Switch to using Qt's QLocalServer/QLocalSocket to handle bitcoin
payment links (bitcoin:... URIs)
Reason for switch: the boost::interprocess mechanism seemed flaky,
and doesn't mesh as well with "The Qt Way"
qtipcserver.cpp/h is replaced by paymentserver.cpp/h
Click-to-pay now also works on OSX, with a custom Info.plist
that registers Bitcoin-Qt as a handler for bitcoin: URLs and
an event listener on the main QApplication that handles
QFileOpenEvents (Qt translates 'url clicked' AppleEvents into
QFileOpenEvents automagically).
- this change allows us to keep the translation without the need to
re-translate any string, when we update the copyright year
- copyright symbol is changed to HTML to ensure we get no encoding
issues and it's removed from the translation string so translators don't
break it by mistake
- don't show QR Code context menu, when USE_QRCODE=1 was not specified
when compiling the client
- re-work on_showQRCode_clicked() for better readability and remove an
unneeded duplicate check
- re-work on_signMessage_clicked() and on_verifyMessage_clicked() to match
foreach in on_showQRCode_clicked(), which seems more robust / cleaner
- re-order context menu stuff to match real context menu layout
- add comments for all private slots in the class
- this pull adds an InitMessage() function to noui.cpp, which outputs init
messages to debug.log (this allows to remove some printf() calls from
init.cpp)
- change InitMessage() in bitcoin.cpp to also write init messages to
debug.log to ensure nothting is missing in the log because of the
removal of printf() calls in init.cpp
- add qSort() for cachedAddressTable, as qLowerBound() and qUpperBound()
require the list to be in ascending order (see
http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt4/qtalgorithms.html#qLowerBound)
- add a new check in AddressTableModel::setData() to just return, when no
changes were made to a label or an address (prevents entry duplication
issue)
- remove "rec->label = value.toString();" from
AddressTableModel::setData() as the label gets updated by
AddressTablePriv::updateEntry() anyway (seems @sipa added this line via
1025440184 (L6R225))
- add another new check in AddressTableModel::setData() to just return, if
a duplicate address was found (prevents address overwrite)
- add a new check to EditAddressDialog::setModel() to prevent setting an
invalid model
- re-work the switch-case statement in AddressTableModel::accept() to
always break (as return get's called anyway) and order the list to match
the enum definition
- make accept() in editaddressdialog.h a public slot, which it should be
- misc small coding style changes
Previously when a transaction was set to lock at a specific block the
calculation was reversed, returning a negative number. This broke the UI
and caused it to display %n in place of the actual number.
In addition the previous calculation would display "Open for 0 blocks"
when the block height was such that the next block created would
finalize the transaction. Inserted the word "more" and changed the
calculation so that the last message would be "Open for 1 more block" to
better match user expectations.
- this prevents an interference with the IPC message queue (which is used
for URI processing) when running a testnet and mainnet instance in
parallel
- to check for testnet, I had to raise the ParseParameters() call in
main() to the topmost position
- a click on "Reset Options" sets all options to the default values by
removing all stored settings (QSettings), loading the defaults and
saving them as the new settings
- before the reset is executed the user is presented a confirmation dialog
- special casing was needed for StartAtStartup
- some users reported it as weird, that the estimated block count could be
lower than our own nodes block number (which is indeed true and not good)
- this pull adds a new default behaviour, which displays our own block
number as estimated block number, if own >= est. block count
- the pull raises space for nodes block counts in cPeerBlockCounts to 8 to
be more accurate
- also removes a reduntant setNumBlocks() call in RPCConsole and moves
initialisation of numBlocksAtStartup in ClientModel, where it belongs
- use it for displaying URI parsing warnings
- use it for displaying error and information in backup wallet function
(the information display is new and the error was a warning before)
- cleanup BitcoinGUI::incomingTransaction()
-- use message() + the information icon from message
-- comment out an unused parameter in the function definition and
declaration
-- move all pre-checks at the beginning of the function
- this allows to setup the trayicon before we have and want a trayicon menu
- should be of great use, when we remove that splash screen
- fixes a small bug with the toggleHideAction icon, which is not only used with
trayicon but also with the Mac dock
- fix ThreadSafeMessageBox always displays error icon
- allow to specify MSG_ERROR / MSG_WARNING or MSG_INFORMATION without a
custom caption / title
- allow to specify CClientUIInterface::ICON_ERROR / ICON_WARNING and
ICON_INFORMATION (which is default) as message box icon
- remove CClientUIInterface::OK from ThreadSafeMessageBox-calls, as
the OK button will be set as default, if none is specified
- prepend "Bitcoin - " to used captions
- rename BitcoinGUI::error() -> BitcoinGUI::message() and add function
documentation
- change all style parameters and enum flags to unsigned
- update code to use that new API
- update Client- and WalletModel to use new BitcoinGUI::message() and
rename the classes error() method into message()
- include the possibility to supply the wanted icon for messages from
Client- and WalletModel via "style" parameter
Flushes the blktree/ and coins/ databases, and reindexes the
block chain files, as if their contents was loaded via -loadblock.
Based on earlier work by Jeff Garzik.
- ensure header inclusion guard is named after the header file
- add missing comments at the end of some inclusion guards
- add a small Qt5 compatibility fix in macdockiconhandler.h
- add setStatusTip() in addition to setTooltip() where it makes sense
- add only setStatusTip() if GUI element is only used in main- or tray menu
- add an event filter on our BitcoinGUI object to prevent garbelled text
on the status bar, which happens when we use it for e.g. displaying
block-sync state and then a QEvent::StatusTip wants to write own text to it
- remove a double translation of "Bitcoin client"
- instead of "return false;" use "return QDialog::eventFilter(object,
event);" to harmonize this event filter with our default behaviour
- remove orphan spaces found while editting the files
Implements #1948
- Add macro `CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` to clientversion.h
- When running a prerelease (the above macro is `false`):
- In UI, show an orange warning bar at the top. This will be used for other
warnings (and alerts) as well, instead of the status bar.
- For `bitcoind`, show the warning in the "errors" field in `getinfo`
response.
During the initial block download (or -loadblock), delay connection
of new blocks a bit, and perform them in a single action. This reduces
the load on the database engine, as subsequent blocks often update an
earlier block's transaction already.
This switches bitcoin's transaction/block verification logic to use a
"coin database", which contains all unredeemed transaction output scripts,
amounts and heights.
The name ultraprune comes from the fact that instead of a full transaction
index, we only (need to) keep an index with unspent outputs. For now, the
blocks themselves are kept as usual, although they are only necessary for
serving, rescanning and reorganizing.
The basic datastructures are CCoins (representing the coins of a single
transaction), and CCoinsView (representing a state of the coins database).
There are several implementations for CCoinsView. A dummy, one backed by
the coins database (coins.dat), one backed by the memory pool, and one
that adds a cache on top of it. FetchInputs, ConnectInputs, ConnectBlock,
DisconnectBlock, ... now operate on a generic CCoinsView.
The block switching logic now builds a single cached CCoinsView with
changes to be committed to the database before any changes are made.
This means no uncommitted changes are ever read from the database, and
should ease the transition to another database layer which does not
support transactions (but does support atomic writes), like LevelDB.
For the getrawtransaction() RPC call, access to a txid-to-disk index
would be preferable. As this index is not necessary or even useful
for any other part of the implementation, it is not provided. Instead,
getrawtransaction() uses the coin database to find the block height,
and then scans that block to find the requested transaction. This is
slow, but should suffice for debug purposes.
This reverts commit 199d88cf90, reversing
changes made to 65bc1573e7.
License is worse instead of better. Will only accept public domain and
MIT-licensed icons from now on.
- don't rely on the QSettings for cases ProxyUse and ProxySocksVersion and
query the real values via the GetProxy() call
- add a missing "succesful =" for case ProxyUse in ::setData()
- fix#1560 by properly locking proxy related data-structures
- update GetProxy() and introduce GetNameProxy() to be able to use a
thread-safe local copy from proxyInfo and nameproxyInfo
- update usage of GetProxy() all over the source to match the new
behaviour, as it now fills a full proxyType object
- rename GetNameProxy() into HaveNameProxy() to be more clear
This allows fun stuff such as `bitcoin --help | less`, and more
easy piping to files.
Looking at other tools such as bash, gcc, they all send their help
text to stdout.
As the code was before, toHTML added empty elements to mapValue to check for their existance. Now first it check for their existance and then for their non-emptiness.
Removed a duplicated identical if
There are two equal ifs, one inside another. If the first one is true, then the second one is true.
- Paging using PageUp / PageDown now works when entry widget has focus
- Typing or pasting while the messages widget has focus auto-selects entry widget
Bugfix: Correct doubled-up & in translations
Bugfix: Remove extra spaces after ampersand in translations (this fixes hotkeys)
Restore copyright translations, now split up
Restore old translations lost due to changes to English structure
Skipped: ca_ES et eu_ES fr_CA (under 10% coverage)
- add version information to bitcoin-qt.rc, which is displayed on Windows, when looking in the executable properties and selecting "Details"
- introduce a new clientversion.h (used in bitcoin-qt.rc to generate
version information), which takes only the version defines from
version.h and is included in it (to allow usage with the windres rc-file
compiler)
- move #define STRINGIFY(s) #s into clientversion.h as that is used in
bitcoin-qt.rc and rename to DO_STRINGIZE(X)
- add #define STRINGIZE(X) DO_STRINGIZE(X), which is needed to convert the
version defines into a version string in the rc-file
- this ensures we only need to update 1 file and have bitcoin-qt.exe
version information
- for RC-file documentation see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa381058%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Try to display a nicer message instead of dumping raw JSON object when possible. If the error
somehow doesn't have the required 'code' and 'message' fields, fall back to printing raw JSON object.
- re-order Qt Actions and connect() calls to match the real GUI layout,
which makes things easier to read and understand
- remove signMessageAction and verifyMessageAction from tabGroup as we
didn't use them anyway (as tooltips are not displayed in the menu remove
these too)
- update 2 comments
- be clear we don't "Show/Hide Bitcoins", but just the client window
- remove the tooltip for toggleHideAction as this is not shown anyway
- update a comment to be more general
Windows & WindowsXP style have a problem with displaying the block progress.
Add a custom stylesheet as workaround, but only when one of those renderers is active,
otherwise leave the theme alone (issue #1071).
- add a new label, which can be updated independently from the whole
license information stuff
- the benefit is, we don't need to re-translate that whole wall of text
every year the copyright info changes
- update to the same copyright string we use in the source and in the
bitcoin-qt.exe meta-data information
- removes an obsolete entry from the ui-file
- Show address receiving the generation, and include it in the correct "account"
- Multiple entries in listtransactions output if the coinbase has multiple outputs to us
- extend bitcoin-qt.rc to include meta information, which is displayed on
Windows, when looking in the executable properties and selecting
"Details"
- does currently NOT include version information, this is scheduled
for later releases
- for RC-file documentation see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa381058%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
This is the last time for 0.7.0. We should avoid message changes
until the release. Translators can use the remaining time to update their languages on
Transifex.
The other languages need to be merged from Transifex just before release.
- add enableApplyButton() and disableApplyButton() to optionsdialog.{h/cpp}
- they are used to ensure the Ok button does not get disabled, when Apply needs to be disabled (standard UX should allow Ok always to dismiss the dialog and only disable it, when we have a faulty proxy IP)
- disable Apply after initially loading the settings, as nothing new needs to be saved
- remove orphan settings from optionsdialog.ui that are default anyway
- ensure warnings always start with "Warning:" and that the first
character after ":" is written uppercase
- ensure the first sentence in warnings ends with an "!"
- remove unneeded spaces from Warning-strings
- add missing Warning-string translation
- remove a "\n" and replace with untranslatable "<br><br>"
- remove duplicate includes, that are already present in ui_optionsdialog.h
- change QIntValidator to not allow 0 as port-number
- re-order some function calls to match the Ui element order, for better readbility and to prepare for the addition of further IPv6 and Tor proxy options
- restat warning for the language selection is only shown, when the language was changed (not on simply activating the Ui element)
- split check for object == ui->proxyIp into seperate if-clause
- micro-optimize the code in the above mentioned if-clause
- unify used format for comments in the code
- introduce handleProxyIpValid() function, which handles UI elements and the
save button states for valid/invalid proxy IPs
- add IMPLEMENT_RANDOMIZE_STACK for ipcThread()
- log / print boost interprocess exceptions
- use MAX_URI_LENGTH in guiconstants.h (also used in qrcodedialog.cpp)
- remove unneeded includes and ipcShutdown() from qtipcserver.cpp
- fix a small mem-leak by deleting mq before re-using it
- make ipcThread() and ipcThread2() static functions
- add some more comments
- this helps user to not think our Client is called "Bitcoin Wallet"
- change "About Bitcoin-Qt" to "About Bitcoin"
- change "Bitcoin debug window" to "Bitcoin - Debug window"
- change "Client" in debug Window to "Bitcoin Core"
- cleanup optionsmodel before adding new proxy options
- place SOCKS version stuff below proxy port (IP, Port, SOCKS version)
- simplyfy some parts of the code (e.g. don't check IP and port, as this
is done in optionsdialog anyway, remove unneeded {} in switch/case)
- small cosmetic changes in the header for better readability
Fixes#1452. Until we can make the logic water-tight *and* are notified in every
case the balance might have changed, remove the premature optimization and
simply recompute the balance every half a second when the number of blocks changed.
Compiling boost::interprocess::message_queue against
boost 1.50 macports with -arch i386 (how releases are built,
for minimum download size and maximum compatibility) is failing:
src/qt/qtipcserver.cpp:37: error: no matching function for call to ‘boost::interprocess::message_queue_t<boost::interprocess::offset_ptr<void, int, long unsigned int, 0u> >::timed_receive(char (*)[257], long unsigned int, size_t&, unsigned int&, boost::posix_time::ptime&)’
This is probably a boost or macports bug, but since interprocess::message_queue
is only used for URI support, which isn't implemented on OSX anyway, I fixed
the build by #ifdef'ing out that code.
- add signals signMessage() and verifyMessage() in addressbookpage.cpp
- connect to them in bitcoingui.cpp to switch to the corresponding tab in the Sign/Verify Message dialog
- make gotoSignMessageTab() and gotoVerifyMessageTab() private slots
- remove unused #include <QDebug> and lblBTC label
- update Bitcoin input field to a BitcoinAmountField to allow Bitcoin unit selection
- use BitcoinUnits::format for the resulting amount parameter in the generated URI (always use BTC as per BIP21)
- move MAX_URI_LENGTH and EXPORT_IMAGE_SIZE to guiconstants.h
- add OptionsModel in AddressBookPage and use it in on_showQRCode_clicked() to pass it to QRCodeDialog
- add OptionsModel in QRCodeDialog to enable display unit updates
- add updateDisplayUnit() slot to be able to imediately update currently set bitcoin unit
- make all labels in the UI-file plain text
- resize dialog to match for an updated layout (fields are now stacked and new field)
- remove unused parameters from private slots
- only enable save button, when QR Code was generated
- show message when entered amound is invalid
- add read-only QPlainTextEdit field to output generated URI
- add UI-feedback via QValidatedLineEdit
- copy button for generated signature was moved to the signature output field
- add an addressbook button to verify message tab
- input fields are now evenly ordered for sign and verify tabs
- update FIRST_CLASS_MESSAGING support to ensure a good UX
- add a button and context menu entry in addressbook for verify message (to be consistent with sign message)
- focus is now only set/changed, when clearing input fields or adding an address via addressbook
- re-work / update some strings
- ensure model gets initialized in the SignVerifyMessageDialog constructor
- add checks for a valid model to both addressbook buttons
- remove unneeded includes for Qt GUI elements that are listed in ui_signverifymessagedialog.h anyway
- remove "#include <QString>" as this is included in the header
- add some missing plural forms that can be translated
- change "yours" into "own address", which is easier to understand and translate in that context
- cleanup translatable strings to not include HTML or unneeded chars (e.g. ":")
- resize TransactionDescDialog a little (remove unwanted line-breaks with non english translations)
- display as "language - country (locale name)", when locale name consists of 2 parts
- display as "language (locale name)", when locale name consists of 1 part
On Linux/Mac the command-line options were printed to stderr when the button
was pressed in the debug window, resulting in confusion. This is fixed
in this commit by adding a separate method.
The current order of menu options in the tray menu doesn't really match expected usage patterns, this commit changes it to more logical order.
- Toggle show/hide first (unchanged)
- Then, send/receive coins actions, which are the critical functionality of bitcoin
- Then, sign/verify message
- Then finally the options, and closing with the debug window
This is necessary as any strings have changed since last time.
Also the python script used to extract bitcoinstrings.cpp, extract_strings_qt.py
now sorts the strings before generating the output file. This results in more
deterministic output and thus smaller diffs.
- extend network options with a SOCKS version selection
- changing "Unit to show amounts in:" now also updates the unit used in the transaction fee box
- string updates
- link Apply button and OK button when enabling or disabling them
- use LookupNumeric() from netbase to verify proxy address (via an EventFilter)
- change proxy address field to QValidatedLineEdit and add visual feedback
- add a status label used for displaying a message for invalid proxy addresses
- allow usage of IPv6 address as proxy address
- added warning message when enabling / disabling SOCKS proxy
The option to open the debug logfile from the debug window was implemented only for
windows. By using `QDesktopServices::openUrl` it now works on any platform.
This adds a field labelled 'Immature' in the overview section under the 'unconfirmed' field, which shows mined
income that has not yet matured (which is currently not displayed anywhere, even though the transactions
exist in the transaction list). To do that I added a 'GetImmatureBalance' method to the wallet, and connected
that through to the GUI as per the 'GetBalance' and 'GetUnconfirmedBalance' methods. I did a small 'no-op'
change to make the code in adjacent functions a little more readable (imo); it was a change I had made in my
repo earlier...but I thought it wouldn't hurt so left it in. Immature balance comes from mined income that is
at least two blocks deep in the chain (same logic as displayed transactions).
My reasoning is:
- as a miner, it's a critical stat I want to see
- as a miner, and taking into account the label 'immature', the uncertainty is pretty clearly implied
- those numbers are already displayed in the transaction list
- this makes the overview numbers add up to what's in the transaction list
- it's not displayed if the immature balance is 0, so won't bother non-miners
I also 'cleaned' the overview UI a little, moving code to the XML and removing HTML.
This introduces internal types:
* CKeyID: reference (hash160) of a key
* CScriptID: reference (hash160) of a script
* CTxDestination: a boost::variant of the former two
CBitcoinAddress is retrofitted to be a Base58 encoding of a
CTxDestination. This allows all internal code to only use the
internal types, and only have RPC and GUI depend on the base58 code.
Furthermore, the header dependencies are a lot saner now. base58.h is
at the top (right below rpc and gui) instead of at the bottom. For the
rest: wallet -> script -> keystore -> key. Only keystore still requires
a forward declaration of CScript. Solving that would require splitting
script into two layers.
- Signals now go directly from the core to WalletModel/ClientModel.
- WalletModel subscribes to signals on CWallet: Prepares for multi-wallet support, by no longer assuming an implicit global wallet.
- Gets rid of noui.cpp, the few lines that were left are merged into init.cpp
- Rename wxXXX message flags to MF_XXX, to make them UI indifferent.
- ThreadSafeMessageBox no longer returns the value `4` which was never used, converted to void.
Gets rid of `MainFrameRepaint` in favor of specific update functions that tell the UI exactly what changed.
This improves the efficiency of various handlers. Also fixes problems with mined transactions not showing up until restart.
The following notifications were added:
- `NotifyBlocksChanged`: Block chain changed
- `NotifyKeyStoreStatusChanged`: Wallet status (encrypted, locked) changed.
- `NotifyAddressBookChanged`: Address book entry changed.
- `NotifyTransactionChanged`: Wallet transaction added, removed or updated.
- `NotifyNumConnectionsChanged`: Number of connections changed.
- `NotifyAlertChanged`: New, updated or cancelled alert. As this finally makes it possible for the UI to know when a new alert arrived, it can be shown as OS notification.
These notifications could also be useful for RPC clients. However, currently, they are ignored in bitcoind (in noui.cpp).
Also brings back polling with timer for numBlocks in ClientModel. This value updates so frequently during initial download that the number of signals clogs the UI thread and causes heavy CPU usage. And after initial block download, the value changes so rarely that a delay of half a second until the UI updates is unnoticable.
- Solves #1278, attempts to address #1049
- Removes \t's from help message that are removed afterwards anyway
- Moves UI-specific command-line options help to UI code
- Moves "-detachdb" out of #ifdef USE_UPNP
* This allows copy/pasting whole or partial messages
* Handle output more consistently in console
* No more scrollbars-in-scrollbars: by setting per-pixel scrolling on the table, cells can have any height
* Decorations for "request" and "reply" are changed to the txin and txout icons instead of colored squares
Implemented without having to touch any translation: by listening for QEvent::ToolTipChange events, then rewriting the tooltips to prefix `<qt/>` if it is not yet rich text.
Add an option -detachdb (and entry in OptionDialog), without which no
lsn_reset is called on addr.dat and blkindex.dat. That means these
files cannot be moved to a new environment, but shutdown can be
significantly faster. The wallet file is always lsn_reset'ed.
-detachdb corresponds to the old behaviour, though it is off by
default now to speed up shutdowns.
This commit removes the dependency of serialize.h on PROTOCOL_VERSION,
and makes this parameter required instead of implicit. This is much saner,
as it makes the places where changing a version number can have an
influence obvious.
This is more clear to users than when the program simply disappears (usually during initialization). It still logs the message to the console and debug log as well.
- Move scripts/qt to share/qt, to clean up toplevel directories
- Update english ts file which is used to source messages for Transifex
- In extract_strings_qt.py use a glob *.h *.cpp, this is safe now that the Wx UI files are removed
All client version information is moved to version.cpp, which optionally
(-DHAVE_BUILD_INFO) includes build.h. build.h is automatically generated
on supporting platforms via contrib/genbuild.sh, using git describe.
The git export-subst attribute is used to put the commit id statically
in version.cpp inside generated archives, and this value is used if no
build.h is present.
The gitian descriptors are modified to use git archive instead of a
copy, to create the src/ directory in the output. This way,
src/src/version.cpp will contain the static commit id. To prevent
gitian builds from getting the "-dirty" marker in their git-describe
generated identifiers, no touching of files or running sed on the
makefile is performed anymore. This does not seem to influence
determinism.
- converted openBictoinAction to toggleHideAction
- put GUIUtil functions into a namespace instead of a class
- put window-related functions together in optionsdialog
Reasoning:
- toggle is more typical behaviour
- it's more functional
- better UX
The typical issue with toggling visibility is that when a window
is obscured by other windows but in the 'shown' state, hiding it
isn't what you want. I've added an 'isObscured' function to GUIUtil
that checks several pixels in the window to see if they are visible
on the desktop so that an obscured but shown window can be raised.
Conflicts:
src/qt/guiutil.cpp
src/qt/guiutil.h
- rename wxMessageBox, remove redundant arguments to noui/qtui calls
- also, add flag to force blocking, modal dialog box for disk space warning etc
- clarify function naming
- no more special MessageBox needed from AppInit2, as window object is created before calling AppInit2
- Overall, this is better design
- This fixes problems with the address book UI not updating when the address book is changed through RPC
- Move Statusbar change detection responsibility to ClientModel
It was too hyperactive.
gmaxwell: I mean that right now when the block gap goes over an hour it starts showing synchronizing. Increasing that to 90 minutes or so would make it only happen about 6.4 times per year
Before 0.6 addrProxy was a CAddress, but netbase changed it to CService.
Retain compatibility by wrapping/unwrapping with a CAddress when saving
or loading.
This commit retains compatibility with 0.6.0rc1 (which wrote the setting
as a CService) by trying to parse twice.
- icon from the LGPL Nuvola set (like the tick) - http://www.icon-king.com/projects/nuvola/
- include 'boost/version.hpp' in db.cpp so that the overwrite version of copy can be used
- catch exceptions in BackupWallet (e.g. filesystem_error thrown when trying to overwrite without the overwrite flag set)
- include db.h in walletmodel.cpp for BackupWallet function
- updated doc/assets-attribution.txt and contrib/debian/copyright with copyright info for new icon
When a transaction has multiple outputs that go to the wallet, list these
as multiple transactions in the UI. This is also applied to generated
(coinbase) transactions. Also makes the code shorter and easier
to understand.
