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.
* Sanely handled specified ledger in account_tx
* Reject un-validated ledger in account_tx
* Wait to publish a ledger until it's indexed
* Add unit test for PendingSaves
* Remove the deprecated wallet_accounts command.
* Remove dead code for generator maps.
* Remove the help for the obsolete wallet_add and wallet_claim commands
(which have already been removed).
An alternative to the unity build, the classic build compiles each
translation unit individually. This adds more modules to the classic build:
* Remove unity header app.h
* Add missing includes as needed
* Remove obsolete NodeStore backend code
* Add app/, core/, crypto/, json/, net/, overlay/, peerfinder/ to classic build
Source files are moved between modules, includes changed and added,
and some code rewritten, with the goal of reducing cross-module dependencies
and eliminating cycles in the dependency graph of classes.
* Remove RippleAddress dependency in CKey_test
* ByteOrder.h, Blob.h, and strHex.h are moved to basics/. This makes
the basics/ module fully independent of other ripple sources.
* types/ is merged into protocol/. The protocol module now contains
all primitive types specific to the Ripple protocol.
* Move ErrorCodes to protocol/
* Move base_uint to basics/
* Move Base58 to crypto/
* Remove dependence on Serializer in GenerateDeterministicKey
* Eliminate unity header json.h
* Remove obsolete unity headers
* Remove unnecessary includes
