* serialization: teach serializers variadics Also add a variadic CDataStream ctor for ease-of-use. * connman is in charge of pushing messages The changes here are dense and subtle, but hopefully all is more explicit than before. - CConnman is now in charge of sending data rather than the nodes themselves. This is necessary because many decisions need to be made with all nodes in mind, and a model that requires the nodes calling up to their manager quickly turns to spaghetti. - The per-node-serializer (ssSend) has been replaced with a (quasi-)const send-version. Since the send version for serialization can only change once per connection, we now explicitly tag messages with INIT_PROTO_VERSION if they are sent before the handshake. With this done, there's no need to lock for access to nSendVersion. Also, a new stream is used for each message, so there's no need to lock during the serialization process. - This takes care of accounting for optimistic sends, so the nOptimisticBytesWritten hack can be removed. - -dropmessagestest and -fuzzmessagestest have not been preserved, as I suspect they haven't been used in years. * net: switch all callers to connman for pushing messages Drop all of the old stuff. * drop the optimistic write counter hack This is now handled properly in realtime. * net: remove now-unused ssSend and Fuzz * net: construct CNodeStates in place * net: handle version push in InitializeNode |

Dash Core staging tree 0.12.1
What is Dash?
Dash is an experimental new digital currency that enables anonymous, instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Dash uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Dash Core is the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Dash Core software, see https://www.dash.org/get-dash/.
License
Dash Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master
branch is meant to be stable. Development is normally done in separate branches.
Tags are created to indicate new official,
stable release versions of Dash Core.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check
There are also regression and integration tests of the RPC interface, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.py
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows and Linux, OS X, and that unit and sanity tests are automatically run.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Dash Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
Translators should also follow the forum.
