* Beginning work on pool design doc
* Refining data structures; adding connect capability
* Fleshing out the connectivity paths for the tx pool
* Bringing tx pool and orphan set add logic up into parent TransactionPool
* Use output's commitment as identifier in graph structures
* Breaking a bunch of stuff to start migration to output commitment as id instead of hash
* Wrapping up updates to pool using commitment keys, dummy blockchain. Contains lots of cleanup on the internal flow.
* Beginning work on new block reconciliation
* WIP: Replacing monolithic pool cleanup with mark-and-sweep, which greatly simplifies the logic.
* Laying the groundwork for pool tests; test tx generator
* WIP: More elaborate test helpers; starting work on more elaborate block acceptance test.
* Need DummyUtxoSet to actually apply blocks now
* Using search_for_best_output to validate output status in test_basic_pool_add
* Enable modification of chain while under shared pool ownership. Cleanup pending
* WIP: Begining to untangle the TransactionPool impl from Pool and Orphans data structures
* Finishing refactoring of pool block reconciliaition; getting tests working again
* Add metrics for graph sizes; prereq to pool size throttling
* Remove redundant search_for_available_output from pool graph container
* Minimum viable block builder: return all fully rooted txs
* Tests for block building procedure
* Delegate duplicate output checking to check_duplicate_outputs
* Delegate orphan reference resolution to resolve_orphan_refs
Block, Output and Kernel now have bitmasks to hold supported
features and eventually versioning. Will make adding features and
updates easier and open the possibility of soft forks.
First added feature for Output and Kernel is the marking of coinbase
related ones. Allows the validation of the coinbase part of a block.
Documentation aimed at a technical audience, just requiring some basic
knowledge of bitcoin, to explain how MimbleWimble works and how it's
applied in Grin.
