2018-03-22Merge #11536: Rename account to label where appropriateWladimir J. van der Laan
d2527bd Rename wallet_accounts.py test (Russell Yanofsky) 045eeb8 Rename account to label where appropriate (Russell Yanofsky) Pull request description: Rename account to label where appropriate 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 that change 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. --- There is a rebased version of #7729 atop this PR at https://github.com/ryanofsky/bitcoin/commits/pr/label, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7729#issuecomment-338417139.

2018-03-22[config] Remove blockmaxsize optionJohn Newbery
The blockmaxsize option was marked as deprecated in V0.15.1, and code was added to convert provided blockmaxsize into blockmaxweight. However, this code was incorrectly implemented, and blockmaxsize was silently ignored. No users have complained about blockmaxsize being ignored, so just remove it in V0.17.

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.

be8ab7d08 Create new wallet databases as directories rather than files (Russell Yanofsky) 26c06f24e Allow wallet files not in -walletdir directory (Russell Yanofsky) d8a99f65e Allow wallet files in multiple directories (Russell Yanofsky) Pull request description: This change consists of three commits: * The first commit is a pure refactoring that removes the restriction that two wallets can only be opened at the same time if they are contained in the same directory. * The second commit removes the restriction that `-wallet` filenames can only refer to files in the `-walletdir` directory. * The third commit makes second commit a little safer by changing bitcoin to create wallet databases as directories rather than files, so they can be safely backed up. All three commits should be straightforward: * The first commit adds around 20 lines of new code and then updates a bunch of function signatures (generally updating them to take plain fs::path parameters, instead of combinations of strings, fs::paths, and objects like CDBEnv and CWalletDBWrapper). * The second commit removes two `-wallet` filename checks and adds some test cases to the multiwallet unit test. * The third commit just changes the mapping from specified wallet paths to bdb environment & data paths. --- **Note:** For anybody looking at this PR for the first time, I think you can skip the comments before _20 Nov_ and start reading at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11687#issuecomment-345625565. Comments before _20 Nov_ were about an earlier version of the PR that didn't include the third commit, and then confusion from not seeing the first commit.

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.
