If the 'HardenedValidations' amendment is enabled, this commit will
track the version of the software that validators embed in their
validations.
If a server notices that at least 60% of the validators on its UNL
are running a newer version than it is running, it will periodically
print an informational message, reminding the operator to check for
update.
Currently there is no mechanism for a validator to report the
version of the software it is currently running. Such reports
can be useful for those who are developing network monitoring
dashboards and server operators in general.
This commit, if merged, defines an encoding scheme to encode
a version string into a 64-bit unsigned integer and adds an
additional optional field to validations.
This commit piggybacks on "HardenedValidations" amendment to
determine whether version information should be propagated
or not.
The general encoding scheme is:
XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYYY
X: 16 bits identifying the particular implementation
Y: 48 bits of data specific to the implementation
The rippled-specific format (implementation ID is: 0x18 0x3B) is:
00011000-00111011-MMMMMMMM-mmmmmmmm-pppppppp-TTNNNNNN-00000000-00000000
M: 8-bit major version (0-255)
m: 8-bit minor version (0-255)
p: 8-bit patch version (0-255)
T: 11 if neither an RC nor a beta
10 if an RC
01 if a beta
N: 6-bit rc/beta number (1-63)
- Add missing `#include` in `ripple/core/JobTypeInfo.h`
- Protect version string from clang-format in
`ripple/protocol/impl/BuildInfo.cpp`.
`Builds/CMake/RippledVersion.cmake` searches for this line by pattern.
The existing platform detection code was derived from the old Beast
library, which was, itself, derived from JUCE.
This commit removes that code and replaces it with the Boost.Predef
library which defines a consistent set of compiler, architecture,
operating system, library, and other version numbers.
For more on Boost.Predef, please see the Boost documentation. The
documentation for the current version as of this writing is at:
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_71_0/doc/html/predef.html
This commit restructures the HTTP based protocol negotiation that `rippled`
executes and introduces support for negotiation of compression for peer
links which, if implemented, should result in significant bandwidth savings
for some server roles.
This commit also introduces the new `[network_id]` configuration option
that administrators can use to specify which network the server is part of
and intends to join. This makes it possible for servers from different
networks to drop the link early.
The changeset also improves the log messages generated when negotiation
of a peer link upgrade fails. In the past, no useful information would
be logged, making it more difficult for admins to troubleshoot errors.
This commit also fixes RIPD-237 and RIPD-451
