Fixes#118
- changed almost all "print" into logger
- threads have nicer names
- logger can have configuration in "logger.dat" in the same directory as
"keys.dat", and the logger will pick the one named "default" to replace
the "console" and "file" that are in PyBitmessage otherwise
Example file for logging to syslog:
[loggers]
keys = root,syslog
[logger_root]
level=NOTSET
handlers=syslog
[logger_syslog]
level=DEBUG
handlers=syslog
qualname=default
[handlers]
keys = syslog
[handler_syslog]
class = handlers.SysLogHandler
formatter = syslog
level = DEBUG
args=(('localhost', handlers.SYSLOG_UDP_PORT),
handlers.SysLogHandler.LOG_LOCAL7)
[formatters]
keys = syslog
[formatter_syslog]
format=%(asctime)s %(threadName)s %(filename)s@%(lineno)d %(message)s
datefmt=%b %d %H:%M:%S
Python < 2.7.9 does not support anonymous SSL server through
ssl.wrap_socket, so we have to disable it. Works fine as client.
Try to prefer secp256k1 curve (again, requires python >= 2.7.9)
Bitmessage will now notify you if it encounters someone with a newer
version. Takes into account that it should not recommend switching from
stable to unstable and vice versa. Also, temporarily treats 0.5 as a
mailchuck fork.
Fixes#43
Demote payloadLength from class instance variable to processData local variable as no other function was using it
Improve processData:
-Utilise shared.Header
-Use a memoryview to reduce memory overhead
-Clean up variables before a recursive call
-Strip null bytes from command
Refactor sendData
Various functions:
-Use shared.CreatePacket to generate packets
Fix typo in _checkIPv4Address
It will now listen on an IPv6 socket if possible or fall back to IPv4
if that doesn't work. It will no longer filter out all IPv6 addresses
and instead it will only filter out those that point to the local
network.
It looks like the DNS bootstrapping should just automatically work
because getaddrinfo already returns IPv6 addresses from the AAAA
record.
In order to convert from the ASCII representation of IPv6 addresses
and back we need inet_ntop and inet_pton. Python 2 doesn't currently
provide these for Windows so instead this patch provides a hot patch
to the socket module which wraps WSAStringToAddress and
WSAAddressToString using ctypes.
If this option is specified in keys.dat then Bitmessage will connect
to the host specified there instead of connecting to the hosts in the
list of known nodes. It will also stop listening for incoming
connections and the timing attack mitigation will be disabled.
The expected use case is for example where a user is running a daemon
on a dedicated machine in their local network and they occasionally
want to check for messages using a second instance of the client on
their laptop. In that case it would be much faster to catch up with
the messages by directly downloading from the dedicated machine over
the LAN. There is no need to connect to multiple peers or to do the
timing attack mitigation because the daemon is trusted.
The host is specified as hostname:port. Eg, ‘192.168.1.8:8444’.
