Bitcoin-S-Core v0.3.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-03-19 // about 4 years ago
  • βš™ Running bitcoin-s

    πŸ”§ If you want to run the standalone server binary, after verifying gpg signatures, you can unzip bitcoin-s-server-0.3.0.zip and then run it with ./bin/bitcoin-s-server to start the node. You will need to configure the node properly first, you can find example configurations here.

    You can also unzip the bitcoin-s-cli-0.3.0.zip folder and start using the bitcoin-s-cli like this:

    ./bin/bitcoin-s-cli --help
    Usage: bitcoin-s-cli [options] [<cmd>]
    
      -n, --network <value> Select the active network.
      --debug Print debugging information
      -h, --help Display this help message and exit
      <cmd> The command and arguments to be executed. Try bitcoin-s-cli help for a list of all commands
    

    πŸ“š For more information on what comands bitcoin-s-cli supports you will need to look at source code as we do not have documentation yet, here is where to start: https://github.com/bitcoin-s/bitcoin-s/blob/v0.3.0/app/cli/src/main/scala/org/bitcoins/cli/ConsoleCli.scala#L35

    Migrations

    All of our modules that require databases now have database migrations. The tool we use for these migrations is called flyway. To find your projects migraitons, you need to look inside of the [project-name]/src/main/resources/[database-name]/migration/. For example, the chain projects migrations live under the path chain/src/main/resources/chaindb/migration/V1__chain_db_baseline.sql.

    0️⃣ Migrations can be executed by calling the DbManagement.migrate() method. Migrations are applied by default on server startup, via the AppConfig.initialize() method.

    πŸ”§ These migrations are setup so that project's databases and migrations are independent of each other. Therefore if you want to use the bitcoin-s-chain project, but not the bitcoin-s-wallet project, wallet migrations are not applied. It should be noted if you are using a module as a library, you are responsible for configuring the database via slick's configuration and calling AppConfig.initialize() to ensure the entire module is initialized correctly.

    Module level changes

    Bitcoind RPC client

    πŸ‘ Bitcoin-S now supports the RPC commands introduced bitcoind v19 and is still backwards compatible with previously supported versions.

    πŸš€ The list of new RPC commands can be found here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.19.0.1.md#new-rpcs

    Commits

    βœ… 6e5c0e4 Fix the time based test cases in BitcoindV17RpcClientTest (#1224)

    βœ… 39bcfb2 Add sanity tests for .hashCode() and .equals() for multiple instances for EclairRpcClient/BitcoindRpcClient (#881)

    Core

    πŸš€ Bitcoin-S has entirely re-written its signing logic in this release. Previously, BitcoinUTXOSpendingInfo was a generic type which was used for signing all ScriptPubKeys. Now BitcoinUTXOSpendingInfo has become an ADT with specific support for different kinds of signing and which supports nesting for nested ScriptPubKey structures such as P2WSH and ConditionalScriptPubKey. In conjunction with this change to BitcoinUTXOSpendingInfo, the Signer ADT has been re-written to work with specific BitcoinUTXOSpendingInfo subtypes and to support nesting via delegation to other Signers when signing a ScriptPubKey with nested/composed structure. This change has allowed all signing logic to be removed from TxBuilder which now makes a simple call to BitcoinSigner.sign.

    πŸ”¨ Alongside the refactor of all signing logic in Bitcoin-S, the ability to sign transactions with a specific key alone, and generate only a single ECDigitalSignature has also been added. This functionality is essential to multi-party transaction construction as Bitcoin-S signing previously required all Signers to be available at once for signing. This new functionality is carried out by BitcoinSignerSingles using the method signSingle.

    πŸ‘€ See https://bitcoin-s.org/docs/core/adding-spks for a full description of how ScriptPubKeys are now created and signed for.

    πŸ“¦ Bitcoin-S now has implementations of BIP 158 Golomb Coded Sets in the new gcs package within core. This includes general functionality to create filters of any kind as descried in BIP 158, which can be found in GCS.scala and GolombFilter.scala. Specific support for Basic Block Filters used by version 0 Neutrino nodes is also implemented in BlockFilter.scala. BIP 157 Filter Headers are also implemented in FilterHeader.scala. Various algorithms for matching against these BIP 158 filters are implemented in the BlockFilterMatcher trait.

    πŸ“š Bitcoin-S now fully supports PSBTs with functionality for creation, updating, combining, signing, finalizing, and transaction extraction. You can find the documentation here: https://bitcoin-s.org/docs/core/psbts

    Chain

    Compact filters

    We incorporated storage for CompactFilterHeaders and CompactFilters in the chain project. For more information on what these are please read BIP158. We currently cache all filters locally so that they can be reused for things like wallet rescans.

    πŸ‘€ If you would like to see how wallet rescans work with the filters, please see https://bitcoin-s.org/docs/wallet/wallet-rescan

    Cli

    πŸ‘ The CLI project has added support for PSBTs, getting the number of filters and filter headers, and doing a wallet rescan.

    As well as new CLI commands, a Console CLI has been added. This allows you to access CLI commands from within the code base.

    Db commons

    πŸ“¦ These are mostly minor bug fixes inside of this library. As db-commons is mainly used as a utility library for us for interacting with our application, most of these fixes do not apply to you. This package will more than likely be renamed to app-commons in the future.

    Key Manager

    πŸš€ The key manager is a new module this release. The key manager module's goal is to encapsulate all private key interactions with the wallet project. For more information please see: https://bitcoin-s.org/docs/key-manager/key-manager

    Limitations

    There is also an ongoing discussion about the two possible passwords the key manager can have:

    1. BIP39 Password
    2. A password used to encrypt the key material on disk.

    #972

    πŸ‘€ Currently bip39 password is supported at the library level, but is not supported for end users using the server project. You can see that the bip39 password is hard coded to None here.

    πŸ‘€ There is a password that is used to encrypt your mnemonic seed on disk, but that password is hard coded to a default value. THIS MEANS THAT YOUR MNEMONIC SEED CAN TRIVIALLY BE STOLEN IF AN ATTACKER CAN ACCESS YOUR HARD DRIVE. TAKE PROPER OPSEC PRECAUTIONS.

    πŸš€ Overall the key manager module should be considered insecure. For this release, it is more about setting up the API for further development in subsequent releases.

    Node

    πŸš€ We now support a neutrino node that can be hooked up to the rest of bitcoin-s to interact with the p2p network. Since neutrino is not officially released yet in bitcoin core, we have built a custom binary to run it. If you wish to experiment with neutrino please the website:

    71a136b Fix bug where we were sending messages before we were fully initialized (#755)

    Server

    πŸš€ The server project is a bundle of all of our sub projects that you can send http requests to and have bitcoin-s do something. The easiest way to do this is with the CLI tool. The biggest change in this release is now we support configuration with a --datadir flag to specify where the bitcoin-s datadir rather than just reading the default. For more information read https://bitcoin-s.org/docs/applications/server

    πŸ”§ 2896fd9 2020 02 21 datadir configurable (#1156)
    πŸ‘€ 30f5850 Added server handling for empty account tables while a seed exists (#1094)

    βœ… Testkit

    πŸš€ This release is enhancing pre-existing test case functionality and cleaning up bugs. We now have common traits for a lot of our older test cases that allow us to make it easier to refactor the entire code base. It also fixes a few small bugs in the fixture creation and deletion code that were the source of CI failures.

    Commits

    πŸ‘· ba2cded Address issue 916. In our chain project fixtures we did not make sure that tables were fully created before trying to insert information into tables in futures. This causes race conditions on slow CI machines that are fixed now because we call 'makeChainHandler()' inside of the setupTableF flatMap (#1129)

    Wallet

    The wallet project now computes transaction confirmations dynamically, allows for more expressive states for transaction state (ie pending confirmation vs confirmed), as well as adds the ability for wallet recovery and rescans.
