Upcoming changes constitute breaking public API changes to the chaincfg
module, therefore, this follows the process for introducing major API
breaks which consists of:
- Bump the major version in the go.mod of the affected module if not
already done since the last release tag
- Add a replacement to the go.mod in the main module if not already done
since the last release tag
- Update all imports in the repo to use the new major version as
necessary
- Make necessary modifications to allow all other modules to use the
new version in the same commit
- Repeat the process for any other modules the require a new major as a
result of consuming the new major(s)
This updates the database module to use v2 of the chaincfg module and
bumps the root module to require dcrutil@v1.3.0 accordingly.
Since v2 of the chaincfg module is only used in the tests and standalone
utility, a major version bump of the database module is not required.
This adds a new testnet3 network with new genesis block, block one
ledger, treasury address, and network magic.
All consensus rules that were voted in by testnet2 are automatically
active on the new testnet3 without having to vote them in again.
Consequently, there are no consensus vote agendas defined for it.
This modifies all packages within the repository to the use the Decred
fork of btclog which has been renamed to slog and updates the dependency
files accordingly.
This merge commit adds the following code from the
github.com/decred/dcrutil package into a new
github.com/decred/dcrd/dcrutil package:
* Address handling
* Amount type
* AppDataDir func
* bitflags functions
* Block wrapper type
* Hash160 func
* Tx wrapper type
* WIF type
as well as all tests for this code.
The old github.com/decred/dcrutil/hdkeychain package has also been
merged and moved to github.com/decred/dcrd/dcrutil/hdkeychain.
dcrd packages have been updated to use the new packages and the dep
files have been updated for this change.
The btclog package has been changed to defining its own logging
interface (rather than seelog's) and provides a default implementation
for callers to use.
There are two primary advantages to the new logger implementation.
First, all log messages are created before the call returns. Compared
to seelog, this prevents data races when mutable variables are logged.
Second, the new logger does not implement any kind of artifical rate
limiting (what seelog refers to as "adaptive logging"). Log messages
are outputted as soon as possible and the application will appear to
perform much better when watching standard output.
Because log rotation is not a feature of the btclog logging
implementation, it is handled by the main package by importing a file
rotation package that provides an io.Reader interface for creating
output to a rotating file output. The rotator has been configured
with the same defaults that btcd previously used in the seelog config
(10MB file limits with maximum of 3 rolls) but now compresses newly
created roll files. Due to the high compressibility of log text, the
compressed files typically reduce to around 15-30% of the original
10MB file.

- Reverted because Travis is already at a more recent version

Also, the merge commit contains the necessary decred-specific
alterations, converts all other references to sha to hash to keep with
the spirit of the merged commits, and various other cleanup intended to
bring the code bases more in line with one another.
This is mostly a backport of some of the same modifications made in
Decred along with a few additional things cleaned up. In particular,
this updates the code to make use of the new chainhash package.
Also, since this required API changes anyways and the hash algorithm is
no longer tied specifically to SHA, all other functions throughout the
code base which had "Sha" in their name have been changed to Hash so
they are not incorrectly implying the hash algorithm.
The following is an overview of the changes:
- Remove the wire.ShaHash type
- Update all references to wire.ShaHash to the new chainhash.Hash type
- Rename the following functions and update all references:
- wire.BlockHeader.BlockSha -> BlockHash
- wire.MsgBlock.BlockSha -> BlockHash
- wire.MsgBlock.TxShas -> TxHashes
- wire.MsgTx.TxSha -> TxHash
- blockchain.ShaHashToBig -> HashToBig
- peer.ShaFunc -> peer.HashFunc
- Rename all variables that included sha in their name to include hash
instead
- Update for function name changes in other dependent packages such as
btcutil
- Update copyright dates on all modified files
- Update glide.lock file to use the required version of btcutil
