Add support for a Payment Protocol to Bitcoin-Qt.
Payment messages are protocol-buffer encoded and communicated over
http(s), so this adds a dependency on the Google protocol buffer
library, and requires Qt with OpenSSL support.
Straight refactor, so mapAddressBook stores a CAddressBookData
(which just contains a std::string) instead of a std::string.
Preparation for payment protocol work, which will add the notion
of refund addresses to the address book.
- the send coins context menu entry was not working anymore, because
a non current version of #2220 was merged onto current master
- also removes some unneeded spaces and adds a comment to
WalletModel::getNumTransactions()
Fixes#1452. Until we can make the logic water-tight *and* are notified in every
case the balance might have changed, remove the premature optimization and
simply recompute the balance every half a second when the number of blocks changed.
This adds a field labelled 'Immature' in the overview section under the 'unconfirmed' field, which shows mined
income that has not yet matured (which is currently not displayed anywhere, even though the transactions
exist in the transaction list). To do that I added a 'GetImmatureBalance' method to the wallet, and connected
that through to the GUI as per the 'GetBalance' and 'GetUnconfirmedBalance' methods. I did a small 'no-op'
change to make the code in adjacent functions a little more readable (imo); it was a change I had made in my
repo earlier...but I thought it wouldn't hurt so left it in. Immature balance comes from mined income that is
at least two blocks deep in the chain (same logic as displayed transactions).
My reasoning is:
- as a miner, it's a critical stat I want to see
- as a miner, and taking into account the label 'immature', the uncertainty is pretty clearly implied
- those numbers are already displayed in the transaction list
- this makes the overview numbers add up to what's in the transaction list
- it's not displayed if the immature balance is 0, so won't bother non-miners
I also 'cleaned' the overview UI a little, moving code to the XML and removing HTML.
This introduces internal types:
* CKeyID: reference (hash160) of a key
* CScriptID: reference (hash160) of a script
* CTxDestination: a boost::variant of the former two
CBitcoinAddress is retrofitted to be a Base58 encoding of a
CTxDestination. This allows all internal code to only use the
internal types, and only have RPC and GUI depend on the base58 code.
Furthermore, the header dependencies are a lot saner now. base58.h is
at the top (right below rpc and gui) instead of at the bottom. For the
rest: wallet -> script -> keystore -> key. Only keystore still requires
a forward declaration of CScript. Solving that would require splitting
script into two layers.
- Signals now go directly from the core to WalletModel/ClientModel.
- WalletModel subscribes to signals on CWallet: Prepares for multi-wallet support, by no longer assuming an implicit global wallet.
- Gets rid of noui.cpp, the few lines that were left are merged into init.cpp
- Rename wxXXX message flags to MF_XXX, to make them UI indifferent.
- ThreadSafeMessageBox no longer returns the value `4` which was never used, converted to void.
Gets rid of `MainFrameRepaint` in favor of specific update functions that tell the UI exactly what changed.
This improves the efficiency of various handlers. Also fixes problems with mined transactions not showing up until restart.
The following notifications were added:
- `NotifyBlocksChanged`: Block chain changed
- `NotifyKeyStoreStatusChanged`: Wallet status (encrypted, locked) changed.
- `NotifyAddressBookChanged`: Address book entry changed.
- `NotifyTransactionChanged`: Wallet transaction added, removed or updated.
- `NotifyNumConnectionsChanged`: Number of connections changed.
- `NotifyAlertChanged`: New, updated or cancelled alert. As this finally makes it possible for the UI to know when a new alert arrived, it can be shown as OS notification.
These notifications could also be useful for RPC clients. However, currently, they are ignored in bitcoind (in noui.cpp).
Also brings back polling with timer for numBlocks in ClientModel. This value updates so frequently during initial download that the number of signals clogs the UI thread and causes heavy CPU usage. And after initial block download, the value changes so rarely that a delay of half a second until the UI updates is unnoticable.
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.
- rename wxMessageBox, remove redundant arguments to noui/qtui calls
- also, add flag to force blocking, modal dialog box for disk space warning etc
- clarify function naming
- no more special MessageBox needed from AppInit2, as window object is created before calling AppInit2
- Overall, this is better design
- This fixes problems with the address book UI not updating when the address book is changed through RPC
- Move Statusbar change detection responsibility to ClientModel
- icon from the LGPL Nuvola set (like the tick) - http://www.icon-king.com/projects/nuvola/
- include 'boost/version.hpp' in db.cpp so that the overwrite version of copy can be used
- catch exceptions in BackupWallet (e.g. filesystem_error thrown when trying to overwrite without the overwrite flag set)
- include db.h in walletmodel.cpp for BackupWallet function
- updated doc/assets-attribution.txt and contrib/debian/copyright with copyright info for new icon
SecureString is identical to std::string except with secure_allocator
substituting for std::allocator. This makes casting between them
impossible, so converting between the two at API boundaries requires
calling ::c_str() for now.
