These changes make prompting behave consistently on all platforms:
* The input buffer is now global.
Buffering was previously set up for each prompt, which can cause weird
behaviour, e.g. when running "geth account update <input.txt" where
input.txt contains three lines. In this case, the first password
prompt would fill up the buffer with all lines and then use only the
first one.
* Print the "unsupported terminal" warning only once.
Now that stdin prompting has global state, we can use it to track
the warning there.
* Work around small liner issues, particularly on Windows.
Prompting didn't work under most of the third-party terminal emulators
on Windows because liner assumes line editing is always available.
* lines with leading space are ommitted from history
* exit processed even with whitespace around
* all whitespace lines (not only empty ones) are ignored
add 7 missing commands to admin api autocomplete
registrar: methods now return proper error if reg addresses are not set. fixes#1457
rpc/console: fix personal.newAccount() regression. Now all comms accept interactive password
registrar: add registrar tests for errors
crypto: catch AES decryption error on presale wallet import + fix error msg format. fixes#1580
CLI: improve error message when starting a second instance of geth. fixes#1564
cli/accounts: unlock multiple accounts. fixes#1785
* make unlocking multiple accounts work with inline <() fd
* passwdfile now correctly read only once
* improve logs
* fix CLI help text for unlocking
fix regression with docRoot / admin API
* docRoot/jspath passed to rpc/api ParseApis, which passes onto adminApi
* docRoot field for JS console in order to pass when RPC is (re)started
* improve flag desc for jspath
common/docserver: catch http errors from response
fix rpc/api tests
common/natspec: fix end to end test (skipped because takes 8s)
registrar: fix major regression:
* deploy registrars on frontier
* register HashsReg and UrlHint in GlobalRegistrar.
* set all 3 contract addresses in code
* zero out addresses first in tests
The new strategy for interrupts is to handle them explicitly.
Ethereum.Stop is now only called once, even if multiple interrupts
are sent. Interrupting ten times in a row forces a panic.
Fixes#869Fixes#1359
Interrupting import with Ctrl-C could cause database corruption
because the signal wasn't handled. utils.ImportChain now checks
for a queued interrupt on every batch.
* common/compiler: solidity compiler + tests
* rpc: eth_compilers, eth_compileSolidity + tests
* fix natspec test using keystore API, notice exp dynamically changes addr, cleanup
* resolver implements registrars and needs to create reg contract (temp)
* xeth: solidity compiler. expose getter Solc() and paths setter SetSolc(solcPath)
* ethereumApi: implement compiler related RPC calls using XEth - json struct tests
* admin: make use of XEth.SetSolc to allow runtime setting of compiler paths
* cli: command line flags solc to set custom solc bin path
* js admin api with new features debug and contractInfo modules
* wiki is the doc https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Contracts-and-Transactions
The ethereum command line interface is now structured using subcommands.
These separate the different tasks it can perform.
Almost all flag names are backwards compatible.
The key tasks have not been ported to subcommands since they will be
replaced by the new accounts infrastructure very soon.
