the desktop sound theme, with pycanberra for example. Plugin name should
start with 'theme' in that case, whereas the name of plugins playing the
sound file starts with 'file'.
- don't treat "@" in label as an email address
- ask for confirmation before autoregistering. It confused some
newbies into thinking that bitmessage requires payment
- calling "shutdown" now cleanly shuts down PyBitmessage, however the
call may not return so you need to add an error handler to the call.
With python for example, wrap the "shutdown()" in
"try:/except socket.error"
- allow loopback addresses, now you can bind different loopback IP
addresses on a single system and they will auto-cross-connect
- always listen for discovery on 0.0.0.0
- [network] - bind now also applies for the TCP socket as well as UDP
socket
- closing socket iterator fix
- get rid of per-connection writeQueue/receiveQueue, and instead use
strings and locking
- minor code cleanup
- all state handlers now should set expectBytes
- almost all data processing happens in ReceiveDataThread, and
AsyncoreThread is almost only I/O (plus TLS). AsyncoreThread simply
puts the connection object into the queue when it has some data for
processing
- allow poll, epoll and kqueue handlers. kqueue is untested and
unoptimised, poll and epoll seem to work ok (linux)
- stack depth threshold handler in decode_payload_content, this is
recursive and I think was causing occasional RuntimeErrors. Fixes#964
- longer asyncore loops, as now data is handled in ReceiveDataThread
- randomise node order when deciding what to download. Should prevent
retries being stuck to the same node
- socks cleanup (socks5 works ok, socks4a untested but should work too)
- implemented by ignoring getdata during the delay rather than sleeping
as it was in the threaded model
- it can happen that a valid getdata request is received during the
delay. A node should be implemented in a way that retries to download,
that may not be the case with older PyBitmessage versions or other
implementations
- now tracks downloads globally too, so it doesn't request the same
object from multiple peers at the same time
- retries at the earliest every minute
- stops trying to download an object after an hour
- minor fixes in retrying downloading invalid objects
- 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
- this thread is for spreading new/updated addresses in active
connections, analogous to the InvThread
- it doesn't do anything yet, this is just a dummy queue at the moment
- not used yet, just an inactive helper function
- I received feedback that OpenSSL.rand isn't more secure than
os.urandom. I read several debates/analyses about it and concur
- should prevent the same object being re-requested indefinitely
- locking for object tracking
- move SSL-specific error handling to TLSDispatcher
- observe maximum connection limit when accepting a new connection
- stack depth test (for debugging purposes)
- separate download thread
- connection pool init moved to main thread
- update to 6044df5adf
- objects that are expired or in wrong stream are not re-requested
anymore, even if they aren't stored in the inventory
- the previous option "acceptmismatch" now only affects whether such
objects are stored in the inventory
- a new config file option, network/acceptmismatch, allows the inventory
to store objects that expired or are from a stream we're not
interested in. Having this on will prevent re-requesting objects that
other nodes incorrectly advertise. It defaults to false
- better handling of WSA* checks on non-windows systems
- handle EBADF on Windows/select
- better timeouts / loop lengths in main asyncore loop and
spawning new connections
- remove InvThread prints
- asyncore is now on by default
- inv announcements implemented
- bandwidth limit implemented / fixed
- stats on download / upload speed now work
- make prints into logger
- limit knownNodes to 20k as it was before
- green light fixed
- other minor fixes
- bm headers and commands are only read up to expected length.
On a very fast connection (e.g. local VM), reading verack
also read a part of the TLS handshake
- some debugging info moved from print to logger.debug
- tls handshake cleanup
- 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
- separate queue for processing blocking stuff on reception
- rewrote write buffer as a queue
- some addr handling
- number of half open connections correct
- 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)
- bmconfigpaser.py now allows to put default values for a specific
option in the file
- addresses as sections are now detected by "BM-" rather than
just ignoring bitmessagesettings. There can now be other sections
with a cleaner config file
- in some cases when IPv6 stack is available and onionbindip is an IPv4
address, socket.bind doesn't change the bound address, ending up
listening on everything
- immediately return from initCL() if numpy or pyopencl is unevailable
(no ImportError because of resetPoW() call)
- use glob to find C extension even if it named like
`bitmsghash.x86_64-linux-gnu.so`
If user chooses to show the Settings dialog:
- activate the "Network Settings" tab
- remove option 'dontconnect' if settings have been saved
- track pending hashId more accurately
- add timeout and a cleanup so that the download queues don't
get stuck and memory is freed
- randomise download order (only works for inv commands with
more than 1 entry)
- replace PendingDownload singleton dict with a Queue
- total memory and CPU requirements should be reduced
- get rid of somObjectsOfWhichThisRemoteNodeIsAlearedyAware. It has very
little practicle effect and only uses memory
- if too many nodes, only delete oldest nodes in bootstrap provider
mode, in normal mode ignore new nodes as it used to before
- in bootstrap provider mode, penalise nodes announced by others by 1
day instead of 3 hours
- version command struct for faster unpacking
- increase read buffer to 2MB to allow a full command to fit
- initial bitmessage protocol class (WIP)
- error handling
- remove duplicate method
- finished proxy design
- socks4a and socks5 implemented
- authentication not tested
- resolver for both socks4a and socks5
- http client example using the proxy
