This reverts commit e3dcf0ce1f, reversing
changes made to c71e9fdf2d.
Once again we had a broken new plugin that Travis CI and local building
didn't catch.
* Add flowchart illustration to blocks-first section to match new
headers-first flowchart
* Add new headers-first initial block download (IBD) section
* Revise Block Broadcasting section
* Add paragraph about orphan block handling in headers-first to the
Orphan Blocks section
* Ran `make manual-updates` to grab new summary
* Clarified that GHPS is part of 0.10.0 and is removed in master
* Autocrossref'd "Bitcoin Core master" to GitHub repo
* Removed GHPS from list of Mining RPCs now that it's in Removed RPCs
This commit provides a detailed overview of the current block download
method, which I've retroactively named blocks-first for parallelism with
headers-first.
New And Significantly Revised:
* New Initial Block Download (IBD) section (h3) with Blocks-First
subsection (h4)
* New Orphan Block subsection (under Blocks Broadcasting) describing
orphan blocks and how they're handled under blocks-first. Also
includes a simple illustration of the difference between orphan blocks
and stale blocks. Thanks to luke-jr for his s/orphan block/stale
block/ commit a couple months ago---that made this commit much easier.
Edits:
* Cleaned up a couple cases missed by previous s/orphan/stale/ commit
because they used past tense (orphaned).
* In P2P reference section, mentioned that a `block` message can be sent
unsolicited by miners.
* Mention that `getheaders` and `headers` were added in protocol
version 31800.
* Moved a few internal links around and added a few new internal links.
Administrivia:
* Started adding "TODOv0.10" in HTML comments to places that need to be
updated when 0.10 is released so that I can easily git grep for that
tag later.
* All previously-documented RPCs have had their text completely
rewritten.
* All new RPCs and changed RPCs in Bitcoin Core 0.10.0 have been
documented, except for hidden RPCs.
* A new RPC "Quick Reference" section has been added to make finding the
right RPC easier.
* A "See Also" subsection has been added to the end of every RPC
pointing to other relevant information.
* All previous examples in the RPC section have been re-run and updated
as necessary.
* Syntax highlighting has been added wherever possible.
* Hash byte order has been specified as RPC byte order everywhere it's
used in RPCs.
New material:
* Add documentation for `filterload` message to devref. This is the last
P2P protocol message which needed documentation.
* Add an example for creating a bloom filter to the devex, as well as an
example of checking data against that filter.
Edits:
* Change "object" to "element" in previous `filteradd` text. I decided
"transaction element" made more sense than the more generic "object".
Text should be fully consistent across both `filterload` and
`filteradd` descriptions.
* Mentioned that I think the example hexdump in the `alert` section is
public domain. (Only the hex is taken from the wiki; the annotation is
my own work.)
* Describes all remaining messages except filterload. Specificially, the
following messages are described: Addr, Alert, FilterAdd, FilterClear,
GetAddr, Ping, Pong, Reject, VerAck, and Version
* New makefile test: report broken markdown tables
* Put relevant protocol version changes at the top of all message
subsections.
Adds to the devel reference page detailed documentation on the following
messages: block, getblocks, getdata, getheaders, headers, inv, mempool,
merkleblock, notfound, and tx.
Adds to the devel examples page an example of requesting and parsing a
merkleblock message.
Adds to the devel docs overview pages links to the above two new
P2P sections.
Tweaks the autocrossref plugin ignore pattern to not crossref in the
middle of a GIF image name; this allows the inclusion of animated GIFs.
