloader.LBRYFileSaverFactory
Adds a daemon for lbrynet. Currently commands are limited the following:
download_name(name)
resolve_name(name)
get_downloads
stop
This allows other programs to easily interact with lbrynet, such as
LBRYURIHandler. LBRYURIHandler can be built with py2app, the resulting
plist file must be edited in the same way the committed plist file has
been edited. When built and installed to the /Applications folder
lbry:// domain names will download and open the corresponding file so
long as the daemon is running.
