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 change begins the work of bringing committed filters to the
network consensus daemon. Committed filters are designed to enable
light wallets without many of the privacy issues associated with
server-side bloom filtering.
The new gcs package provides the primitives for creating and matching
against Golomb-coded sets (GCS) filters while the blockcf package
provides creation of filters and filter entries for data structures
found in blocks.
The wire package has been updated to define a new protocol version and
service flag for advertising CF support and includes types for the
following new messages: cfheaders, cfilter, cftypes, getcfheaders,
getcfilter, getcftypes. The peer package and server implementation
have been updated to include support for the new protocol version and
messages.
Filters are created using a collision probability of 2^-20 and are
saved to a new optional database index when running with committed
filter support enabled (the default). At first startup, if support is
not disabled, the index will be created and populated with filters and
filter headers for all preexisting blocks, and new filters will be
recorded for processed blocks.
Multiple filter types are supported. The regular filter commits to
output scripts and previous outpoints that any non-voting wallet will
require access to. Scripts and previous outpoints that can only be
spent by votes and revocations are not committed to the filter. The
extended filter is a supplementary filter which commits to all
transaction hashes and script data pushes from the input scripts of
non-coinbase regular and ticket purchase transactions. Creating these
filters is based on the algorithm defined by BIP0158 but is modified
to only commit "regular" data in stake transactions to prevent
committed filters from being used to create SPV voting wallets.

The merge commit modifies the protocol versions and the wire default
user agent version accordingly along with other minor changes in terms
of copyright dates and comment changes.
This implements a new voting agenda for the testnet and simnet networks
for increasing the maximum block size from 1MiB to 1.25MB.
The following is an overview of the changes:
- Bump the maximum protocol block size limit to 1.25MB
- Bump the protocol version to 4
- Add wire tests for v3 protocol sizes and update tests for latest
- Update all wire values that are defined in terms of the max block size
to respect the protocol version
- Update the MaxSigOpsPerBlock constant to maintain existing value
regardless of the raised max protocol block size
- Decouple the maximum tx size from the block size by creating a chain
parameter for it with the current sizes so it is not a part of the
hard fork vote
- Add definition for new version 4 stake vote along with agenda to vote
on block size to the testnet and simnet networks
- Convert the MaximumBlockSize chain parameter to a slice in order to
hold the different possible sizes
- Adds a new function that returns the maximum block size based upon the
result of the vote
- Change the existing context-free block size check to enforce the max
protocol size and introduce a context-specific check which enforces a
restricted size based upon the network consensus parameters and the
result of the vote
- Set the max allowed size in generated block templates based upon the
network params and result of the vote
- Generate version 4 blocks and reject version 3 blocks after a super
majority has been reached

In addition to the normal required changes for syncing, the following
changes have been made in order to facilitate integration of the new
package into Decred:
- Removed check in PushRejectMsg against protocol version since all
peers since the initial version support it
- Fixed leaked timer in `syncMiningStateAfterSync` function
- Add the Decred-specific OnGetMiningState and OnMiningState handlers to
the new peer package
- Add handler for the new mining state messages to the 'serverPeer' type
and register them
- Use the new constant for wire.InitialProtocolVersion in the reject
message instead of hard coded number
- Remove logic specific to the regression network since Decred does not
have it
This modifies the wire.ServiceFlag stringer to use the ordered slice of
flags to ensure that the human readable representation of the flags is
always in a well defined order. This is not only useful for humans, but
it also allows the output to be deterministically tested.
This sync includes a new service flag named SFNodeBloom that a node is
required to use to indicate that it supports bloom filtering. This
includes a protocol version bump to 2 and a wire version bump to 0.1.0.
dcrd:
The SFNodeBloom flag is set by default. A new configuration option
--nopeerbloomfilters has been added to to disable bloom filtering.
Also, it corrects an issue with the mining state message where it was
using the network protocol version instead of having its own version.
This implements the wire protocol encoding portion of a new
sendheaders message as described by BIP0130. It purpose is to request
that a peer sends header commands instead of inv commands when
announcing new blocks. This includes a protocol version bump to 70012
and a wire version bump to 0.4.0.
Note that this does not implement logic to handle the command in btcd,
rather it only makes the command available at the wire protocol level.
A future commit which honors the command and therefore provides full
BIP0130 support is still required.
SFNodeBloom is a new service flag that a node is required to use to
indicate that it supports bloom filtering. This includes a protocol
version bump to 70011 and a wire version bump to 0.3.0.
btcd:
The SFNodeBloom flag is set by default. A new configuration option
--nopeerbloomfilters has been added to to disable bloom filtering.
Any node advertising a version greater than or equal to 70011 that
attempts to use bloom filtering will be disconnected if bloom
filtering is disabled.
This mimics Bitcoin Core commit afb0ccaf9c9e4e8fac7db3564c4e19c9218c6b03
This commit contains the entire btcwire repository along with several
changes needed to move all of the files into the wire directory in
order to prepare it for merging. This does NOT update btcd or any of the
other packages to use the new location as that will be done separately.
- All import paths in the old btcwire test files have been changed to the
new location
- All references to btcwire as the package name have been chagned to
wire
- The coveralls badge has been removed since it unfortunately doesn't
support coverage of sub-packages
This is ongoing work toward #214.
