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.
- 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
If our IRC nick is in use (because some other node thinks it has
the same address we think we have) don't fruitlessly try to reconnect
using that name forever. After three tries, give up and use a random
nick. Either we'll learn a new local address from IRC and switch
to that, or it was right and the other guy is advertising for us.
This avoids a pessimal case where a second testnet node behind
a nat is unable to get any peers because he can't get on IRC.
Previously Bitcoin would refuse to use IRC if it was either not
accepting inbound connections or not making outbound. Instead this
changes it to not use IRC only if it's not doing either or if
IPv4 is off completely. If Bitcoin is not listening this will use
the default random nicks rather than the IP based ones.
Hard-code a special nId=max int alert, to be broadcast if the
alert key is ever compromised. It applies to all versions, never
expires, cancels all previous alerts, and has a fixed message:
URGENT: Alert key compromised, upgrade required
Variations are not allowed (ignored), so an attacker with
the private key cannot broadcast empty-message nId=max alerts.
This fixes two alert system vulnerabilities found by
Sergio Lerner; you could send peers unlimited numbers
of invalid alert message to try to either fill up their
debug.log with messages and/or keep their CPU busy
checking signatures.
Fixed by disconnecting/banning peers if they send 10 or more
bad (invalid/expired/cancelled) alerts.
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
