This change renames all occurrences of `namespace ripple` and `ripple::` to `namespace xrpl` and `xrpl::`, respectively, as well as the names of test suites. It also provides a script to allow developers to replicate the changes in their local branch or fork to avoid conflicts.
Per XLS-0095, we are taking steps to rename ripple(d) to xrpl(d).
This change specifically removes all copyright notices referencing Ripple, XRPLF, and certain affiliated contributors upon mutual agreement, so the notice in the LICENSE.md file applies throughout. Copyright notices referencing external contributions remain as-is. Duplicate verbiage is also removed.
- Specification: [XRPLF/XRPL-Standards 56](https://github.com/XRPLF/XRPL-Standards/blob/master/XLS-0056d-batch/README.md)
- Amendment: `Batch`
- Implements execution of multiple transactions within a single batch transaction with four execution modes: `tfAllOrNothing`, `tfOnlyOne`, `tfUntilFailure`, and `tfIndependent`.
- Enables atomic multi-party transactions where multiple accounts can participate in a single batch, with up to 8 inner transactions and 8 batch signers per batch transaction.
- Inner transactions use `tfInnerBatchTxn` flag with zero fees, no signature, and empty signing public key.
- Inner transactions are applied after the outer batch succeeds via the `applyBatchTransactions` function in apply.cpp.
- Network layer prevents relay of transactions with `tfInnerBatchTxn` flag - each peer applies inner transactions locally from the batch.
- Batch transactions are excluded from AccountDelegate permissions but inner transactions retain full delegation support.
- Metadata includes `ParentBatchID` linking inner transactions to their containing batch for traceability and auditing.
- Extended STTx with batch-specific signature verification methods and added protocol structures (`sfRawTransactions`, `sfBatchSigners`).
The XRP Ledger utilizes an account model. Unlike systems based on a UTXO
model, XRP Ledger accounts are first-class objects. This design choice
allows the XRP Ledger to offer rich functionality, including the ability
to own objects (offers, escrows, checks, signer lists) as well as other
advanced features, such as key rotation and configurable multi-signing
without needing to change a destination address.
The trade-off is that accounts must be stored on ledger. The XRP Ledger
applies reserve requirements, in XRP, to protect the shared global ledger
from growing excessively large as the result of spam or malicious usage.
Prior to this commit, accounts had been permanent objects; once created,
they could never be deleted.
This commit introduces a new amendment "DeletableAccounts" which, if
enabled, will allow account objects to be deleted by executing the new
"AccountDelete" transaction. Any funds remaining in the account will
be transferred to an account specified in the deletion transaction.
The amendment changes the mechanics of account creation; previously
a new account would have an initial sequence number of 1. Accounts
created after the amendment will have an initial sequence number that
is equal to the ledger in which the account was created.
Accounts can only be deleted if they are not associated with any
obligations (like RippleStates, Escrows, or PayChannels) and if the
current ledger sequence number exceeds the account's sequence number
by at least 256 so that, if recreated, the account can be protected
from transaction replay.
