Port numbers can now be specified using either a colon or a space.
Examples:
1.2.3.4:51235
1.2.3.4 51235
- In the configuration file, an annoying "gotcha" for node operators is
accidentally specifying IP:PORT combinations using a colon. The code
previously expected a space, not a colon. It also does not provide
good feedback when this operator error is made.
- This change simply allows this mistake (using a colon) to be fixed
automatically, preserving the intention of the operator.
- Add unit tests, which test the functionality when specifying IP:PORT
in the configuration file.
- The RPCCall test regime is not specific enough to test this
functionality, it has been tested by hand.
- Ensure IPv6 addresses are not confused for ip:port

A few unit tests have historically generated a lot of noise
to the console from log writes. This noise was not useful
and made it harder to locate actual test failures.
By changing the log level of these tests from
- severities::kError to
- severities::kDisabled
it was possible to remove that noise coming from the logs.
When evaluating the fitness and usefulness of an outbound peer, the code
would incorrectly calculate the amount of time that the peer spent in
a non-useful state.
This commit, if merged, corrects the calculation and makes the timeout
values configurable by server operators.
Two new options are introduced in the 'overlay' stanza of the config
file. The default values, in seconds, are:
[overlay]
max_unknown_time = 600
max_diverged_time = 300
* The amendment ballot counting code contained a minor technical
flaw, caused by the use of integer arithmetic and rounding
semantics, that could allow amendments to reach majority with
slightly less than 80% support. This commit introduces an
amendment which, if enabled, will ensure that activation
requires at least 80% support.
* This commit also introduces a configuration option to adjust
the amendment activation hysteresis. This option is useful on
test networks, but should not be used on the main network as
is a network-wide consensus parameter that should not be
changed on a per-server basis; doing so can result in a
hard-fork.
Fixes#3396
Treat all `#` characters in config files as comments (and remove)
*unless* the `#` is immediately preceded by `\`. Write a warning
to log file when trailing comments are found/ignored in the config
to let operators know that the treatment of trailing `#` has changed.
Fixes#3121
* Adds local file:// URL support to the [validator_list_sites] stanza.
The file:// URL must not contain a hostname. Allows a rippled node
operator to "sideload" a new list if their node is unable to reach
a validator list's web site before an old list expires. Lists
loaded from a file will be validated in the same way a downloaded
list is validated.
* Generalize file/dir "guards" from Config test so they can be reused
in other tests.
* Check for error when reading validators.txt. Saves some parsing and
checking of an empty string, and will give a more meaningful error.
* Completes RIPD-1674.
Validator lists from configured remote sites are fetched at a regular
interval. Fetched lists are expected to be in JSON format and contain the
following fields:
* "manifest": Base64-encoded serialization of a manifest containing the
validator publisher's master and signing public keys.
* "blob": Base64-encoded JSON string containing a "sequence",
"expiration" and "validators" field. "expiration" contains the Ripple
timestamp (seconds since January 1st, 2000 (00:00 UTC)) for when the
list expires. "validators" contains an array of objects with a
"validation_public_key" field.
* "signature": Hex-encoded signature of the blob using the publisher's
signing key.
* "version": 1
* "refreshInterval" (optional)
Instead of specifying a static list of trusted validators in the config
or validators file, the configuration can now include trusted validator
list publisher keys.
The trusted validator list and quorum are now reset each consensus
round using the latest validator lists and the list of recent
validations seen. The minimum validation quorum is now only
configurable via the command line.
* This fixes an uncommon, but annoying, spurious failure running this
test, particularly in release builds. This appears to be an issue with
Windows of the FS where quickly creating and deleting the same
directory repeatedly will eventually fail.
* RIPD-1390
