2019-03-04doc: Merge release notes fragmentsWladimir J. van der Laan
- Merge release notes fragments into release-notes.md - Remove downgrading notes (as I understand this pertains to `<0.15`, this doesn't warrant mentioning anymore) Tree-SHA512: 839e30807651ff53efa713f707ba0744c6c6c9bcb2c9c8afc0e299c93f772cc9a0ef294ba7e15f7049280556404d9b2e96b74f28e456aa36130af05bc7cfe035

2018-07-05RPC: Add new getzmqnotifications method.Daniel Kraft
This adds a new RPC method "getzmqnotifications", which returns information about all active ZMQ notification endpoints. This is useful for software that layers on top of bitcoind, so it can verify that ZeroMQ is enabled and also figure out where it should listen. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/13526.

2018-05-03Merge #12729: Get rid of ambiguous OutputType::NONE valueWladimir J. van der Laan
1e46d8a Get rid of ambiguous OutputType::NONE value (Russell Yanofsky) Pull request description: Based on suggestion by @sipa https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12119#issuecomment-357982763 After #12119, the NONE output type was overloaded to refer to either an output type that couldn't be parsed, or to an automatic change output mode. This change drops the NONE enum and uses a simple bool to indicate parse failure, and a new CHANGE_AUTO enum to refer the change output type. This change is almost a pure refactoring except it makes RPCs reject empty string ("") address types instead of treating them like they were unset. This simplifies the parsing code a little bit and could prevent RPC usage mistakes. It's noted in the release notes.

This is a pointless feature. As it only works when all private keys are in one place, it's useless compared to single key outputs (P2PK, P2PKH, P2WPKH, P2SH-P2WPKH), and worse in terms of space, cost, UTXO size, and ability to test (due to lack of address format for them). Furthermore, they are problematic in that producing a list of all `scriptPubKeys` we accept is not tractable (it involves all combinations of all public keys that are ours). In further wallet changes I'd like to move to a model where all scriptPubKeys that are treated as ours are explicit, rather than defined by whatever keys we have. The current behavior of the wallet is very hard to model in such a design, so I'd like to get rid of it. I think there are two options: * Remove it entirely (do not ever accept bare multisig outputs as ours, unless watched) * Only accept bare multisig outputs in situations where the P2SH version of that output would also be acceptable This PR implements the first option. The second option was explored in #12874. Tree-SHA512: 917ed45b3cac864cee53e27f9a3e900390c576277fbd6751b1250becea04d692b3b426fa09065a3399931013bd579c4f3dbeeb29d51d19ed0c64da75d430ad9a

2018-03-19Rename account to label where appropriateRussell Yanofsky
This change only updates strings and adds RPC aliases, but should simplify the implementation of address labels in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7729, by getting renaming out of the way and letting it focus on semantics. The difference between accounts and labels is that labels apply only to addresses, while accounts apply to both addresses and transactions (transactions have "from" and "to" accounts). The code associating accounts with transactions is clumsy and unreliable so we would like get rid of it.

This comes with at least two drawbacks: * In case of duplicate keys, either of them might silently disappear, with no user feedback at all. A user needs to make other mistakes, but this could eventually lead to abnormal tx fees. * A dictionary does not guarantee that keys are sorted. Again, a user needs to keep this in mind, as it could eventually lead to excessive tx fees. Even though my scenario of loss-of-funds is unlikely to happen, I see it as a inconvenience that should be fixed.

2018-03-03Create new wallet databases as directories rather than filesRussell Yanofsky
This change should make it easier for users to make complete backups of wallets because they can now just back up the specified `-wallet=<path>` path directly, instead of having to back up the specified path as well as the transaction log directory (for incompletely flushed wallets). Another advantage of this change is that if two wallets are located in the same directory, they will now use their own BerkeleyDB environments instead using a shared environment. Using a shared environment makes it difficult to manage and back up wallets separately because transaction log files will contain a mix of data from all wallets in the environment.

2018-01-18Don't allow relative -walletdir pathsRussell Yanofsky
Also warn if bitcoind is configured to use a relative -datadir path. Specifying paths relative to the current working directory in a daemon process can be dangerous, because files can fail to be located even if the configuration doesn't change, but the daemon is started up differently. Specifying a relative -datadir now adds a warning to the debug log. It would not be backwards-compatible to forbid relative -datadir paths entirely, and it could also be also inconvenient for command line testing. Specifying a relative -walletdir now results in a startup error. But since the -walletdir option is new in 0.16.0, there should be no compatibility issues. Another reason not to use working directory paths for -walletdir specifically is that the default -walletdir is a "wallets" subdirectory inside the datadir, so it could be surprising that setting -walletdir manually would choose a directory rooted in a completely different location.
