This removes the getblocktemplate and its helpers from the codebase.
Ongoing mining updates focused on the voting/block validation process
with respect to generating block templates for getwork makes it the
better option for decred. Also getblocktemplate rpc was buggy and
has been disabled for a while.
Some lint related issues have been addressed as well.
This updates the main module to use the latest available minor and patch
versions of all modules and reverts the recent change that incorrectly
removed all of the blake256 references from the various go.sum files.
The following required direct dependencies are bumped as follows:
- github.com/decred/dcrd/blockchain/stake@v1.2.1
- github.com/decred/dcrd/blockchain/stake/v2@v2.0.1
- github.com/decred/dcrd/certgen@v1.1.0
- github.com/decred/dcrd/chaincfg@v1.5.2
- github.com/decred/dcrd/chaincfg/chainhash@v1.0.2
- github.com/decred/dcrd/chaincfg/v2@v2.2.0
- github.com/decred/dcrd/dcrutil/v2@v2.0.0
- github.com/decred/dcrd/gcs@v1.1.0
- github.com/decred/dcrd/hdkeychain/v2@v2.0.1
- github.com/decred/dcrd/txscript/v2@v2.0.0
- github.com/decred/dcrwallet/rpc/jsonrpc/types@v1.2.0
This updates the code to make use of the new crypto/blake256 module instead of
github.com/dchest/blake256.
* change the references in the chaincfg/chainhash and gcs modules
* update chaincfg/chainhash to use the new Sum256 API
* remove references to dchest/blake256 from all go.sum files
This commit introduces a new major version of the dcrjson module which
removes all dcrd RPC type support, instead focusing only on method and
type registration. The dcrd methods and types are moved to the
github.com/decred/dcrd/rpc/jsonrpc/types module.
In order to improve backwards compatibility with dcrjson/v2, the API
has been modified to register methods as interface{} instead of
string. This allows different method string types to be used to key
parameter types during registration and lookup, and will allow
dcrjson/v2 to forward registrations of RPC methods to v3 without
causing duplicate registrations errors for incompatible types.
With the introduction of the new types package, the RPC API has been
modified to replace concatenated hash blobs to JSON string arrays of
hash strings. The RPC API major version is bumped to reflect this
change.
A future update to dcrjson/v2 will add additional registrations,
forwarding the registrations to v3 and replacing command types with
type aliases where possible. Unfortunately, this can not be done
entirely in a single commit due to dcrjson/v2 and dcrjson/v3 sharing
the same directory in the source tree, and a branch will need to be
used for this update.
Module replacements are temporarily used to enable the changes for the
main module, including dcrctl. After the aforementioned update to
dcrjson/v2 and a forthcoming update to dcrwallet's RPC types package,
these replacements will be removed.
