- this change allows us to keep the translation without the need to
re-translate any string, when we update the copyright year
- copyright symbol is changed to HTML to ensure we get no encoding
issues and it's removed from the translation string so translators don't
break it by mistake
- don't show QR Code context menu, when USE_QRCODE=1 was not specified
when compiling the client
- re-work on_showQRCode_clicked() for better readability and remove an
unneeded duplicate check
- re-work on_signMessage_clicked() and on_verifyMessage_clicked() to match
foreach in on_showQRCode_clicked(), which seems more robust / cleaner
- re-order context menu stuff to match real context menu layout
- add comments for all private slots in the class
- this flag allows bitcoin-qt.exe / bitcoind.exe (32-bit application) to
handle addresses larger than 2GB (up to 3GB on x86 Windows and up to
4GB on x64 Windows)
- it was bad, that quite some messages were just talking about a database,
I think a user should know, if we are talking about wallet db or
block/coin db
- also adds a new init message for "Verifying block database integrity..."
- this pull adds an InitMessage() function to noui.cpp, which outputs init
messages to debug.log (this allows to remove some printf() calls from
init.cpp)
- change InitMessage() in bitcoin.cpp to also write init messages to
debug.log to ensure nothting is missing in the log because of the
removal of printf() calls in init.cpp
- add qSort() for cachedAddressTable, as qLowerBound() and qUpperBound()
require the list to be in ascending order (see
http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt4/qtalgorithms.html#qLowerBound)
- add a new check in AddressTableModel::setData() to just return, when no
changes were made to a label or an address (prevents entry duplication
issue)
- remove "rec->label = value.toString();" from
AddressTableModel::setData() as the label gets updated by
AddressTablePriv::updateEntry() anyway (seems @sipa added this line via
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/1025440184ef100a22d07c7bb543ee45cf169d64#L6R225)
- add another new check in AddressTableModel::setData() to just return, if
a duplicate address was found (prevents address overwrite)
- add a new check to EditAddressDialog::setModel() to prevent setting an
invalid model
- re-work the switch-case statement in AddressTableModel::accept() to
always break (as return get's called anyway) and order the list to match
the enum definition
- make accept() in editaddressdialog.h a public slot, which it should be
- misc small coding style changes
- ensure we use strCaption for printf and fprintf, as before it could
happen to have an error message in the debug.log, which had no "Error"
(or whatever) in front
- this prevents an interference with the IPC message queue (which is used
for URI processing) when running a testnet and mainnet instance in
parallel
- to check for testnet, I had to raise the ParseParameters() call in
main() to the topmost position
- a click on "Reset Options" sets all options to the default values by
removing all stored settings (QSettings), loading the defaults and
saving them as the new settings
- before the reset is executed the user is presented a confirmation dialog
- special casing was needed for StartAtStartup
- some users reported it as weird, that the estimated block count could be
lower than our own nodes block number (which is indeed true and not good)
- this pull adds a new default behaviour, which displays our own block
number as estimated block number, if own >= est. block count
- the pull raises space for nodes block counts in cPeerBlockCounts to 8 to
be more accurate
- also removes a reduntant setNumBlocks() call in RPCConsole and moves
initialisation of numBlocksAtStartup in ClientModel, where it belongs
- even if we are allowed to fail pre-allocating, it's better to check
for sufficient space before calling AllocateFileRange() and if we
are out of disk space return with error()
- the above change allows us to remove the CheckDiskSpace() check
in CBlock::AcceptBlock()
- use it for displaying URI parsing warnings
- use it for displaying error and information in backup wallet function
(the information display is new and the error was a warning before)
- cleanup BitcoinGUI::incomingTransaction()
-- use message() + the information icon from message
-- comment out an unused parameter in the function definition and
declaration
-- move all pre-checks at the beginning of the function
- this allows to setup the trayicon before we have and want a trayicon menu
- should be of great use, when we remove that splash screen
- fixes a small bug with the toggleHideAction icon, which is not only used with
trayicon but also with the Mac dock
- fix ThreadSafeMessageBox always displays error icon
- allow to specify MSG_ERROR / MSG_WARNING or MSG_INFORMATION without a
custom caption / title
- allow to specify CClientUIInterface::ICON_ERROR / ICON_WARNING and
ICON_INFORMATION (which is default) as message box icon
- remove CClientUIInterface::OK from ThreadSafeMessageBox-calls, as
the OK button will be set as default, if none is specified
- prepend "Bitcoin - " to used captions
- rename BitcoinGUI::error() -> BitcoinGUI::message() and add function
documentation
- change all style parameters and enum flags to unsigned
- update code to use that new API
- update Client- and WalletModel to use new BitcoinGUI::message() and
rename the classes error() method into message()
- include the possibility to supply the wanted icon for messages from
Client- and WalletModel via "style" parameter
- can be triggerd by just adding -proxy=crashme with 0.7.1
- crash occured, when AppInit2() was left with return false; after the
first call to bitdb.open() (Step 6 in init)
- this is caused by GetDataDir() or .string() in CDBEnv::EnvShutdown()
called via the bitdb global destructor
- init fDbEnvInit and fMockDb to false in CDBEnv::CDBEnv()
- remove an unwanted ";" at the end of the ~CCoinsView() destructor
- in FindBlockPos() and FindUndoPos() only call fclose(), is file is open
- fix an error string in the CBlockUndo class
- remove pathEnv from CDBEnv, as this attribute is not needed
- change path parameter in ::Open() to a reference
- make nDbCache variable an unsigned integer
- remove a missplaced ";" behin ::IsMock()
- this allows the client to listen on via -bind specified addresses
(e.g. 127.0.0.1), even when a network (IPv4 in that case) was blocked
via e.g -onlynet="Tor"
- introduce enum BindFlags to avoid passing multiple bools to Bind()
- make -bind help text clear we ALWAYS listen on the specified address
- remove an unused variable
- remove 2 unneeded IsLimited() checks before calling Bind(), which does
these checks anyway
- usage case: specify -bind=127.0.0.1 -onlynet="Tor" to allow incoming
connections to a Tor hidden service, but still don't allow other IPv4
nodes to connect / get connected
As memset() can be optimized out by a compiler it should not be used in
privacy/security relevant code parts. OpenSSL provides the safe
OPENSSL_cleanse() function in crypto.h, which perfectly does the job of
clean and overwrite data.
For details see: http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0178/
- change memset() to OPENSSL_cleanse() where appropriate
- change a hard-coded number from netbase.cpp into a sizeof()
- ensure header inclusion guard is named after the header file
- add missing comments at the end of some inclusion guards
- add a small Qt5 compatibility fix in macdockiconhandler.h
- add setStatusTip() in addition to setTooltip() where it makes sense
- add only setStatusTip() if GUI element is only used in main- or tray menu
- add an event filter on our BitcoinGUI object to prevent garbelled text
on the status bar, which happens when we use it for e.g. displaying
block-sync state and then a QEvent::StatusTip wants to write own text to it
- remove a double translation of "Bitcoin client"
- "ThreadIRCSeed started" was not displayed, even if the thread ran
(although only for a short time as the "do we want this thread?"-checks
happen IN ThreadIRCSeed2())
- the patch ensures we always get that message
- add a "ThreadIRCSeed trying to connect..." message
- add missing "ThreadDumpAddress started" message
- instead of "return false;" use "return QDialog::eventFilter(object,
event);" to harmonize this event filter with our default behaviour
- remove orphan spaces found while editting the files
- remove uiInterface.InitMessage() calls from ThreadImport(), as Qt
doesn't like them getting called out of it's main thread and because the
thread will continue to run after the GUI was loaded
- this patch enables several new GCC compiler hardening options that
allows us to increase the security of our binaries (see:
https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening)
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2:
Enables compile-time protection against static sized buffer overflows.
-Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now:
Enables full RELRO (RELocation Read-Only), which is a generic mitigation
technique to harden the data sections of an ELF binary/process. See:
http://isisblogs.poly.edu/2011/06/01/relro-relocation-read-only/ for
further details.
- don't rely on the QSettings for cases ProxyUse and ProxySocksVersion and
query the real values via the GetProxy() call
- add a missing "succesful =" for case ProxyUse in ::setData()
- fix#1560 by properly locking proxy related data-structures
- update GetProxy() and introduce GetNameProxy() to be able to use a
thread-safe local copy from proxyInfo and nameproxyInfo
- update usage of GetProxy() all over the source to match the new
behaviour, as it now fills a full proxyType object
- rename GetNameProxy() into HaveNameProxy() to be more clear
This patch currently excludes our Windows executable!
- change to use -fstack-protector-all
- the minimum size of buffers (i.e. arrays) that will receive stack
smashing protection was changed to 1 byte (GCC default: 8)
- warn about functions that will not be protected against stack
smashing by adding -Wstack-protector
- I checked every occurance of strprintf() in the code and used %u, where
unsigned vars are used
- the change to GetByte() was made, as ip is an unsigned char
- add version information to bitcoin-qt.rc, which is displayed on Windows, when looking in the executable properties and selecting "Details"
- introduce a new clientversion.h (used in bitcoin-qt.rc to generate
version information), which takes only the version defines from
version.h and is included in it (to allow usage with the windres rc-file
compiler)
- move #define STRINGIFY(s) #s into clientversion.h as that is used in
bitcoin-qt.rc and rename to DO_STRINGIZE(X)
- add #define STRINGIZE(X) DO_STRINGIZE(X), which is needed to convert the
version defines into a version string in the rc-file
- this ensures we only need to update 1 file and have bitcoin-qt.exe
version information
- for RC-file documentation see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa381058%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
- re-order Qt Actions and connect() calls to match the real GUI layout,
which makes things easier to read and understand
- remove signMessageAction and verifyMessageAction from tabGroup as we
didn't use them anyway (as tooltips are not displayed in the menu remove
these too)
- update 2 comments
- be clear we don't "Show/Hide Bitcoins", but just the client window
- remove the tooltip for toggleHideAction as this is not shown anyway
- update a comment to be more general
- add a new label, which can be updated independently from the whole
license information stuff
- the benefit is, we don't need to re-translate that whole wall of text
every year the copyright info changes
- update to the same copyright string we use in the source and in the
bitcoin-qt.exe meta-data information
- removes an obsolete entry from the ui-file
- for extra security on Windows: enable ASLR and DEP via GCC linker flags
GCC linker flag description:
--dynamicbase The image base address may be relocated using address space layout randomization (ASLR). This feature was introduced with MS Windows Vista for i386 PE targets.
--nxcompat The image is compatible with the Data Execution Prevention.
This feature was introduced with MS Windows XP SP2 for i386 PE targets.
- extend bitcoin-qt.rc to include meta information, which is displayed on
Windows, when looking in the executable properties and selecting
"Details"
- does currently NOT include version information, this is scheduled
for later releases
- for RC-file documentation see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa381058%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
- this enables DEP on all Windows version which support the
SetProcessDEPPolicy() call in Kernel32.dll
- use a dynamic approach via GetProcAddress() to not rely on headers or
compiler libs
- this is the same way the Tor-project does it
- add enableApplyButton() and disableApplyButton() to optionsdialog.{h/cpp}
- they are used to ensure the Ok button does not get disabled, when Apply needs to be disabled (standard UX should allow Ok always to dismiss the dialog and only disable it, when we have a faulty proxy IP)
- disable Apply after initially loading the settings, as nothing new needs to be saved
- remove orphan settings from optionsdialog.ui that are default anyway
