Client (SPV) mode never got implemented entirely, and whatever part was already
working, is likely not been tested (or even executed at all) for the past two
years. This removes it entirely.
If we want an SPV implementation, I think we should first get the block chain
data structures to be encapsulated in a class implementing a standard interface,
and then writing an alternate implementation with SPV semantics.
* During block verification (when parallelism is requested), script
check actions are stored instead of being executed immediately.
* After every processed transactions, its signature actions are
pushed to a CScriptCheckQueue, which maintains a queue and some
synchronization mechanism.
* Two or more threads (if enabled) start processing elements from
this queue,
* When the block connection code is finished processing transactions,
it joins the worker pool until the queue is empty.
As cs_main is held the entire time, and all verification must be
finished before the block continues processing, this does not reach
the best possible performance. It is a less drastic change than
some more advanced mechanisms (like doing verification out-of-band
entirely, and rolling back blocks when a failure is detected).
The -par=N flag controls the number of threads (1-16). 0 means auto,
and is the default.
These command are a leftover from send-to-IP transactions, which have been
removed a long time ago.
Also removes CNode::mapRequests and CNode::PushRequests, as these were
only used for the mentioned commands.
Prior to this change, each TX typically generated 3+ debug messages,
askfor tx 8644cc97480ba1537214 0
sending getdata: tx 8644cc97480ba1537214
askfor tx 8644cc97480ba1537214 1339640761000000
askfor tx 8644cc97480ba1537214 1339640881000000
CTxMemPool::accept() : accepted 8644cc9748 (poolsz 6857)
After this change, there is only one message for each valid TX received
CTxMemPool::accept() : accepted 22a73c5d8c (poolsz 42)
and two messages for each orphan tx received
ERROR: FetchInputs() : 673dc195aa mempool Tx prev not found 1e439346fc
stored orphan tx 673dc195aa (mapsz 19)
The -debugnet option, or its superset -debug, will restore the full debug
output.
Introduce a boolean variable for each "network" (ipv4, ipv6, tor, i2p),
and track whether we are likely to able to connect to it. Addresses in
"addr" messages outside of our network get limited relaying and are not
stored in addrman.
Change internal HTTP JSON-RPC server from single-threaded to
thread-per-connection model. The IP filter list is applied prior to starting
the thread, which then processes the RPC.
A mutex covers the entire RPC operation, because not all RPC operations are
thread-safe.

-externalip=<ip> can be used to explicitly set the public IP address
of your node. -discover=0 can be used to disable the automatic public
IP discovery system.
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.
Design goals:
* Only keep a limited number of addresses around, so that addr.dat does not grow without bound.
* Keep the address tables in-memory, and occasionally write the table to addr.dat.
* Make sure no (localized) attacker can fill the entire table with his nodes/addresses.
See comments in addrman.h for more detailed information.
This turns on most gcc warnings, and removes some unused variables and other code that triggers warnings.
Exceptions are:
-Wno-sign-compare : triggered by lots of comparisons of signed integer to foo.size(), which is unsigned.
-Wno-char-subscripts : triggered by the convert-to-hex functions (I may fix this in a future commit).
This introduces CNetAddr and CService, respectively wrapping an
(IPv6) IP address and an IP+port combination. This functionality used
to be part of CAddress, which also contains network flags and
connection attempt information. These extra fields are however not
always necessary.
These classes, along with logic for creating connections and doing
name lookups, are moved to netbase.{h,cpp}, which does not depend on
headers.h.
Furthermore, CNetAddr is mostly IPv6-ready, though IPv6
functionality is not yet enabled for the application itself.
Replaced all occurrences of #if* __WXMSW__ with WIN32,
and all occurrences of __WXMAC_OSX__ with MAC_OSX, and made
sure those are defined appropriately in the makefile and bitcoin-qt.pro.
This commit does *not* and should not modify *any* code, it only moves
it from net.h and splits it across protocol.cpp and protocol.hpp.

Move CMessageHeader from net.h to protocol.[ch]pp, with the
implementation in the .cpp compilation unit (compiling once is enough).
This commit does *not* and should not modify *any* code, it only moves
it from net.h and splits it across protocol.cpp and protocol.hpp.
Indentation changes aside the closest thing to a modification of code is
the addition of the 'TODO' comment (the execution of which requires code
modifications and thus doesn't belong in this commit).

Explicitly make these global variables less-global to reduce the maximum
scope of this global state.
In my experience global variables tend to be a major source of bugs. As
such the less accessible they are the less likely they are to be the
source of a bug.

Regarding https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28022.0
main.cpp has: "char pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xf9, 0xbe, 0xb4, 0xd9 };"
Per discussion on the thread linked, leaving the signedness of
pchMessageStart is unsafe for values > 0x80. This patch specifies
'unsigned char' in main.cpp and net.h.

Introduce SendBufferSize() and ReceiveBufferSize(), and limit
the blocks sent as response to the "getblocks" message to
half of the active send buffer size.
Use non-blocking connects, and a select() call to wait a predefined
time (5s by default, but configurable with -timeout) for either
success or failure. This allows much more connections to be tried
per time unit.
Based on a patch by phantomcircuit.
* A new option -dns is introduced that enables name lookups in
-connect and -addnode, which is not enabled by default,
as it may be considered a security issue.
* A Lookup function is added that supports retrieving one or
more addresses based on a host name
* CAddress constructors (optionally) support name lookups.
* The different places in the source code that did name lookups
are refactored to use NameLookup or CAddress instead (dns seeding,
irc server lookup, getexternalip, ...).
* Removed ToStringLog() from CAddress, and switched to ToString(),
since it was empty.

but are not installed.
doc - Files in HTML and text format that document usage, quirks of
