* Beginning work on pool design doc
* Refining data structures; adding connect capability
* Fleshing out the connectivity paths for the tx pool
* Bringing tx pool and orphan set add logic up into parent TransactionPool
* Use output's commitment as identifier in graph structures
* Breaking a bunch of stuff to start migration to output commitment as id instead of hash
* Wrapping up updates to pool using commitment keys, dummy blockchain. Contains lots of cleanup on the internal flow.
* Beginning work on new block reconciliation
* WIP: Replacing monolithic pool cleanup with mark-and-sweep, which greatly simplifies the logic.
* Laying the groundwork for pool tests; test tx generator
* WIP: More elaborate test helpers; starting work on more elaborate block acceptance test.
* Need DummyUtxoSet to actually apply blocks now
* Using search_for_best_output to validate output status in test_basic_pool_add
* Enable modification of chain while under shared pool ownership. Cleanup pending
* WIP: Begining to untangle the TransactionPool impl from Pool and Orphans data structures
* Finishing refactoring of pool block reconciliaition; getting tests working again
* Add metrics for graph sizes; prereq to pool size throttling
* Remove redundant search_for_available_output from pool graph container
* Minimum viable block builder: return all fully rooted txs
* Tests for block building procedure
* Delegate duplicate output checking to check_duplicate_outputs
* Delegate orphan reference resolution to resolve_orphan_refs
Builds codecs to encode and decode blocks, block headers, transactions, kernels, etc. Will be used by the store and peer-to-peer layer for serialization, but also to compute hashes. Separates out serialization from core.
* core: cleanup slicing impls for Hash
* core: clean up Readable trait, implement Readable/Writeable for various integers
* core: change Hash debug output to hex
* core: correct warnings in all modules
* Replace AsFixedBytes with Sized + AsRef<[u8]>
* Add AsRef<u8> to impl_array_newtype!
* Include AsFixedBytes as marker trait
* Related fixes
* Remove Deref
Block, Output and Kernel now have bitmasks to hold supported
features and eventually versioning. Will make adding features and
updates easier and open the possibility of soft forks.
First added feature for Output and Kernel is the marking of coinbase
related ones. Allows the validation of the coinbase part of a block.
Some renaming and cleanup of the Input, Output, Transaction and
Block structs. The main change is the removal of all the overt
structures which are now replaced by a specialized module to
build transactions easily. More specifically:
* Rename the TxProof to TxKernel in Block to reflect the current
naming consensus in MimbleWimble.
* Change Input and Output to be plain structs instead of enums
making their manipulation a lot easier. The building of
transactions is now handled by the build module.
* Input now directly includes the commitment of the Output it's
spending instead of going through an intermediate hash.
* The new build module encapsulates all the transaction building
logic, making it very straightforward by chaining combinators.
* Moves some tests to the core mod.rs as they required being able
to build a transaction to test it.
* use MESSAGE_SIZE constant instead of 32
* use Hashed trait in genesis
* safer serialization of Hash
* Hashed of [u8] should send only data to hash function, not length + data
* Safer serialization of Proof
* Safer serialization of Commitment
* Safer serialization of RangeProof
* introduce read_limited_vec instead of potential panic in conversion
