The XRPEndpointStep bypassed the logic in deferred credits and
incorrectly counted funds acquired during a payment as available for
use in the payment. It also incorrectly used the current ownerCount when
calculating the reserve instead of the owner count as it was at the
beginning of the payment (reducing the owner count is analogous to
acquiring funds during a payment.)
Payment channels permit off-ledger checkpoints of XRP payments flowing
in a single direction. A channel sequesters the owner's XRP in its own
ledger entry. The owner can authorize the recipient to claim up to a
give balance by giving the receiver a signed message (off-ledger). The
recipient can use this signed message to claim any unpaid balance while
the channel remains open. The owner can top off the line as needed. If
the channel has not paid out all its funds, the owner must wait out a
delay to close the channel to give the recipient a chance to supply any
claims. The recipient can close the channel at any time. Any transaction
that touches the channel after the expiration time will close the
channel. The total amount paid increases monotonically as newer claims
are issued. When the channel is closed any remaining balance is returned
to the owner. Channels are intended to permit intermittent off-ledger
settlement of ILP trust lines as balances get substantial. For
bidirectional channels, a payment channel can be used in each direction.
* Updates both server_info and server_state
* Adds "load_factor_server", which reports the server-only portion of the
load (if appropriate) so clients can decide an appropriate fee to pay if
the open ledger fee is higher than they're willing to pay.
=== Release Notes ===
==== Updated Features ====
Both `server_info` and `server_state` report the escalated ledger fee in
the `load_factor` result parameter. If appropriate, `load_factor_server`
reports the server-only portion of the load so clients can submit a fee
between those two values to get into the queue.
* Account-related queue stats (RIPD-1205). Boolean "queue" parameter to
account_info only if requesting the open ledger.
* Account for the TxQ when autofilling sequence in sign-and-submit (RIPD-1206)
* Tweak TxQ::accept edge case when choosing which tx to try next.
* Labels for experimental "x_" submit parameters use correct separator.
=== Release Notes ===
==== New features ====
When requesting `account_info` for the open ledger, include the `queue :
true` to get extra information about any queued transactions for this
account. (RIPD-1205).
==== Bug fixes ====
When using sign-and-submit mode to autofill a transaction's sequence
number, the logic will not reuse a sequence number that is in the queue
for this account. (RIPD-1206).
Labels for experimental "x_queue_okay" and "x_assume_tx" parameters to
`sign` and `submit` updated to use correct separator.
Previously, writes using debugLog() tagged every entry with
"TRC:". Now users of debugLog() must specify the severity
level they want their information logged at.
The Ripple protocol represent transfer rates and trust line
qualities as fractions of one billion. For example, a transfer
rate of 1% is represented as 1010000000.
Previously, such rates where represented either as std::uint32_t
or std::uint64_t. Other, nominally related types, also used an
integral representation and could be unintentionally substituted.
The new Rate class addresses this by providing a simple, type
safe alternative which also helps make the code self-documenting
since arithmetic operations now can be clearly understood to
involve the scaling of an amount by a rate.
There was a bug in version 0.30.1 where signing with an ed25519
key and a corrupt seed would cause the "sign" and "sign_for"
commands to return an unexpected error. That bug was fixed in
the 0.31.0 release.
These unit tests verify the fix. The error message for a corrupt
seed is also slightly improved.
* Updates many (but probably not all) locations that access base_uint
private storage.
* More calls to access base_uint through members.
* Use an iterator to write Serializer collections.
The CBigNum class is a wrapper around OpenSSL's BIGNUM implementation
to make use simpler.
Replacing the implementation with boost::multiprecision helps reduce
the size of the codebase and improves performance (benchmarks show
the new boost-based implementation is ~7x faster).
