1.4.0

• v1.4.0 (2016-06-26)
  • Ported to Python 3
  • PEP8 styling applied across codebase
  • Added Docker packaging support
  • Removed counterwallet_iofeeds and socketio stuff
  • Move armory-utxsvr into its own repo
  • Fixes for timezone in generated/parsed datetimes
  • Update "reparse" command logic to make it like counterparty-lib
  • Pegged deps to specific versions
  • Added ability to disable file logging for main log and tx log

1.3.1

• v1.3.1 (2016-01-24)
  • Modify blockfeed logic to work with reorgs properly again with the undolog fix introduced in counterparty-lib 9.53.0.
  • Enhance blockfeed error recovery logic to make more robust and minimize/remove chance of blockfeed hangs.
  • /_api handler includes extra fields: counterparty-server_caught_up and improved reporting of error conditions.
  • Code upgraded to work with pymongo >= 3.1

1.3.0

• v1.3.0 (2015-10-31)
  • Fixes periodic blockfeed hanging issue (where counterblock would still run, but not process new blocks from counterparty-server)
  • Block processing is much more robust now if an exception is encountered (e.g. counterparty-server goes down). Should prevent additional hanging-type issues
  • Tweaked blockfeed "caught up" checking logic. Should be more reliable
  • Simplified blockchain module -- we call API methods on counterparty-server now, whereever possible, instead of reimplementing them on counterblock
  • Enhance the information returned with GET /_api. Several new parameters added, including ERROR for easier diagnosing of most common error conditions.
  • GET /_api now returns CORS headers, allowing it to be used with cross domain requests
  • Added this ChangeLog.md file

1.2.0

• Pegs the pymongo library version, to avoid incompatibility issues with pymongo 3.0
• Improves exception logging for exceptions that happen within a greenlet thread context
• Fixes an issue with an exception on reorg processing (from counterparty-server's message feed).
• Modifies the state flow with rollbacks to streamline and simplify things a bit

1.2.0-BETA

This release moves most counterblock functionality into plug-in modules.

NOTE: THIS RELEASE REQUIRES COUNTERPARTY 9.51.0

For the list of modules, and their purpose, as well as how you can write you own modules, please see this link.

Upgrading from 1.1.0

Assisted / Federated Node

If on a federated node, the easiest thing is to just update to the newest federatednode_build master, and rerun ./run.py, selecting r to rebuild.

Manually

If you'd like to manually make these changes, you'll need to create a few config files in your counterblock config-dir (e.g. ~xcp/.config/counterblock/). The first is a modules.conf (and possibly modules.testnet.conf) file, which on a Counterwallet system (which enables all available plugin-modules) will look like this:

[LoadModule]
lib/modules/assets = True
lib/modules/counterwallet = True
lib/modules/counterwallet_iofeeds = True
lib/modules/dex = True
lib/modules/transaction_stats = True
lib/modules/betting = True

If you don't need all of these modules enabled, you can set any of the above to False.

If you're running a Counterwallet server, you'll also need to create a counterwallet.conf / counterwallet.testnet.conf file in that same directory. That file will contain the following:

[Default]
support-email=<your support email>

Of course, change <your support email> to whatever email address you use.

Upon making these changes, you should then be able to restart counterblock, and it will load the appropriate plugins.

Reparse Recommended

NOTE: We highly recommend doing a manual re-parse the first time launching counterblock 1.2.0. Do this by specifying the --reparse flag, e.g. sudo su -s /bin/bash -c 'PYTHON_EGG_CACHE=/tmp/counterblock.eggs counterblock --reparse' xcpd for mainnet.

1.1.1

This is a bug fix release that fixes some (uncaught) runtime errors that can cause significant stability problems in Counterblock in certain cases. It also properly implements logging of uncaught errors to the counterblock log files.

It is highly recommended that all users running counterblock upgrade to this version.

1.1.0

• Updated to work with the new architecture of counterparty 9.49.4 (the configuration options have been adjusted to be like counterparty, e.g. no more --data-dir)
• new configuration file locations by default
• Added setup.py for setuptools / pip

Version 1.0.1

Fixes:

• block state variable naming change
• get_jsonrpc_api() fix with abort_on_error=False
• bug fix with URL fetching, abort_on_error setting
• Fix for ambivalent variable name
• fix division per zero
