Post trigger, account levels will map correctly to share bins, subtracting 1 to account for the 0th element of the shareBinsByLevel array.
Pre-trigger, the legacy mapping will remain in effect.
Post trigger, this change will use all 128 bytes of previous block's signature when
calculating/validating next block's "minter" signature (itself the first 64 bytes of a block signature).
Prior to trigger, current behaviour is to only use first 64 bytes of previous block's
signature, which doesn't encompass transactions signature.
New block sig code should help reduce forking and help improve transactional
security.
Added "newBlockSigHeight" to blockchain.json but initially set to block 999999
pending decision on when to merge, auto-update, go-live, etc.
Checkpointing interval is 1 hour by default, changable in settings via
"repositoryCheckpointInterval"
plus corresponding "showCheckpointNotifications" SysTray flags (off by default).
Added entries to SysTray_en i18n properties, and converted SysTray_ru to ISO-8559-1.
Streamlined BTC class and switched to memory block store.
Split BTCACCTTests into BTCACCT utility class and (so far)
three stand-alone apps: Initiate1, Refund2 and Respond2
Moved some Qortal-specific CIYAM AT constants into blockchain config.
Removed redundant BTCTests
Added a setting "showBackupNotification", which is false by default,
that shows a tray notification when a repository backup occurs.
Above notification, and the auto-update notification, now refer to
the SysTray i18n translation lookup resources.
Added API call GET /admin/status which reports whether minting
is possible (have minting keys & up-to-date) and whether node is
currently attempting to sync.
Corresponding change to system tray mouseover text.
Corresponding text added to SysTray transaction resources.
Previous images had a small hole in the icon (probably a result of a background removal), I just filled it back in with white like it's supposed to be. Also, the previous square icons were streched into a square aspect ratio, these are unstreched.
No more "node UI". UI provided by 3rd party.
"Open UI" tray icon menu item now attempts to open UI at various
local servers (see Settings.uilocalServers) or some random
remote server (Settings.uiRemoteServers).
Default UI port now 12388 (Settings.uiPort).
Translator class no longer logs warnings for every failed translation.
Commented out unused ApiError enum entries.
Renamed some ApiError names like "_NO_EXISTS" to "_UNKNOWN".
Removed old src/main/resources/globalization/* files.
Added CheckTranslations test app.
Fixed some extraneous/missing ApiError aspects in some API-related classes.
e.g. added NAME_UNKNOWN to GET /names/{name}
Blockchain configs will need "v2Timestamp" feature trigger renaming to "qortalTimestamp"!
Due to Controller.VERSION_PREFIX changing, peer-to-peer protocol version detection has
been changed. Was previous a substring match, now we test peers's buildTimestamp is at
least Peer.V2_PROTOCOL_TIMESTAMP_THRESHOLD. Changes in Peer.java.
Also added comment and throw() to QortalATAPI.getNextTransactionTimestamp()
as this needs given the change to Qortal's block timestamps from legacy Qora.
Changes to HSQLDB data types, e.g. QoraAddress to QortalAddress, means existing
database will need to be thrown away after this commit!
Seems to produce fat JARs with the same MD5 after repeated runs of:
mvn clean package
Needs testing on other platforms, hence this commit.
Also trimmed some unneeded included JAR libraries from pom.xml,
e.g. netty, async-http-client,
and the *.js.map files from Swagger-UI, which seems to reduce
output JAR size from about 51MB to about 44MB.
These changes are for allowing devices to be shipped with an interim blockchain config & genesis block, running with "main-net" settings, prior to launch.
At launch, an "auto-update" will be broadcast to replace blockchain config & genesis block with the final, launch version.
When updated nodes restart (immediately after auto-update) they should notice their existing genesis blocks are invalid and hence wipe their blockchains,
effectively starting the final, launch blockchain.
To this end, genesis block signatures have been changed to better incorporate values that are likely to change at launch, e.g. block timestamp and transaction data.
Added Crypto.dupDigest(), which is effectively Bytes.concat(digest(msg), digest(msg)).
No need for HSQLDB repository to backup, or wipe, non-existent files for "in-memory" databases!
New interim blockchain config/genesis block.
**NOTE** These changes are being committed but require testing. However the auto-update suite requires a pushed commit in order to build an update file!
Also:
RewardShareKeys app now supports only one arg (minter private key)
in self-reward-share mode, where recipient public key is derived
from minter private key.
Added methods to Account for returning 'effective' minting level
where minting level for founders is read from blockchain config.
(Or returns zero if unable to mint).
Changed two Block constructors into static methods that return
a new Block as there was way too much work being done to really
be called a constructor, especially with all the opportunities
to throw an exception too.
Main blockchain config updated to reflect near-launch version.
Added/changed blockchain weight tests to check block winning
based on higher account levels.
Unified terminology from block "generator", "forger", etc. to "minter"
Unified terminology "proxy forger" to "reward share" as it was
incorrect, or at least highly ambiguous, which account had which role.
AccountRepository.findRewardShares() has different arg order!
Account.canMint() now returns true if account has 'founder' flag set.
Added Account.canRewardShare() which returns whether acocunt can create
a reward-share (e.g. level 5+ or founder).
Fixed HSQLDBAssetRepository.getAllAssets() which had incorrect
resultSet column indexes.
Removed old traces of EnableForging transaction.
ACCOUNT_LEVEL and ACCOUNT_FLAGS (genesis-block-only transaction types)
now set target account's last-reference. This is allow later REWARD_SHARE
transactions in genesis block and post-genesis transactions by that account.
REWARD_SHARE transactions are now FREE, but only if minter is also recipient.
If a self-reward-share already exists, then unless share-percent is zero (to
terminate reward-share), any subsequent self-reward-share is invalid.
Updated SysTray i18n properties file.
BlockChain config file requires 'minAccountLevelToRewardShare' and optional
'minAccountLevelToMint'.
Added potential, but currently unused, memory-hard PoW algorithm.
Fixed/removed/disabled some unit tests.
BlockMinter.generateTestingBlock asks Controller to pretend mintingAccount is 'online'.
More testing needed!
API call GET /addresses/online reports online accounts,
including both addresses relating to the proxy-forge public key.
New PeerChainTipData class to replace the broken "peer data lock"
that was supposed to make sure peer's last height/blockSig/timestamp
were all in sync. Now peer's chain tip data is a single object
reference that can be replaced in one go.
Removed pointless API calls /blocks/time and /blocks/{generatingbalance}.
Various changes, mostly in Block class, to do with switching to BlockTimingByHeight
from old min/max block time.
New block 'weight' based on number of online accounts
and 'distance' of perturbed generator public key from 'ideal' public key
(for that particular block's height).
New sub-chain 'weight' based on accumulating block weights,
currently by shifting previous accumulator left by 8 bits then
adding next block's weight.
More validation of BlockChain config. Helpful for debugging, probably
not very useful to end-users.
BlockGenerator now uses unified Peer predicates from Controller, like:
Controller.hasMisbehaved, Controller.hasNoRecentBlock, etc.
Controller now keeps a list of chain-tip signatures that are for inferior
chains, so it doesn't try to synchronize with peers with inferior chains.
(This list is wiped when node's blockchain changes/block is generated).
Controller now asks Gui to display error box if it can't parse Settings.
Controller.potentiallySynchronize() does more filtering of potential peers
before calling actuallySynchronize(). (Mostly moved from Synchronizer,
so now we expect actuallySynchronize() to do something rather than bail
out because it doesn't like the peer after all).
If synchronization discovers that peer has an inferior chain,
then Controller notifies that peer of our superior chain, to help keep
the network in sync.
Renamed OnlineAccount to OnlineAccountData, as it is in package org.qora.data
after all...
Synchronizer reworked to request block summaries so it can judge which chain
is better, and hence whether to sync with peer or abort.
Slight optimization of Peer.readChannel() to exit earlier if no more network
messages can be extracted from buffer.
More tests.
Improved documentation and logging.
