* params, VERSION: v1.8.4 unstable * core/vm: Fixed typos in core/vm/interpreter.go * light: new CHT for ropsten (ethereum#16393) * whisper: fix issue in topic list copy (ethereum#16381) - Fixes ethereum#16271. What was appeneded was a pointer to an object that changes during the iteration. - The topic is allocated as a 4-byte array, fill partial topics with 0s. Partial topics are currently disabled, but would crash as they rely on the presence of byte number 3. * core/state: uniform parameter style (ethereum#16398) - Uniform code style. * core/state: rework dirty handling to avoid quadratic overhead * core/state: avoid linear overhead on journal dirty listing * travis.yml: remove sudo requirement for PPA and Azure purge builders (ethereum#16404) This is supposed to fix the FTP upload issue according to travis-ci/travis-ci#9391. * .gitattributes: enable solidity highlighting on github (ethereum#16425) * crypto/secp256k1: catch curve parameter parse errors (ethereum#16392) * core/state: avoid redundant addition to code size cache (ethereum#16427) * cmd/geth: remove relOracle variable (ethereum#16434) * eth: fix typos (ethereum#16414) * accounts/abi: improve test coverage (ethereum#16044) * README: change 'built in' to 'built-in' * core/types: remove String methods from struct types (ethereum#16205) Most of these methods did not contain all the relevant information inside the object and were not using a similar formatting type. Moreover, the existence of a suboptimal String method breaks usage with more advanced data dumping tools like go-spew. * Dockerfile: use non-privileged user account (ethereum#16052) * cmd/geth: update template for 'geth bug' command (ethereum#16350) * cmd/evm: print vm output when debug flag is on (ethereum#16326) * bmt: fix comment typos (ethereum#16461) * ethclient: remove empty object in newHeads subscription call (ethereum#16454) * compression/rle: delete RLE compression (ethereum#16468) * eth/downloader: flush state sync data before exit (ethereum#16280) * state: handle nil in journal dirties * core: add blockchain benchmarks * cmd/puppeth: fix node deploys for updated dockerfile user * Dockerfile.alltools: fix invalid command * common: delete StringToAddress, StringToHash (ethereum#16436) * common: delete StringToAddress, StringToHash These functions are confusing because they don't parse hex, but use the bytes of the string. This change removes them, replacing all uses of StringToAddress(s) by BytesToAddress([]byte(s)). * eth/filters: remove incorrect use of common.BytesToAddress * build: add -e and -X flags to get more information on ethereum#16433 (ethereum#16443) * core: remove stray account creations in state transition (ethereum#16470) The 'from' and 'to' methods on StateTransitions are reader methods and shouldn't have inadvertent side effects on state. It is safe to remove the check in 'from' because account existence is implicitly checked by the nonce and balance checks. If the account has non-zero balance or nonce, it must exist. Even if the sender account has nonce zero at the start of the state transition or no balance, the nonce is incremented before execution and the account will be created at that time. It is safe to remove the check in 'to' because the EVM creates the account if necessary. Fixes ethereum#15119 * travis, appveyor: bump to Go 1.10.1 * travis.yml: add TEST_PACKAGES to speed up swarm testing (ethereum#16456) This commit is meant to allow ecosystem projects such as ethersphere to minimize CI build times by specifying an environment variable with the packages to run tests on. If the environment variable isn't defined the build script will test all packages so this shouldn't affect the main go-ethereum repository. * les: add ps.lock.Unlock() before return (ethereum#16360) * core/state: fix bug in copy of copy State * core/state: fix ripemd-cornercase in Copy * core: txpool stable underprice drop order, perf fixes * miner: remove contention on currentMu for pending data retrievals (ethereum#16497) * ethdb: add leveldb write delay statistic (ethereum#16499) * eth/downloader: wait for all fetcher goroutines to exit before terminating (ethereum#16509) * cmd/clef, signer: initial poc of the standalone signer (ethereum#16154) * signer: introduce external signer command * cmd/signer, rpc: Implement new signer. Add info about remote user to Context * signer: refactored request/response, made use of urfave.cli * cmd/signer: Use common flags * cmd/signer: methods to validate calldata against abi * cmd/signer: work on abi parser * signer: add mutex around UI * cmd/signer: add json 4byte directory, remove passwords from api * cmd/signer: minor changes * cmd/signer: Use ErrRequestDenied, enable lightkdf * cmd/signer: implement tests * cmd/signer: made possible for UI to modify tx parameters * cmd/signer: refactors, removed channels in ui comms, added UI-api via stdin/out * cmd/signer: Made lowercase json-definitions, added UI-signer test functionality * cmd/signer: update documentation * cmd/signer: fix bugs, improve abi detection, abi argument display * cmd/signer: minor change in json format * cmd/signer: rework json communication * cmd/signer: implement mixcase addresses in API, fix json id bug * cmd/signer: rename fromaccount, update pythonpoc with new json encoding format * cmd/signer: make use of new abi interface * signer: documentation * signer/main: remove redundant option * signer: implement audit logging * signer: create package 'signer', minor changes * common: add 0x-prefix to mixcaseaddress in json marshalling + validation * signer, rules, storage: implement rules + ephemeral storage for signer rules * signer: implement OnApprovedTx, change signing response (API BREAKAGE) * signer: refactoring + documentation * signer/rules: implement dispatching to next handler * signer: docs * signer/rules: hide json-conversion from users, ensure context is cleaned * signer: docs * signer: implement validation rules, change signature of call_info * signer: fix log flaw with string pointer * signer: implement custom 4byte databsae that saves submitted signatures * signer/storage: implement aes-gcm-backed credential storage * accounts: implement json unmarshalling of url * signer: fix listresponse, fix gas->uint64 * node: make http/ipc start methods public * signer: add ipc capability+review concerns * accounts: correct docstring * signer: address review concerns * rpc: go fmt -s * signer: review concerns+ baptize Clef * signer,node: move Start-functions to separate file * signer: formatting * light: new CHTs (ethereum#16515) * params: release Geth v1.8.4 * VERSION, params: begin v1.8.5 release cycle * build: enable goimports and varcheck linters (ethereum#16446) * core/asm: remove unused condition (ethereum#16487) * cmd/utils: fix help template issue for subcommands (ethereum#16351) * rpc: clean up IPC handler (ethereum#16524) This avoids logging accept errors on shutdown and removes a bit of duplication. It also fixes some goimports lint warnings. * core/asm: accept uppercase instructions (ethereum#16531) * all: fix various typos (ethereum#16533) * fix typo * fix typo * fix typo * rpc: handle HTTP response error codes (ethereum#16500) * whisper/whisperv6: post returns the hash of sent message (ethereum#16495) * ethclient: add DialContext and Close (ethereum#16318) DialContext allows users to pass a Context object for cancellation. Close closes the underlying RPC connection. * vendor: update elastic/gosigar so that it compiles on OpenBSD (ethereum#16542) * eth/downloader: fix for Issue ethereum#16539 (ethereum#16546) * params: release Geth v1.8.5 - Dirty Derivative² * VERSION, params: begin Geth 1.8.6 release cycle * cmd/geth: update the copyright year in the geth command usage (ethereum#16537) * Revert "Dockerfile.alltools: fix invalid command" * Revert "cmd/puppeth: fix node deploys for updated dockerfile user" * Dockerfile: revert the user change PR that broke all APIs * Dockerfile: drop legacy discovery v5 port mappings * params: release v1.8.6 to fix docker images * VERSION, params: begin release cycle 1.8.7 * cmd/geth, mobile: add memsize to pprof server (ethereum#16532) * cmd/geth, mobile: add memsize to pprof server This is a temporary change, to be reverted before the next release. * cmd/geth: fix variable name * core/types: avoid duplicating transactions on changing signer (ethereum#16435) * core/state: cache missing storage entries (ethereum#16584) * cmd/utils: point users to --syncmode under DEPRECATED (ethereum#16572) Indicate that --light and --fast options are replaced by --syncmode * trie: remove unused `buf` parameter (ethereum#16583) * core, eth: fix tracer dirty finalization * travis.yml: remove obsolete brew-cask install * whisper: Golint fixes in whisper packages (ethereum#16637) * vendor: fix leveldb crash when bigger than 1 TiB * core: ensure local transactions aren't discarded as underpriced This fixes an issue where local transactions are discarded as underpriced when the pool and queue are full. * evm/main: use blocknumber from genesis * accounts: golint updates for this or self warning (ethereum#16627) * tests: golint fixes for tests directory (ethereum#16640) * trie: golint iterator fixes (ethereum#16639) * internal: golint updates for this or self warning (ethereum#16634) * core: golint updates for this or self warning (ethereum#16633) * build: Add ldflags -s -w when building aar Smaller size on mobile is always good. Might also solve our maven central upload problem * cmd/clef: documentation about setup (ethereum#16568) clef: documentation about setup * params: release geth 1.8.7 * Zero Block Reward Post Byzantium * Remove Difficulty Bomb * 1 Second Block * Lower Minimum Difficulty (#4) * 1 Second Blocks (#5) * Lower Minimum Difficulty * One Second Blocks * Lower minimum difficulty (#6) * Enable geth compile.solidity for rpc (#7)
