LBRY CREDITS (LBC) PRE RELEASE WALLET v0.20.0rc14

[0.20.0rc14] - 2018-06-09

Fixed

fix prm/brm typo
handling error from dht clients with old ping method
blobs not being re-announced if no peers successfully stored, now failed announcements are re-queued
issue where an AuthAPIClient (used by lbrynet-cli) would fail to update its session secret and keep making new auth sessions, with every other request failing
use_auth_http in a config file being overridden by the default command line argument to lbrynet-daemon, now the command line value will only override the config file value if it is provided
lbrynet-cli not automatically switching to the authenticated client if the server is detected to be using authentication. This resulted in lbrynet-cli failing to run when lbrynet-daemon was run with the --http-auth flag
fixed error when using claim_show with txid and nout arguments

Changed

updated default lbryum servers to use lbryumx
refactor add_completed_blobs on storage.py, simplifying into less queries
check headers file integrity on startup, removing/truncating the file to force re-download when necessary
support partial headers file download from S3
changed txrequests for treq
changed cryptography version to 2.2.2
removed pycrypto dependency, replacing all calls to cryptography
full verification of streams only during migration instead of every startup
database batching functions for starting up the file manager
several internal dht functions to use inlineCallbacks
DHTHashAnnouncer and Node manage functions to use LoopingCalls instead of scheduling with callLater.
store kademlia rpc method to block on the call finishing and to return storing peer information
refactored DHTHashAnnouncer to no longer use locks, use a DeferredSemaphore to limit concurrent announcers
decoupled DiskBlobManager from DHTHashAnnouncer
blob hashes to announce to be controlled bySQLiteStorage
kademlia protocol to minimally delay writes to the UDP socket
reactor and callLater, listenUDP, and resolve functions to be configurable (to allow easier testing)
calls to get the current time to use reactor.seconds (to control callLater and LoopingCall timing in tests)
blob_announce to queue the blob announcement but not block on it
blob completion to not callLater an immediate announce, let SQLiteStorage and the DHTHashAnnouncer handle it
raise the default number of concurrent blob announcers to 100
dht logging to be more verbose with errors and warnings
added single_announce and last_announced_time columns to the blob table in sqlite
pass the sd hash to reflector ClientFactory instead of looking it up
if the use_authentication setting is configured, use authentication for all api methods instead of only those with the auth_required decorator
regenerate api keys on startup if the using authentication
support both positional and keyword args for api calls
peer_list to return a list of dictionaries instead of a list of lists, added peer node ids to the results
download blockchain headers from s3 before starting the wallet when the local height is more than s3_headers_depth (a config setting) blocks behind
track successful reflector uploads in sqlite to minimize how many streams are attempted by auto re-reflect
increase the default auto_re_reflect_interval to a day
predictable result sorting for claim_list and claim_list_mine
changed the bucket splitting condition in the dht routing table to be more aggressive
ping dht nodes who have stored to us periodically to determine whether we should include them as an active peer for the hash when we are queried. Nodes that are known to be not reachable by the node storing the record are no longer returned as peers by the storing node.
temporarily disabled data price negotiation, treat all data as free
changed dht bootstrap join process to better populate the routing table initially
cache dht node tokens used during announcement to minimize the number of requests that are needed
implement BEP0005 dht rules to classify nodes as good, bad, or unknown and for when to add them to the routing table (http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0005.html)
refactored internal dht contact class to track failure counts/times, the time the contact last replied to us, and the time the node last requested something fom us
refactored dht iterativeFind
sort dht contacts returned by findCloseNodes in the routing table
disabled Cryptonator price feed

Added

virtual kademlia network and mock udp transport for dht integration tests
functional tests for bootstrapping the dht, announcing and expiring hashes, finding and pinging nodes, protocol version 0/1 backwards/forwards compatibility, and rejoining the network
configurable concurrent_announcers and s3_headers_depth settings
peer_ping command
--sort option in file_list
linux distro and desktop name added to analytics
certifi module for Twisted SSL verification on Windows
protocol version to dht requests and to the response from findValue
added port field to contacts returned by routing_table_get

Removed

announce_all argument from blob_announce
old blob_announce_all command
AuthJSONRPCServer.auth_required decorator
unused --wallet argument to lbrynet-daemon, which used to be to support PTCWallet.

OptimizedTreeRoutingTable class used by the dht node for the time being

LBRY CREDITS (LBC) Final Release Wallet v 0.20.0

TL;DR

This milestone release includes a large number of bug fixes, changes and additions covering all aspects of the daemon. Notable improvements include:

Faster and more reliable downloading and uploading of content resulting from substantial work done on the Distributed Hash Table algorithms and protocol.
Faster blockchain synchronization (headers) by downloading them from Amazon S3 under certain conditions.
Faster overall app startup due to better optimized SQL queries.
Power users of the lbrynet-cli will benefit from many bug fixes to commonly used commands and improvements in sorting of output.
Please review the full change log for more details on specific fixes, changes and additions.
