-Vinnie's List: Changes day to day, descending priority
-- PeerFinder work
-- Validators work
-- HTTPClient improvements based on HTTPServer
-- HTTPMessage improvements
-- Ditch old HTTPClient so I can take the name
-- Finish RPCAsyncServer, RPCService and RPCService::Manager
-- Fix RPCDoor to respect config setting for [rpc_secure]
-- Clean up calculation of COnfig file location.
-- Remove TESTNET and all related code and settings.
-- Remove addRpcSub, findRpcSub, and notify the appropriate partner(s)
-
-David Features:
-- override config items from command line
-- change config via RPC, this is for debugging
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-- std::priority_queue for DeadlineTimer
-
-- Validators should delay the application of newly downloaded lists from
- sources, to mitigate the effects of attacks. Unless there's no validators
- in the list.
-
-- Validators RPC options to immediately apply UNL,
- manually revisit sources, etc...
-
-- Look into using CMake
-
-- IPv6 support in IP::Endpoint
-
-- Configuration list for Jenkins
-
-- Fix all crash and leaks on exit
- Say there's a leak, a ledger that can never be accessed is locked in some
- structure. If the organized teardown code frees that structure, the leak
- will not be reported.
- Yes, so you'll detect some small subset of leaks that way.
- You'll still have to be vigilant for the leaks that won't detect.
- The problem is ordering. There are lots of circular dependencies.
- The biggest problem is the order of destruction of global objects. (I think)
- Getting rid of global objects is a good solution to that.
- Vinnie Falco: Those I can resolve with my ReferenceCountedSingleton. And
- yeah thats a good approach, one that I am doing slowly anyway
- Yeah, that's good for other reasons too, not just the unpredictability of
- creation order that can hide bugs.
- There may also just be some missing destructors.
- Some of it may be things being shut down in the wrong order. Like if you shut
- down the cache and then something that uses the cache, objects may get
- put in the cache after it was shut down.
-
-- Consolidate JSON code maybe use Beast
-
-- Deeply create directories specified in config settings
-
-- Refactor Section code into ConfigFile
-
-- Supress useless gcc warnings
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3378560/how-to-disable-gcc-warnings-for-a-few-lines-of-code
-
-- Get rid of boost::filesystem
-
-- What the heck is up with site_scons/site_tools/protoc.py?
-
-- Add convenience variadic functions to JobQueue that do the bind for you
-
-- Consolidate databases
-
-- Figure out why we need WAL sqlite mode if we no longer use sqlite for the node store
-
-- Add "skipped" field to beginTestCase() to disable a test but still record
- that it was skipped in the output. Like for mdb import.
-
-- Get rid of 'ref' typedefs that really mean const&
-
-- Use secp256k1 from beast
-
-- Fix xsd/dtd line in JUnit XML output
-
-- Get rid of the WriteLog() stuff in the ripple tests and make it report the
- message directly to the UnitTest object. Then update the JUnit XML output
- routines to also write the auxiliary messages.
-
-* Restyle all the macros in ConfigSection.h
-
-- Move src/protobuf to Subtrees and deal with protobuf_core.cpp
-
-- Replace home-made database wrappers with beast::sqdb
-
-- Use static creation member functions instead of endless constructor
- variations in base_uint, uint256, and family.
-
-- Raise the warning level and fix everything
-
-- Replace base_uint and uintXXX with UnsignedInteger
- * Need to specialize UnsignedInteger to work efficiently with 4 and 8 byte
- multiples of the size.
-
-- Rewrite boost program_options in Beast
-
-- Replace endian conversion calls with beast calls:
- htobe32, be32toh, ntohl, etc...
- Start by removing the system headers which provide these routines, if possible
-
-- Rename RPCHandler to CallHandler
-
-- Rename "fullBelow" to something like haveAllDescendants or haveAllChildren.
-
-- Rewrite Sustain to use Beast and work on Windows as well
- * Do not enable watchdog process if a debugger is attached
-
-- Make sure the leak detector output appears on Linux and FreeBSD debug builds.
-
-- Rename LoadMonitor to LoadMeter, change LoadEvent to LoadMeter::ScopedSample
-
-- Rename LedgerMaster to Ledgers, create ILedgers interface.
-
-- Replace C11X with BEAST_COMPILER_SUPPORTS_MOVE_SEMANTICS
-
-- Go searching through VFALCO notes and fix everything
-
-- Deal with function-level statics used for SqliteDatabase (like in
- HSBESQLite::visitAll)
-
-- Document in order:
- SerializedType
- STObject
- SerializedLedgerEntry
-
-- Consolidate SQLite database classes: DatabaseCon, Database, SqliteDatabase.

-(Figure out a good place to record information like this permanently)

-Regarding a defect where a failing transaction was being submitted over and over
- again on the network (July 3, 2013)
-
- The core problem was an interaction between two bits of logic.
- 1) Normally, we won't relay a transaction again if we already recently relayed
- it. But this is bypassed if the transaction failed in a way that could
- allow it to succeed later. This way, if one server discovers a transaction
- can now work, it can get all servers to retry it.
- 2) Normally, we won't relay a transaction if we think it can't claim a fee.
- But if we're not sure it can't claim a fee because we're in an unhealthy
- state, we propagate the transaction to let other servers decide if they
- think it can claim a fee.
- With these two bits of logic, two unhealthy servers could infinitely propagate
- a transaction back and forth between each other.
-
-A node is "full below" if we believe we have (either in the database or
- scheduled to be stored in the database) the contents of every node below that
- node in a hash tree. When trying to acquire a hash tree/map, if a node is
- full below, we know not to bother with anything below that node.
-
-The fullBelowCache is a cache of hashes of nodes that are full below. Which means
- there are no missing children
