It's mostly a +major code cleanup, but it still needs a lot of post-merge testing. The sooner +it gets in the master branch, the more testing of unexpected cases that it +will get before final. Also, Matt's been working hard to keep rebasing it +throughout the 0.6 merge window, which is very difficult since it conflicts +with pretty much every other change. As one of the parties responsible for +those other changes, I vote to get the big conflict over with and rebase all +the simpler stuff afterward. + +Next up are some changes already ACK'd for 0.7: Hearn's "pong" message (#932) +and Wladimir's Visual C++ 2010 fixes (#949). getmemorypool BIP standardization +(#936) is also ACK'd, but it might be good to wait until later in the merge +window considering its low impact and high potential for change as the BIP +gets closer to Accepted status. + +For similar reasons as CBlockStore, I feel multithreaded JSON-RPC with keep- +alive support (#568) should be merged sooner rather than later. It's long +overdue for bitcoind having had a lot of testing, and pretty much required for +any sort of high-volume bitcoind usage (such as solo mining). Some other +optimizations by Joel such as the optimized ToHex function (#562) and +FastGetWork (#565) have also had plenty of testing; all combined, these +optimizations more than double the performance of JSON-RPC. +Details: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/565#issuecomment-3269334 + +Pieter's getalltransactions (#841) and my getblock_full (#886) provide what is +needed to completely replace Jeff's old dumpblock call with bitcoind's new +getblock. He also put together a -loadblock option (#883) which has proven +quite handy for development, and -walletupgrade (#974) seems like a good idea. + +Under the hood, Chris has some neat refactoring of the coin selection +algorithm (#905, #898), and I haven't had any problems using it in next-test +for a few weeks now. Michael has contributed a patch to get the standard +reopen-log-files-on-SIGHUP (#917). Matt noticed the protocol documentation on +the wiki and BitcoinJ both expect the 'getheaders' message to return at most +only 2000 headers, so recommends we enforce that in the core (#951). Philip +has a trivial flip to the backslashes in debug.log for Windows (#971). Some +p2pool miners put up a bounty for a JSON-RPC call to customize fee +requirements (#989) that would help make Bitcoin more decentralized. + +Scott has a pull request for Bitcoin-Qt to behave more like other close-to- +systray applications by toggling the hide/show action (#855). He's also +contributed a patch to show miners' immature balances on the overview screen +(#837; it leaves only a blank space for non-miners). Nils, on the other hand, +has been working with a UI designer to totally remodel Bitcoin-Qt. + +Coderrr has rebased his Coin Control features (#415) to the latest version. +These seem to be popular, so should probably be merged as soon as it's had +proper review. + +Finally, I don't know the status of Pieter's IPv6 support, but I hope it will +be ready for 0.7. Right now all I see submitted for this is support for +multiple local IPs (#829) though. + +I'd like to see Coinbaser (#719) finally get merged, but since it seems nobody +is using bitcoind for mining anymore, I guess there isn't a real need. I don't +plan to rebase this anymore unless someone gives it a "I'll merge it" sign. + +Luke + + |
