* Adding switch commit to grin outputs
* logging output fix
* adding switch commitment hash to sum tree node
* added hash_with to Hashed trait, to allow for hashing to include another writeable element
* adding hash_with as method in hashed trait
* added global slog instance, changed all logging macro formats to include logger instance
* adding configuration to logging, allowing for multiple log outputs
* updates to test, changes to build docs
* rustfmt
* moving logging functions into util crate
* Integrate PMMR and its persistent backend with the Chain
* Chain can set tree roots; PMMR backend discard
* Check spent and prune for each input in new block
* Handling of forks by rewinding the state
* More PMMR tests and fixes, mostly around rewind
* Rewrite get_unspent to use the sumtrees, fix remaining compilation issues
* Adding ability to load multiple mining plugins in parallel via cuckoo miner
* updating with newest cuckoo-miner changes
* revert default config value
* update pow document with link to podcast
* adding rangeproof doc
* changes to intro doc to represent range proofs
* updating build and config doc with info on platforms and the configuration file
* added reference to introduction document
* Clarifications to SHA3 hash and addition of progress-freeness concept in Pooling Capacity
* Update to cuckoo cycle details based on John Tromp's comments.
* A couple of typos
* More clarifications based on John Tromp's feedback
* Beginning to add a POW description, and some minor changes to mining testing, addition of further debug information to mining output.
* Many additions to create first draft of POW documentation
* Fixes to difficult adjustments by adding a MINIMUM_DIFFICULTY consensus value. Otherwise never adjusted above 1 due to flooring.
* Starting to refactor test, adding http post to wallet sender
* Implemented ability to run servers on different ports (mostly for testing), and implemented ability to post http requests directly to receiving wallets
* Adding detailed instructions on running multiple servers on the same machine
* Changes to build.doc to outline server running process
* Removed unwanted debug statements
* WIP Local server testing framework evolution
* More refactoring of server pool, checked in because there's a problem
* Added server reference structure, and ability to return server references from tests cleanly
* Added simulate_parallel_mining test, which puts some artificial slowdown into test mining loops, and the difficulty can currently be watched in the log
* Removing the ServerRef structure placed in earlier and replaced with a ServerStats structure, that just returns relevant info about the Server state without exposing it to the world
* 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.
