At least Debian/Ubuntu use 'qtchooser' for switching between qt4/qt5 binaries.
It is a wrapper for all qt tools, and calls the named tool of the default
version unless overridden by the -qt= option or QT_SELECT environment variable.
QT_SELECT is set by configure once the qt version has been chosen.
Take for example, moc.
$ which moc
/usr/bin/moc
$ ls -go /usr/bin/moc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 9 Jul 3 21:33 /usr/bin/moc -> qtchooser
$ qtchooser -print-env
QT_SELECT="default"
QTTOOLDIR="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin"
QTLIBDIR="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"
$ QT_SELECT=qt5 qtchooser -print-env
QT_SELECT="qt5"
QTTOOLDIR="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin"
QTLIBDIR="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"
$ moc -v
Qt Meta Object Compiler version 63 (Qt 4.8.4)
$ QT_SELECT=qt5 moc -v
Qt Meta Object Compiler version 67 (Qt 5.0.1)
This should be harmless elsewhere.
- remove unused and unmentioned file notsynced.png (we use an animation
for this)
- add missing coincontroldialog.ui to bitcoin-qt.pro
- also unify formating in assets-attribution.md
Update current translations, and add new languages:
- es_MX: Spanish (Mexico)
- pam: Kapampangan
Also update translation process for autoconf-based build system.
- add new options for database cache and script verification threads
- add label which displays options that are overridden by command-line
parameters
- proxy settings are not applied on-the-fly anymore and require a client
restart (ApplyProxySettings() was removed and was not working very well
anyway)
- re-work options reset and require a client shutdown (as it is much
easier to do it this way without having to mess with what can be changed
on-the-fly and what needs a restart anyway)
- options reset now writes default values for every single option
- when changing an option which requires a client restart display a 10
second warning message in statusLabel (via a QTimer)
- when applying the changes via ok change that to a persistent message,
which is displayed even after closing optionsdialog and re-open it, when
no client restart was made
- remove dialog boxes used when changing language or proxy settings
- add setRestartRequired() and isRestartRequired() to OptionsModel and
use the set function when updating options to signal OptionsDialog
when a restart is needed
- resize optionsdialog a little and add some min sizes for certain GUI
elements
- remove apply button from optionsdialog
- save and restore optionsdialog window position
- update nTransactionFee in QSettings with a set -paytxfee value when
opening optionsdialog (I'm not sure about this yet, perhaps revert to
not updating QSettings and just display current -paytxfee value in
optionsdialog.)
Fixes at least #3478.
Splits and documents the phases:
1. Parse command-line options. These take precedence over anything else.
2. Basic Qt initialization (not dependent on parameters or configuration)
3. Application identification
4. Initialization of translations
5. Now that settings and translations are available, ask user for data directory
6. Determine availability of data directory and parse bitcoin.conf
7. URI IPC sending
8. Main GUI initialization
Splits command line parsing logic from ipcSendCommandLine into
ipcParseCommandLine, as isTestNet() can only be overridden in the early
stages before choosing a data directory. Sending however needs to happen
after choosing a data directory.
Pressing <tab> after entering a label now brings the focus to the
address entry, instead of the row of buttons. In my experience this
is more useful, as I usually want to paste an address after
entering the label.
The buttons are mostly useless anyway:
- Choosing a previously used address should be discouraged
- When I'm already using the keyboard the 'paste address' button is
useless - just use the Ctrl-V. Maybe it would be an idea to remove it
completely
- I usually don't want to remove the entry I'm typing now! So makes
sense to have it at the end of the tab chain.
Allow running bitcoind without server.
- Default to -server mode (of course) for bitcoind with SoftSetBoolArg
- Remove fForceServer argument from AppInit2
- Move fDaemon to a static variable in bitcoind
- re-work change address handling so that default is CNoDestination(),
until a verified and known change address was entered (easier code flow)
- add a missing NULL pointer check for adresstablemodel
- add a missing text when opening coin control address selection for
priority and ensure the label is black
- add a missing . at the end of a sentence

ca2c83d Remove unused ThreadSafeAskFee from ui_interface (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
37e67d3 Remove unused ThreadSafeHandleURI from ui_interface (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
When a InitError or InitWarning happens, the
GUI pops up but is unusable (until Init finishes).
This is caused by showNormalIfMinimized. Add a message
flag to skip this call for Init errors or warnings.
ThreadSafeAskFee is effectively unused. It is only called
when the fAskFee parameter on SendMoney or SendMoneyToDestination
is true, which never happens. Remove it.
Only messages for now, executable names and other file names
can be changed later if necessary and safe.
Do not do an all-sweeping change. Some occurences of Bitcoin-Qt need to
be kept:
- Applicationname: this is used to determine the registry entry names,
we don't want to lose settings over a silly name change.
- Where it refers to the executable name instead of the product name.
- cleanup Info.plist.in and specify high DPI mode enable command as per
http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/04/25/retina-display-support-for-mac-os-ios-and-x11/
- move setting of QApplication::setAttribute() to bitcoin.cpp and add
attribute for enabling use of high DPI pixmaps for Qt >= 5.1
- add missing setWindowTitle() on Mac
- cleanup Mac / non-Mac setup in bitcoingui.cpp

- make eventFilter() private and pass events on to QObject::eventFilter()
instead of just returning false
- re-work paymentservertest.cpp to correctly handle the event test
after the above change (rewrite test_main to allow usage of
QCoreApplication:: in the tests)
- delete socket when we were unable to connect in ipcSendCommandLine()
- show a message to the user if we fail to start-up (instead of just a
debug.log entry)
- misc small comment changes
Use deleteLater() instead of delete, as it is not allowed
to delete widgets directly in an event handler.
Should solve the MacOSX random crashes on send with coincontrol.
Remove unnecessary dependencies for bitcoin-cli
(leveldb, berkelydb, wallet, RPC server)
Build system changes:
- split libbitcoin.a into libbitcoin_common.a, libbitcoin_server.a and
libbitcoin_cli.a
Code changes (movement only):
- split up HelpMessage into HelpMessage in init.cpp and HelpMessageCli
in rpcclient.cpp
- move uiInterface from init.cpp to util.cpp
- remove style sheets from ui files and use Qt attributes instead
- make some more strings untranslatable, to make life for translators
easier
- split up long tooltips an rework the texts a little
- remove monospace labels from sendcoinsdialog also
- use a validated line edit for the change address
- add a tooltip to change address switch
- ensure we have a valid change address in
CoinControlDialog::coinControl->destChange or just CNoDestination()
- some small ui file changes
Split bitcoinrpc up into
- rpcserver: bitcoind RPC server
- rpcclient: bitcoin-cli RPC client
- rpcprotocol: shared common HTTP/JSON-RPC protocol code
One step towards making bitcoin-cli independent from the rest
of the code, and thus a smaller executable that doesn't have to
be linked against leveldb.
This commit only does code movement, there are no functional changes.
- this adds a delete button for insecure and secure payment requests in
the sendcoins dialog
- it also enables the delete button even for single and empty entries, as
this is much easier to handle and doesn't need to special case single
entries
- big parts of the ui file were changed, because I copied the delete
button and had to delete the layout too and created it from scratch
(which seems to cleanup the rows and colums in the layout also, which is
nice IMHO)
Keep a list of requested payments in the Receive tab so that a user can
recall previously created requests after closing their windows.
Currently this list is not stored between bitcoin-qt sessions. This can
be implemented later, but it is not clear where it should be stored as
I don't think it belongs in the wallet (maybe in QSettings?)
- add missing license headers
- make compatible with Qt5
- enforce header cleanup style
- small code style cleanups
- rename Coin Control dialog into Coin Control Address Selection
- use default font for the windows labels (no monospace)
Make users accustomed to the other subdivision units (mBTC, muBTC)
by showing the total amount in all units in the confirmation dialog.
This was recently raised on the mailing list and could be a preparation
for switching over the default unit eventually.
- remove default value for parent variable in dialogs, which should appear
centered over main GUI and pass appropriate value
- add some addition NULL pointer checks
Adds three new languages:
- de_AT: German (Austria)
- gl: Galician
- sl_SI: Slovenian (Slovenia)
Updates many others.
Thanks to the translators contributing on Transifex!
- remove explicit init of netManager as this is done in the constructor
anyway
- move initNetManager() call to uiReady(), which removes an assert() and
allows us to use message() in initNetManager() (currently unused but
could be necessary because of proxy related messages)
- make initNetManager() private
- update paymentservertests.cpp
Use misc methods of avoiding unnecesary header includes.
Replace int typedefs with int##_t from stdint.h.
Replace PRI64[xdu] with PRI[xdu]64 from inttypes.h.
Normalize QT_VERSION ifs where possible.
Resolve some indirect dependencies as direct ones.
Remove extern declarations from .cpp files.
- rework window title to not include Bitcoin - in front, as no other
dialog does this
- favor a connect() call over an own function for clearing the traffic
graph
- write monospace lowercase (seems to be correct after some web search)
and add a comment that we should avoid / remove fixed font sizes
395d0d5 rework an ugly hack in processPaymentRequest() (Philip Kaufmann)
952d2cd make processPaymentRequest() use a single SendCoinsRecipient (Philip Kaufmann)
983cef4 payment-request UI: use SendCoinsRecipient.message for memo (Philip Kaufmann)
c6c97e0 [Qt] Rework of payment request UI (mainly for insecure pr) (Philip Kaufmann)
- this shows insecure (unsecured) payment requests in a new yellowish
colored UI (based on the secure payment request UI) instead of our
normal payment UI
- allows us to receive paymentACK messages for insecure payment requests
- allows us to handle expirations for insecure payment request
- changed walletmodel, so that all types of payment requests don't touch
the addressbook
- add new processSendCoinsReturn() function, which parses the
status of WalletModel::SendCoinsReturn and generates a pair consisting
of a message and message flags
- result is we only need one emit message() call
- this change ensures that the GUI is shown for warnings/errors in
sendcoinsdialog, because of message() taking care of that for modal
messages
- changes 2 warning message into error messages and removed "Error:"
in front of the actual error message string
- re-work -debug help message text
- make -debug log every debugging information again (even all categories)
- remove unneeded fDebug checks in front of LogPrint()/qDebug(), as that
check is done in LogPrintf() when category is != NULL (true for all
LogPrint() calls
- remove fDebug ONLY in code which is NOT performance-critical
- harmonize addrman category name
- deprecate -debugnet usage, should be used via -debug=net and remove the
corresponding global
Use proper signals everywhere.
Removes the need to store a pointer to the BitcoinGUI object in
the walletview.
Also removes the interdependence between setWalletModel / setBitcoinGUI.
- remove 2 unneeded windowTitle attributes, which bloat our translations
- cleanup some unneeded .cpp/.h includes and class usages
- use a more generic string for clearing sendcoinsdialog and
requestpaymentdialog
- edit 2 strings in BitcoinGUI and replace "edit" with "show" as this
seems more clear in the context where it is used
This required some code movement (what was CWalletTx::AcceptToMemoryPool
doing in main?), and adding a few explicit includes that used to be
implicit through init.h.
They're supposed to be children of the walletview, and are added with
addWidget later on.
Inconsequential change because the object passed was already 0.
- changes some strings that were forgotton or made no sense in the conext
they are used
- remove an orphan file from the qt project file
- revert a small change in signverifymessagedialog.ui
- guard #include "bitcoin-config.h" with #if defined(HAVE_CONFIG_H)
- remove windowTitle from addressbookpage.ui
- this allows us to use emit message() over MessageBox:: or gui->message()
calls in sendcoinsdialog and walletview
- move main handlePaymentRequest() functionality back to BitcoinGUI
- move a showNormalIfMinimized() before gotoSendCoinsPage()
- We no longer have an address book, but "address lists", update message
accordingly
- Add tooltips here and there
- Clarify text on buttons
- add Copy Address button to receive request dialog
- add new slot handlePaymentACK() to paymentserver, which handles
paymentACK messages (currently we just display them)
- make paymentACK message a modal information dialog
- change some QObject::tr() to just tr()
- clarify the processPaymentRequest() error, when IsDust()
- small string change to prevent a tripple + usage with QString
Simplifies the dialog (makes it look less crowded) as well
as the code and makes it possible to copy multiple fields at once.
Also format bitcoin URI as URI, add copy button for URI.
Also update URI parsing to fill in this field.
Note that the message is not currently used in any way with the client.
It should be stored with the transaction.
These no longer make sense in the new workflow. It's less
clicks to reach sign/verify message from the menu. And sending
from the address book is one kind of automatic address reuse
we're trying to avoid.
This adds an executable `bitcoin-rpc` that only serves as a Bitcoin RPC
client.
The commit does not remove RPC functionality from the `bitcoind` yet,
this functionality should be deprecated but is left for a later version
to give users some time to switch.
Selecting the button for a pages was going through bitcoingui->walletframe->walletview->bitcoingui.
Because of this, the actions for the pages had to be exposed on the BitcoinGUI object.
- rename reportError() into message() to be in line with our default
message() signal/slot naming (and can be used for all types of messages)
- rename some QStrings to not collide with message() function
- add a missing message for malformed URIs that IS also used in BitcoinGUI
- fix / extend some comments and misc style fixes
There were too many levels of indirection here, and the functionality of
walletframe and walletstack can easily be merged. This commit
merges the two which cuts a lot of lines of boilerplate code.
- make processPaymentRequest() use our own HTML-escaping function from
GUIUtil
- make string "application/bitcoin-payment" a constant (below similar
constant strings in the .cpp file)
- clear(): clear all UI elements (for secure and insecure payments)
- setValue(): only modify UI elements, which need to be set (for secure
or insecure payments)
- when closing the client with an open debug window, that window could
become stuck/unsuable (it was still shown wherea the main window was
hidden already)
- fix this by hiding the debug window, when quitting the the client
- remove some unneeded translatable strings from sendcoinsentry.ui file and
rename some elements for better readability
- optimize string prorcessing in SendCoinsDialog::on_sendButton_clicked()
- make all UI labels for secure payments plain text and move the settings
to sendcoinsentry.ui file
- remove unneeded button and default button definiton from warning message
boxes
- remove fixed font-size when sending coins to an address with label and
use monospace font for addresses
- make BitcoinGUI::showPaymentACK() use a reference for msg and use our
own GUIUtil::HtmlEscape() function
- ensure QTimer usage in clientmodel is the same as in walletmodel
- remove an unneeded debug message in walletframe
- flag some parameters as unused in DebugMessageHandler()
- small code formatting changes
- ensure message boxes are shown in center of our main window, not
centered on the users desktop
- always prefer user supplied titles for message boxes over the functions
defaults (fixes a bug, where transaction info messages did not contain
information, if it was incoming or outgoing)
- rename URL into URI in paymentserver where correct
- add some missing Qt-coding-stuff in paymentserver
- change QSpinBox to QLineEdit as base for BitcoinAmountField in .ui files
(as this is the result when converting the BAF back into base)
- remove some c_str() and replace with QString::fromStdString()
- remove several new-lines
- remove unneeded spaces
- indentation fixes
- prepend "Bitcoin-Qt" in front of debug.log entries, which come from Qt
- move DebugMessageHandler installation upwards to the event handler
installation, which fits much better
Correctly use the purpose of addresses that are added after the start
of the client. Addresses with purpose "refund" and "change" should not
be visible in the GUI. This is now handled correctly.
- extend PaymentServer with setOptionsModel() and rework initNetManager()
to make use of that
- fix all other places in the code to use display unit from options and no
hard-coded unit
With an encrypted wallet the GUI was prompting for a passphrase every time
the user requested a new address. This is unnecessary, increases the
exposure to keyboard sniffers, and discourages using fresh addresses for
every transaction.
Instead only prompt for a passphrase when the keypool runs out, also call
the new address function with the flag that prevents reuse.
Thanks to AlexNagy on IRC for pointing this out and who wouldn't take any
lip from a curmudgeonly developer and insisted on what he knew to be true.
WalletView:
- add new signal showNormalIfMinimized()
- emit the new signal in handleURI() to fix a bug, preventing the main
window to show up when using bitcoin: URIs
WalletStack:
- connect the showNormalIfMinimized() signal from WalletView with the
showNormalIfMinimized() slot in BitcoinGUI
- rework setCurrentWallet() to return a bool
- add check for valid walletModel in addWallet()
- add missing gui attribute initialisation in constructor
WalletFrame:
- remove unused or unneded class attributes gui and clientModel
- add a check for valid clientModel in setClientModel()
General:
- small code formatting changes
Add support for a Payment Protocol to Bitcoin-Qt.
Payment messages are protocol-buffer encoded and communicated over
http(s), so this adds a dependency on the Google protocol buffer
library, and requires Qt with OpenSSL support.
- move SelectParamsFromCommandLine() from init.cpp to bitcoin.cpp to allow
to use TestNet() for Bitcoin-Qt instead of GetBoolArg("-testnet", false)
- change order in bitcoind.cpp to match bitcoin.cpp functionality
- hamonize error message strings for missing datadir and failing
SelectParamsFromCommandLine() in bitcoin.cpp and bitcoind.cpp
- use TestNet() call in splashscreen.cpp
Straight refactor, so mapAddressBook stores a CAddressBookData
(which just contains a std::string) instead of a std::string.
Preparation for payment protocol work, which will add the notion
of refund addresses to the address book.
Replaces the validation check for "amount == 0" with an isDust check,
so very small output amounts are caught before the wallet
is unlocked, a transaction is created, etc.
- update translation master files
- include current translations from Transifex
- add several new languages
- fix a bug in bitcoin.qrc, which prevents some languages from beeing used
(wrong file extension .ts instead of .qm was used)
- move the code for saving and restoring window positions from BitcoinGUI
to GUIUtil, make it more generic and also use it for saving/restoring
debug window positions
- it was possible to trigger an infinite loop in FreespaceChecker::check() by
simply removing the drive letter on Windows (which leads to an infinite
loop in the FreespaceChecker thread)
- this was caused by not checking if we make progress with
parentDir.parent_path()
use std::string instead of psz for WalletFile
only allow wallets within $DATADIR
Use strWalletFile in salvage/recover
fix: remove unused variable pszWalletFile
move strWalletFile to init.h/init.cpp
avoid conversion of strWalletfile to c-string
The new class is accessed via the Params() method and holds
most things that vary between main, test and regtest networks.
The regtest mode has two purposes, one is to run the
bitcoind/bitcoinj comparison tool which compares two separate
implementations of the Bitcoin protocol looking for divergence.
The other is that when run, you get a local node which can mine
a single block instantly, which is highly convenient for testing
apps during development as there's no need to wait 10 minutes for
a block on the testnet.
This adds an introduction screen that is shown when the client is first
started in which the user can choose a data directory.
It is also possible to force the intro screen to appear using command
line argument `-choosedatadir`.
The user is warned that the client will download and store 10Gb of data.
The intro screen shows how much space is available on the device that
contains the chosen directory and warns if this is less than the 10Gb.
To make it possible to translate the introduction dialog, the initialization
sequence is changed so that translations are
loaded before the data directory. This has the by-effect that it is
no longer possible to specify a language in bitcoin.conf inside the data
directory.
- adds a reindex dialog for Bitcoin-Qt to change -txindex without the need
to supply -reindex
- now also does a -reindex, when removing the -txindex switch
Removed AreInputsStandard from CTransaction, made it a regular function in main.
Moved CTransaction::GetOutputFor to CCoinsViewCache.
Moved GetLegacySigOpCount and GetP2SHSigOpCount out of CTransaction into regular functions in main.
Moved GetValueIn and HaveInputs from CTransaction into CCoinsViewCache.
Moved AllowFree, ClientCheckInputs, CheckInputs, UpdateCoins, and CheckTransaction out of CTransaction and into main.
Moved IsStandard and IsFinal out of CTransaction and put them in main as IsStandardTx and IsFinalTx. Moved GetValueOut out of CTransaction into main. Moved CTxIn, CTxOut, and CTransaction into core.
Added minimum fee parameter to CTxOut::IsDust() temporarily until CTransaction is moved to core.h so that CTxOut needn't know about CTransaction.
- harmonize BitcoinGUI::setClientModel() and RPCConsole::setClientModel()
- now RPCConsole::setClientModel() also includes a direct call to
setNumBlocks()
