Implements #1948
- Add macro `CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` to clientversion.h
- When running a prerelease (the above macro is `false`):
- In UI, show an orange warning bar at the top. This will be used for other
warnings (and alerts) as well, instead of the status bar.
- For `bitcoind`, show the warning in the "errors" field in `getinfo`
response.
- re-order Qt Actions and connect() calls to match the real GUI layout,
which makes things easier to read and understand
- remove signMessageAction and verifyMessageAction from tabGroup as we
didn't use them anyway (as tooltips are not displayed in the menu remove
these too)
- update 2 comments
- be clear we don't "Show/Hide Bitcoins", but just the client window
- remove the tooltip for toggleHideAction as this is not shown anyway
- update a comment to be more general
Windows & WindowsXP style have a problem with displaying the block progress.
Add a custom stylesheet as workaround, but only when one of those renderers is active,
otherwise leave the theme alone (issue #1071).
- this helps user to not think our Client is called "Bitcoin Wallet"
- change "About Bitcoin-Qt" to "About Bitcoin"
- change "Bitcoin debug window" to "Bitcoin - Debug window"
- change "Client" in debug Window to "Bitcoin Core"
- add signals signMessage() and verifyMessage() in addressbookpage.cpp
- connect to them in bitcoingui.cpp to switch to the corresponding tab in the Sign/Verify Message dialog
- make gotoSignMessageTab() and gotoVerifyMessageTab() private slots
- remove unused #include <QDebug> and lblBTC label
- update Bitcoin input field to a BitcoinAmountField to allow Bitcoin unit selection
- use BitcoinUnits::format for the resulting amount parameter in the generated URI (always use BTC as per BIP21)
- move MAX_URI_LENGTH and EXPORT_IMAGE_SIZE to guiconstants.h
- add OptionsModel in AddressBookPage and use it in on_showQRCode_clicked() to pass it to QRCodeDialog
- add OptionsModel in QRCodeDialog to enable display unit updates
- add updateDisplayUnit() slot to be able to imediately update currently set bitcoin unit
- make all labels in the UI-file plain text
- resize dialog to match for an updated layout (fields are now stacked and new field)
- remove unused parameters from private slots
- only enable save button, when QR Code was generated
- show message when entered amound is invalid
- add read-only QPlainTextEdit field to output generated URI
- add UI-feedback via QValidatedLineEdit
- copy button for generated signature was moved to the signature output field
- add an addressbook button to verify message tab
- input fields are now evenly ordered for sign and verify tabs
- update FIRST_CLASS_MESSAGING support to ensure a good UX
- add a button and context menu entry in addressbook for verify message (to be consistent with sign message)
- focus is now only set/changed, when clearing input fields or adding an address via addressbook
- re-work / update some strings
- ensure model gets initialized in the SignVerifyMessageDialog constructor
- add checks for a valid model to both addressbook buttons
- remove unneeded includes for Qt GUI elements that are listed in ui_signverifymessagedialog.h anyway
The current order of menu options in the tray menu doesn't really match expected usage patterns, this commit changes it to more logical order.
- Toggle show/hide first (unchanged)
- Then, send/receive coins actions, which are the critical functionality of bitcoin
- Then, sign/verify message
- Then finally the options, and closing with the debug window
Gets rid of `MainFrameRepaint` in favor of specific update functions that tell the UI exactly what changed.
This improves the efficiency of various handlers. Also fixes problems with mined transactions not showing up until restart.
The following notifications were added:
- `NotifyBlocksChanged`: Block chain changed
- `NotifyKeyStoreStatusChanged`: Wallet status (encrypted, locked) changed.
- `NotifyAddressBookChanged`: Address book entry changed.
- `NotifyTransactionChanged`: Wallet transaction added, removed or updated.
- `NotifyNumConnectionsChanged`: Number of connections changed.
- `NotifyAlertChanged`: New, updated or cancelled alert. As this finally makes it possible for the UI to know when a new alert arrived, it can be shown as OS notification.
These notifications could also be useful for RPC clients. However, currently, they are ignored in bitcoind (in noui.cpp).
Also brings back polling with timer for numBlocks in ClientModel. This value updates so frequently during initial download that the number of signals clogs the UI thread and causes heavy CPU usage. And after initial block download, the value changes so rarely that a delay of half a second until the UI updates is unnoticable.
Implemented without having to touch any translation: by listening for QEvent::ToolTipChange events, then rewriting the tooltips to prefix `<qt/>` if it is not yet rich text.
- Move scripts/qt to share/qt, to clean up toplevel directories
- Update english ts file which is used to source messages for Transifex
- In extract_strings_qt.py use a glob *.h *.cpp, this is safe now that the Wx UI files are removed
- converted openBictoinAction to toggleHideAction
- put GUIUtil functions into a namespace instead of a class
- put window-related functions together in optionsdialog
Reasoning:
- toggle is more typical behaviour
- it's more functional
- better UX
The typical issue with toggling visibility is that when a window
is obscured by other windows but in the 'shown' state, hiding it
isn't what you want. I've added an 'isObscured' function to GUIUtil
that checks several pixels in the window to see if they are visible
on the desktop so that an obscured but shown window can be raised.
Conflicts:
src/qt/guiutil.cpp
src/qt/guiutil.h
- rename wxMessageBox, remove redundant arguments to noui/qtui calls
- also, add flag to force blocking, modal dialog box for disk space warning etc
- clarify function naming
- no more special MessageBox needed from AppInit2, as window object is created before calling AppInit2
- Overall, this is better design
- This fixes problems with the address book UI not updating when the address book is changed through RPC
- Move Statusbar change detection responsibility to ClientModel
It was too hyperactive.
gmaxwell: I mean that right now when the block gap goes over an hour it starts showing synchronizing. Increasing that to 90 minutes or so would make it only happen about 6.4 times per year
- icon from the LGPL Nuvola set (like the tick) - http://www.icon-king.com/projects/nuvola/
- include 'boost/version.hpp' in db.cpp so that the overwrite version of copy can be used
- catch exceptions in BackupWallet (e.g. filesystem_error thrown when trying to overwrite without the overwrite flag set)
- include db.h in walletmodel.cpp for BackupWallet function
- updated doc/assets-attribution.txt and contrib/debian/copyright with copyright info for new icon
- In a previous patch, show() was added to all the page switcher functions. As the contructor calls showOverviewPage(), this means the window is shown in the constructor.
- This change prevents this by connecting show() to the signal instead.
Now it can't be told if this is was a Windows App before. All Mac design principles are fulfilled and some cosmetics have been applied to suit the native look and feel. The biggest change there is the proper use of the Dock icon which takes the role of the Tray icon on Mac.
The QDoubleSpinBox improves entering of Bitcoin amounts, no two separate fields are required anymore. All functionality and validation effects have been retained; pressing the comma key will be internally translated to a period to keep it consistent throughout the application and eases entering in countries which use the comma as decimal separator.
Additionally, Notificator now supports Growl, Mac's native notification system. This is provided via Apple Script in order to avoid linking to Growl on compile time. Other changes involve encapsulation of Toolbar and Menubar creation, loading of Qt's own translation and some clean up.
- Split "Description" column into "Type" and "Address", to make sorting easier (and facilitate filtering in the future)
- Merged "credit" and "debit" columns into one "amount" column that can be black (positive) or red (negative)
