-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
-uses UI stored in Resources folder of app
