the file structure has changed, so some of the listed files may not be needed anymore

It needs deeper checking

Merge 0.9.6.2 with 0.11
Just looking at pulling in all the 0.9.6.2 fixes, see if that corrects the build problem. I’d rather work on re-implementing a few 0.11 specific files than find a possible .gitignore missing file or setting only @Lizhi has on his PC…

I have created a working document, to assist or add to the document, fork the repository https://github.com/wrapperband/FTC-Wallet-Layout-Examples/blob/master/Develpment/0.11-0.9merge Conflicts.txt and update the document. Push any changes.

To work on the merge, create a branch of 0.11, clone it, then replace the names with your test branch, create the pull, then use the command line to merge. Note : normally merges would be the other way round, in this case 0.9.6.2 is building and 0.11 is not. …

https://github.com/wrapperband/Feathercoin/pull/1

git fetch origin
git checkout -b 0.9.6.2 origin/0.9.6.2
git merge 0.11.2-wrapper

These files have conflicts, 0.11 should be used.
src/alert.cpp
src/alert.h
src/base40.h
src/base58.cpp
src/chainparams.cpp
src/chainparams.h

These need checking but shouldn’t be stoppers.

Regarding opennames variables, leave them out, if they are not already in 0.11.2 code. They are defined in file included by much more files, than needed and generate bulks of error messages ‘variable defined, but not used’ Iv’e tried to remove the definitions wherever possible when trying to compile 0.11.2 last year.

After adding missing files / updating configure.ac :

src/qt/qrcodedialog.h and qrcodedialog.cpp

Compile fails at :

Tried adding missing file : feathercoin.qrc

Created list of files Not in version 0.11.2 but in version 0.9.6.2 in ~/projects/Feathercoin :

diff -r ~/projects/Feathercoin ~/Feathercoin | grep ~/projects/Feathercoin > difference2.txt

0.11.2 build error

  CXX      qt/qt_libbitcoinqt_a-qrcodedialog.o
qt/qrcodedialog.cpp: In member function ‘QString QRCodeDialog::getURI()’:

make[2]: *** [qt/qt_libbitcoinqt_a-qrcodedialog.o] Error 1

go check src/qt/bitcoinunits.cpp and .h

easy fix

add relevant FTC eqivilants into bitcoinunits.h

    enum Unit
    {
        MBTC,
        kBTC,
        BTC,
        mBTC,
        uBTC, 
        MFTC,
        kFTC,
        FTC,
        mFTC,
        uFTC
    };

proper fix…edit both files …requires further understanding of the code for me.

@AcidD we should create and use a feathercoinunits.cpp/.h and use that instead

I agree and this is the same thing we need to look at for other changes during the review whilst moving to head.
The main reason is to make future merges less problematic.

AcidD

Can someone fork Bitcoin into the Feathercoin Github ?

@Wrapper you made a fair point a while back somewhere…if we properly fork from Bitcoin head and then do our commits we can easily pull in their fixes as well ?

wrapper

@AcidD Yes, thats the job I call “Going to Head” !

Getting this message opening the debug.log in 0.11.2

The file /home/tony/.feathercoin/debug.log was opened with UTF-8 encoding but contained invalid characters.
It is set to read-only mode, as saving might destroy its content.
Either reopen the file with the correct encoding chosen or enable the read-write mode again in the tools menu to be able to edit it.

When writing to the Debug log, does 0.11.2 leave comments that are written by @lizhi and therefore uses a different character encoding?

Issue Notes :

Whilst syncing a (fresh blockchain database/wallet) Feathercoin 0.11.2-dev , mouse over the exclamation mark next to Balances . says Bitcoin

QRCodes did not work - need review after merge complete

Check : Transaction fee set to 0.00001 FTC/kB

Sign message - tool tip on Advanced menu option - Verify message sign message tab says bitcoin

Verify message - tool tip on Advanced menu option - Verify message - Verify message tab says bitcoin

Advanced / Options / Wallet : Check default coin control settings are correct

There are quite a few changes made to the wallet structure, the standard bitcoin connection animation looks Ok. opennames is missing.

@AFB helped to do some fiddling to bring in all the improvements we did into 0.11.2 , possibly make a couple more icons / update some bad new forms.

There is another test (that would help us move to head) - Fork Bitcoin, checkout 0.11 last version - merge ftc 0.11.2

Update autoconfig.sh to test for zxing Directory e.g. :
if [ ! -d “$DIRECTORY” ]; then
# Control will enter here if $DIRECTORY doesn’t exist.
fi

Update Re-Indexing message to be more friendly / informative? (when you upgrade)

Why do we have uFTC and mFTC surely DecaFTC is more logical?? (needs review)

Test and document Smart contracts.

Smart contracts is just a form, review and remove, smart contract form.

SX search for stealth coins not included.

find not utf-8 characters grep -axv ‘.*’ main.cpp

propose launch option shrink debug file :

Add -shrinkdebuglog to the options you use to start feathercoin, or add shrinkdebuglog=1 to your feathercoin.conf. Every startup, if the log is larger than 1MB, it will shrink it to 200KB.

wallet.cpp change control :
// TODO: fix handling of ‘change’ outputs. The assumption is that any
// payment to a script that is ours, but is not in the address book
// is change. That assumption is likely to break when we implement multisignature
// wallets that return change back into a multi-signature-protected address;
// a better way of identifying which outputs are ‘the send’ and which are
// ‘the change’ will need to be implemented (maybe extend CWalletTx to remember
// which output, if any, was change).

Re-Integrate updated Documents from 0.9.6.2

Review MAN pages - copied in from 0.9.6.1 because 0.11.2 MANs were deleted. need review against Bitcoin 0.11.1
