The new 'Domain' field allows validator operators to associate a domain
name with their manifest in a transparent and independently verifiable
fashion.
It is important to point out that while this system can cryptographically
prove that a particular validator claims to be associated with a domain
it does *NOT* prove that the validator is, actually, associated with that
domain.
Domain owners will have to cryptographically attest to operating particular
validators that claim to be associated with that domain. One option for
doing so would be by making available a file over HTTPS under the domain
being claimed, which is verified separately (e.g. by ensuring that the
certificate used to serve the file matches the domain being claimed) and
which contains the long-term master public keys of validator(s) associated
with that domain.
Credit for an early prototype of this idea goes to GitHub user @cryptobrad
who introduced a PR that would allow a validator list publisher to attest
that a particular validator was associated with a domain. The idea may be
worth revisiting as a way of verifying the domain name claimed by the
validator's operator.
An audit showed that a number of the RPC error codes in
ErrorCodes.h are no longer used in the code base. The unused
codes were removed from the file along with their support code
in ErrorCodes.cpp.
The ledger already declared a transaction that is both single-
and multi-signing malformed. This just adds some checking in
the signing RPC commands (like submit and sign_for) which allows
that sort of error to be identified a bit closer to the user.
In the process of adding this code a bug was found in the
RPCCall unit test. That bug is fixed as well.
When deserializing specially crafted data, the code would ignore certain
types of errors. Reserializing objects created from such data results in
failures or generates a different serialization, which is not ideal.

The `STObject` member function `setType()` has been renamed to
applyTemplate() and modified to throw if there is a template
mismatch.
The error description in the exception is, in certain cases,
used, to better indicate why a particular transaction was
considered ill formed.
Fixes#2585.
The FeeEscalation amendment has been enabled on the XRP Ledger network
since May 19, 2016. The transaction which activated this amendment is:
5B1F1E8E791A9C243DD728680F108FEF1F28F21BA3B202B8F66E7833CA71D3C3.
This change removes all conditional code based around the FeeEscalation
amendment, but leaves the amendment definition itself since removing the
definition would cause nodes to think an unknown amendment was activate
causing them to become amendment blocked.
The commit also removes the redundant precomputed hashes from the
supportedAmendments vector.
Problem:
- There are several specific overloads with some custom code that can be
easily replaced using Boost.Hex.
Solution:
- Introduce `strHex(itr, itr)` to return a string given a begin and end
iterator.
- Remove `strHex(itr, size)` in favor of the `strHex(T)` where T is
something that has a `begin()` member function. This allows us to
remove the strHex overloads for `std::string`, Blob, and Slice.
Reduces the account reserve for a multisigning SignerList from
(conditionally) 3 to 10 OwnerCounts to (unconditionally) 1
OwnerCount. Includes a transition process.
As described in #2314, when an offer executed with `Fill or Kill`
semantics, the server would return `tesSUCCESS` even if the order
couldn't be filled and was aborted. This would require additional
processing of metadata by users to determine the effects of the
transaction.
This commit introduces the `fix1578` amendment which, if enabled,
will cause the server to return the new `tecKILLED` error code
instead of `tesSUCCESS` for `Fill or Kill` orders that could not
be filled.
Additionally, the `fix1578` amendment will prevent the setting of
the `No Ripple` flag on trust lines with negative balance; trying
to set the flag on such a trust line will fail with the new error
code `tecNEGATIVE_BALANCE`.
Switch to target-oriented dependencies. Use imported targets for
dependencies (openssl, boost). Localize FindBoost to remove cmake
version dependence for latest boost support. Logically separate
"ripple-libpp" core sources and add install targets.
Add ninja build for msvc. Add two clang sanitizer builds. Misc script
changes to work with latest modernized cmake.
This changes the rules for payments in two ways:
1) It sets the maximum number of offers any book step can consume from
2000 to 1000.
2) When a strand contains a step that consumes too many offers,
currently the liquidity is not used at all and the strand will
be considered dry. This changes things so the liquidity is used,
however the strand will still be considered dry.
