* Some local pickle operations and non-cryptographic random operations
were marked as safe to the bandit linter
* A bandit config file was added and assert warnings are now ignored globally
* Tightened up exception handling and code style
- networkDefaultProofOfWorkNonceTrialsPerByte and
networkDefaultPayloadLengthExtraBytes cyclic import fix
- PyBitmessage should launch now when there's no keys.dat
- fixes errors introduced in the earlier refactoring
- more variables moved to state.py
- path finding functions moved to paths.py
- remembers IPv6 network unreachable (in the future can be used to skip
IPv6 for a while)
- got rid of shared config parser and made it into a singleton
- refactored safeConfigGetBoolean as a method of the config singleton
- refactored safeConfigGet as a method of the config singleton
- moved softwareVersion from shared.py into version.py
- moved some global variables from shared.py into state.py
- moved some protocol-specific functions from shared.py into protocol.py
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’.
- place image named 'default.*' to display a generic user icon as fallback
- place image named '[Broadcast Subscribers].*' to set the icon for broadcasts
Unfortunately, I didn't manage to automatically provide all the languages that are available as *.qm files. By now we have to manually set the combobox items and the list for the languages in the bitmessageqt/__init__.py
I've set it to degrade to language codes in both the user-set locale and the imported default locale, e.g. if there is no 'en_US' then use 'en' (like grant olsons commit).
