- outbound peers now have a rating
- it's also shown in the network status tab
- currently it's between -1 to +1, changes by 0.1 steps and uses a
hyperbolic function 0.05/(1.0 - rating) to convert rating to
probability with which we should connect to that node when randomly
chosen
- it increases when we successfully establish a full outbound connection
to a node, and decreases when we fail to do that
- onion nodes have priority when using SOCKS
- bugfixes
- UDP socket for local peer discovery
- new function assembleAddr to unify creating address command
- open port checker functionality (inactive)
- sendBigInv is done in a thread separate from the network IO
thread
- Network status UI works but current speed isn't implemented yet
- Track per connection and global transferred bytes
- Add locking to write queue so that other threads can put stuff
there
- send ping on timeout (instead of closing the connection)
- implement open port checker (untested, never triggered yet)
- error handling on IO
- most of the stuff is done so it partially works
- disabled pollers other than select (debugging necessary)
- can switch in the settings, section network, option asyncore (defaults
to False)
