This downgrade changes StakePoolTicketFee back to the version which does
not consider DCP-0012 activation.
This resolves an issue where Decrediton sometimes fails to pay VSP fees,
caused by Decrediton and vspd independently calculating the fee amount
using different versions of the algorithm.
Releasing the new algorithm will need to be more carefully coordinated,
potentially requiring both client and server sides to be updated in
sync.
If broadcasting parent transaction of a ticket fails because it
references unknown outputs, there is a good chance that waiting a few
seconds will resolve the issue because the ancestor transactions will
propagate through the network and reach the mempool of the local dcrd
instance.
A new tab on the admin page displays a list of all tickets which were
registered with the VSP but missed their votes. Clicking on the ticket
hash redirects to the Ticket Search tab with the details of the missed
ticket displayed.
When invoked with -v, curl actually outputs a message to indicate that
this extra param is unnecessary:
"Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, GET is already inferred."
The more verbose name was helpful in the past when some code was
handling more than one waitgroup, however that is no longer the case due
to refactoring so reverting to the more concise name makes sense.
Create the shutdown context earlier so process begins handling shutdown
signals earlier. Specifically, the context should be created before
creating any resources which need a graceful shutdown such as the
database. This is important because without explicit signal handling the
process will terminate immediately upon receiving a signal without
running deferred tasks.
This splits the code from vspd.go into various other files which broadly
represent the functional areas of vspd - the main update function,
database intgrity checks and voting wallet consistency checks.
Code is just moved without any modifications.
The name blockConnected is not very accurate as this function is also
called when vspd is initializing. It doesnt depend on a block having
been connected at all, it can be called at any time.
Give the debug banner a unique look by changing its class to "danger",
and centering and bolding the text. This helps it to be more noticable
when displayed near other banners.
Rather than immediately returning an error if the cache is not
initialized, attempt to initialize it first. Without this change there
is only an attempt to initialize the cache once per minute.
A new middleware aborts any requests which require the data cache if the
cache is not yet initialized. An explicit error is returned so the admin
will be immediately aware what has gone wrong.
Previously, webpages were rendered and JSON responses were sent with
zero values, and with no indication of anything being wrong. This was
sometimes difficult to notice, and even when noticed the cause was not
immediately apparent.
Go 1.14 added runtime support for handling the windows CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT,
CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT, and CTRL_SHUTDOWN_EVENT events by adding a definition
for syscall.SIGTERM to windows and converting the events to that signal.
It also added definitions for other common signals, including SIGHUP,
and treats them as NOOPs on windows.
Consequently, this modifies the logic that deals with conditionally
handling SIGTERM and SIGHUP to handle them for windows as well as all
unix-like operating systems, including newer ones that are supported by
Go since the code was originally written.
Although the additional signals could probably just be added
unconditionally without too much issue now due to the runtime adding
stubs to all operating systems the project officially supports, it is
safer to be explicit when dealing with syscall definitions since there
is no guarantee that they will exist for newly-added operating systems.
Upgrade the dcrwallet dependency to pick up the new version of
txrules.StakePoolTicketFee which considers the status of DCP0012 in its
fee calculation.
