This bug was introduced now that the temp directory is contained within the data directory. Without this, it would leave it in the temp folder and then fail at a later stage.
This ensures that the temporary files are being kept with the rest of the data, rather than somewhere inappropriate such as on flash storage. It also allows the user to locate them somewhere else, such as on a dedicated drive.
This adds support for the PATCH method in addition to the existing PUT method.
Currently, a patch includes only files that have been added or modified, as well as placeholder files to indicate those that have been removed.
This is not production ready, as I am hoping to create patches on a more granular level - i.e. just the modified bytes of each file. It would also make sense to track deletions using a metadata/manifest file in a hidden folder.
It also adds early support of accessing files using a name rather than a signature or hash.
The previous criteria was to stop searching for more leaf keys as soon as we found a batch of keys with no transactions, but it seems that there are occasions when subsequent batches do actually contain transactions. The solution/workaround is to require 5 consecutive empty batches before giving up. There may be ways to improve this further by copying approaches from other BIP32 implementations, but this is a quick fix that should solve the problem for now.
This involved a small refactor of the ACCT code to expose findSecretA() in a more generic way. Bitcoin is disabled for refunding and redeeming as it uses a legacy approach that we no longer support. The {blockchain} URL parameter has also been removed from the redeem and refund APIs, because it can be obtained from the ACCT via the code hash in the AT.
The "dust" threshold is around 1 DOGE - meaning orders below this size cannot be refunded or redeemed. The simplest solution is to prevent orders of this size being placed to begin with.
Recently we have stopped including the version number in the zip and exe files uploaded to github, as this allows us to use the "https://github.com/Qortal/*/releases/latest/download/*" redirect for all 3 files when linking from the qortal.org website. Previously, it could only be done for the JAR since this was the only file that didn't contain a version number. This avoids having to update the website every time we distribute a new release.
Note that this currently requires that the Qortal-x.y.z.exe file created by AdvancedInstaller is renamed to qortal.exe before running ./build-release.sh. If you forget to rename, the script will exit with a warning that the file couldn't be found.
